Can I play with a team of 3 or a team of 5?
The short answer is ideally, no. The entire game, challenge rotation, and prize packs are designed specifically for teams of four.
However, we never want a student to miss out! If you can't quite hit that magic number of four, here is how you can handle it:

- If you have a team of 3: We highly recommend being open to letting a solo player join your squad to round you out to four. It’s a great way to make a new friend and gives you a full team for the challenges!

- If you have a team of 5: See if you can recruit three more friends to split into two separate teams of four. If that’s not possible, you can stay as a five person team, but just keep in mind that a larger team might face bottlenecks during challenges, and if your team wins, splitting up a 4-person prize pack will be up to you (and will most likely be difficult to do!)

At the end of the day, don't sweat it too much. Just register anyway, and we will make sure everyone gets to play!

What if someone on our team can't make it until 6:00 PM?
We totally get that traffic, practice, or family schedules happen! However, the clock is ticking, and the game will officially start at 6:00 PM, whether your full team is there or not.
If a teammate arrives after 6:00 PM, they can still jump in and join you, but your team will have to start the game without them. Missing the initial rule briefing will only slow your squad down, so do your absolute best to have everyone there before the countdown hits zero!

Is food provided?
Yes! Pizza and drinks are included with your registration and will be available during the check-in hour from 5:00 to 6:00 PM. It’s a great chance to fuel up before the challenges begin.

What kind of challenges will we be doing?
We can't give away the secrets just yet but expect a mix of everything! There will be fun mental puzzles, fast-paced team challenges, and strategy-based games. You won't need any special skills to complete them—just teamwork and a sense of adventure.

Do we have to wear a costume?
No, costumes aren't mandatory to play...but they are a huge part of our LIVE Clue tradition! Plus, with prizes on the line for both individual and team costumes, you definitely won't want to miss out on the fun.

What counts as a "modest and not scary" costume?
Think of fun, creative, and family-friendly! Please avoid anything with excessive gore, horror themes, or costumes excessively small or revealing. If you're unsure, reach out to your youth leader and ask!

What happens at the end of the night?
The mystery wraps up at 10:00 PM, but the night isn't over yet! We will begin collecting final Solution Sheets at 9:30 PM, and the grand prize goes to the very first squad to turn in a perfectly correct guess.

Once the clock hits 10:00 PM and all sheets are turned in, our judges will get to work calculating the game winner and tallying up the votes for the best individual and team costumes. While we crunch the numbers, the party keeps going! We’ll hang out, do some fun giveaways, and share a brief, encouraging message from God's Word.

We will officially crown our winners and dismiss everyone at 10:30 PM.

Can parents or friends come watch?
Unfortunately, not for the whole event because teams will be moving all over the building competing in challenges; we keep the main game area strictly for registered participants and event staff to keep things running smoothly. If parents want to come watch, they can hang out with as until the game starts at 6:00 PM or even come at 10:00 PM when the game will end and we find out who all our winners are!
