Welcome to The Ghost Game!
The Rules
When in doubt, Google.
Some of the clues may seem totally obscure. If it's not knowledge you already possess, use the Internet!
Each clue will be available for one week.
Every Friday, a new clue or set of clues will be posted on our website. Each clue will lead you to a different location within the town of Riverhead (sometimes more than one!) You'll find some interesting stuff at these locations—but only for one week! So try your best to figure out the puzzles before the following Friday. If you can't, you'll still be able to play the game; you just won't accumulate points for that week.
Rack up the points!
The game is based on a points system. If your team gets the right answer in any given week, you'll receive 50 points. If you're the first team to complete the final mission of the game (which we won't spoil for you just yet...), you'll receive 100 points. So try to be right, and in the end, try to be first.
At the very end of the game, the team with the most points will win our grand prize: two tickets for the Recreation Department's New York Jets bus trip on October 29.
Don't lose your fall brochure.
That's all we have to say about that.
Hold on to your clues.
The clues you're given each week might not make sense right away—but they will eventually! That's how mysteries are usually solved anyway, right?
Watch out for red herrings.
Every good mystery involves a red herring or two, and this one is no exception! During the course of the game, you might find yourself heading down one path—only to realize you've been led astray. Keep this in mind as you play the game.
For questions and/or help, just reach out.
If your team is lost, frustrated, nervous, or—our favorite option—totally in love with this game, please email Danielle Doll to discuss: dolld@townofriverheadny.gov.
HAPPY HUNTING!
