3. The team can get a designated “arrival score” by reaching every “Check Points” 

4. There are about 60 “Online Check Points” and 4 “physical Offline Check Points” * in the competition. On top of the original arrival score, some “Check Points” have extra bonus tasks, additional scores will be given after completing the tasks. 

5. The game will end automatically when the time limit is over. The team can also end the game at any time by pressing the “end” button. 

6. The team with the highest average score in each group wins. If the same score appears, the team with the shortest finishing time will be the winner. We will calculate the average score based on the actual number of participants in each team.

* “Office Physical Check Points” will only be open for the teams to “check-in and complete the tasks” on 4th March 2023 from 9am to 5pm.

Game Strategy

1. There are 3 types of “check-in spots”:

Icon	Scoring Method
	Use GPS at the designated location upon arrival to gain the score
	Scan QR code at the designated location upon arrival to gain the score
	Upload the photo taken with AR filter

The participating team can plan their own route, starting and finishing points according to the score of the “Check Points”, and compete for the highest score within the time limit. 

2. Some “Check Points” have extra bonus tasks, every team member can participate. Additional scores will be given after completing the tasks.  

3. The AR Check Points presents the real disaster scene to the participants through the camera filter, every participant can take photo and upload to get 100 points (Each person can only upload the photo once). To increase the excitement of the game, the location of the AR Check Points will not be displayed on the map. In order to spot out the hidden AR Check Points, participants can study the description of the Check Points in the designated areas to look for the location where disasters occurred. After arrival and completing the mission, the map will automatically display the location and the route of the AR Check Points.
