     It's Coming.........

Are you ready?!
 

The 2nd Annual Halloween Techno Zombie Geo Cache Hunt takes place in Palatine on Saturday October 29th, 2016!.    8:30 A.M - 7:00 P.M.

This year's fun and adventures begin at the Palatine Public Library at 8:30 am and run all day until 7:00 pm. There is an awards celebration with refreshments, live music and prizes for players and participating businesses, from 7:30 pm - 9 pm.

The Halloween Techno Zombie Geo Cache Hunt 2016! is an all ages scavenger hunt produced by Emerald City Music Productions, Inc. of Palatine, that utilizes digital technology to send players into local Palatine businesses for a fun interactive activity. The routes also include light community service work.

There are prizes for the players as well as for the businesses (funniest, scariest, most memorable)

This is the second year Emerald City Music Productions, Inc, is producing this event. Founder Barb Sorensen explains "This year we estimate 100+ players, 30+ businesses, 4 routes, 5 community service organizations and a few other interesting stops for players along the way. Some of it will be messy, some will be tricky, some is scary, and some activities will be things you might never have thought of before. All of it is a fun challenge for your wits!"

What's required to play the game?

1) A smartphone that can locate GPS coordinates, receive texts, images, sound bytes and video snippet clues
2) Transportation. We'd like to suggest a car, but a bicycle or motorbike will do too.
3) A ticket
4) Your brain!

Need some guidance on how to use your GPS locator on your cellphone to prepare for the game?
