(ETA – Registration is now closed!)

The A-MAEPS-ing Race Contest – Rules and Regulations

Salutations, minions!

We’re going to make it super easy for everyone to participate in the A-MAEPS-ing Race, which starts 10.30 am, Saturday, 17 September. Just follow these simple instructions, and remember – travel early (because we’re starting at 10.30am SHARP!), bring your clue card (download it from our site when you register – we will NOT have cards at the venue), and get ready to hunt!

1. Register yourself for the race before 3 pm on Friday 16 September 2011.
2. Complete registration to be linked to our A-MAEPS-ing race clue card. Download this card, print it (black and white or colour is fine) and cut it out.
3. Each contestant is entitled to a single card. You must bring your clue card to MAEPS Serdang – you cannot enter the Race without it!
4. On Saturday, 17th September, head down to MAEPS Serdang. Remember to make the journey early, especially if it is your first time. Aim to arrive by 10.00 am, to give yourself time to travel and explore.
   
5. Your first clue is printed on your card. At 10.30 am sharp, head to the spot you think it points to.
6. At this location, one of the Big Bad Wolf’s lieutenants will be waiting for you. They will stamp your card for you.
7. The stamp will have the clue to the next location. Find it, and you will get another clue.
8. Gather all four different stamps in sequence  and head for Hall A.
9. At Hall A, the Big Bad Wolf will be waiting for you. If you are one of the first 30 to arrive with a completed clue card (with stamps in sequence), you will be admitted to take a picture with the Wolf and given details on how to collect your preview passes.

Sounds reasonable? Prepare yourselves, then. The Wolf will be waiting.

Long Live the Invasion!

Your humble scribe,
Black Paw
