Where have been all my life?

But seriously, what is one adventure, or task within an adventure you've always wanted to do? Assume you have all the means required to accomplish this.

I'm asking as I love setting up scavenger hunts and have done two in the past. Here is a somewhat brief outline of them both.

The first had him travel to 5 different locations (tasks in parenthesis):

• Berczy Park (crossword puzzle with words related to the next destination)
• The Royal Ontario Museum (museum trivia)
• Swiss Chalet (playing card match game and dress up)
• The World's Biggest Bookstore (find books, pages, paragraphs, lines and words to fill in a msg with the next location)
• The Disney Store (find 4 tagged Nemo's in a large pool of stuffed animals)
• Tim Horton's (final stop)

The second was more elaborate and involved help from friends who worked at various businesses:

• His office (Harry Potter Trivia)
• My office (playing card matching game and dress up version 2),
• Bymark (restaurant where he had to match list of espresso ingredient with name of espresso, then build one from scratch)
• The Rec Room (think Dave n Busters, challenge a friend to three games of Mario Kart)
• Steam Whistle Brewery (don the Steam Whistle mascot outfit, pour two pints with no more than 1 inch of head and dance the little tea pot dance)
• Ireland Park (take a selfie and post on Facebook)
• Billy Bishop Airport (take all previous clues, in sequence and using light decode a confirmation number to be entered. If correct a boarding pass was printed)
• NYC Museum of Natural History (take park in the Museum Hack Tour) leading to drinks and dinner with 8 other friends from Toronto who flew for the occasion.

So, I have some experience. I would love to chat with you and maybe even collaborate on some adventures here in Toronto, Canada.

For me it is about puzzle building but above that I love seeing the joy people get when discovering new locations and trying new and unexpected things.

I would have loved to help. I'm sure other opportunities to work together will present themselves. I'm keen.

I've played with the idea of turning this into a business, in addition to my staffing company (topless, male waiters and bartenders - CREWMEN & Co. - shameless plug) but it will require additional resources that may take from my 9-5 job.

I'll continue to plan more adventures, possibly one for my big birthday coming up where I'd like to send some guests on an adventure ending at a secret location, the location to my birthday party.

Re puzzles: I'd like to incorporate real locations in tandem with technology (social media, GPS) to create puzzles. Or one time puzzles the likes of Exit the Game (escape room 'board game' game).

Yes. European adventures would kick ass; pardon my French! Any particular city or challenge you want to do?

For me, one would involve Paris. Such history and many markers ready to be used as part of a challenge.

That said, are you a fan of The Amazing Race? I've thought about applying as a contestant.
