On event day, we'll feed entertaining Philadelphia missions right to your iPhone or Android smartphone using a state-of-the-art App. You and your team can do a quick scan through them all and decide which ones to take on and when. Rush through some of the seemingly easy ones to get warmed up, or head straight to the crazier ones to earn big points. You'll be stretching your boundaries and laughing hysterically in no time!

Some teaser missions to give you an idea of what to expect

From handstands in elevators to kissing live lobsters, everyone will be laughing hysterically all over the city!

COFFEE BAR STAR | 250 POINTS: Create a great Benihana-calibre teppanyaki routine at the condiment stand of your local coffee shop. The photograph must be an action shot!

Imagine standing in line for your daily cup of coffee when all of a sudden a group of people storms into the shop, heads directly to the cream and sugar station and then proceeds to throw packages of Splenda in the air while group members try to catch them with wooden stir sticks! Someone takes a picture and then just as quickly as they appeared, they're gone! You know bystanders will have an interesting story to tell around the watercooler on Monday!

CROSS DRESSERS | 1000 POINTS: Find a pair with a passion for fashion and swap their outfits with 2 members of your team. Before and after photo proof is required.

We never thought teams would even try this. "Where are they going to find 2 (sane) people who want to give up their clothes?" We're always surprised how many times we're wrong! There is no shortage of people willing to trade clothes with total strangers under the guise of "Help-us-win-this-game!". It's the odd couples that make this Mission so much fun, like the construction workers who swapped outfits with the Japanese exchange students, or the lawyers and the mannequins in the store window!

GREEN WEAVER | 500 POINTS: Create and then photograph the most useful thing you can knit, weave or otherwise fashion out of plastic grocery bags.

This is a fun Mission if teams start it early enough in the game to have time to think about the item they're going to create. Team members can really show off their creative and eco-friendly sides with this Mission and the other team members are always surprised when they discover that one of their own can make a doormat from a handful of plastic bags!

HAIRY SCARY! | 1000 POINTS: Make a Nagi Nodo critter from human hair. A bald man with a live mammal on his head will also be considered!

This is a great Mission but one that is not often completed by teams. First, find out who Nagi Nodo is (short version: she's a Japanese artist who created AMAZING sculptures out of hair. While it's still on their head! http://www.naginoda.com/works/hairhats.html). Then, teams have to plan their sculpture and beg, borrow or steal the materials to make it happen. We personally think finding a man with a mammal on his head would be easier, but a handful of teams have given it a good try. The animal of choice seems to be a big, fluffy, abstract sheep!

FRENEMIES | 250 POINTS+: Photograph the team re-enacting the splashing-in-a-fountain scene from Friends. Water must be involved and more water means more points!

This Mission is a great way to cool off in the summer, and we've learned that there are very loose definitions of fountains. Pouring a bottle of water on your team mate is a type of fountain, we suppose.
