Story:
Dear Oxbaz - 22,
I am writing this in the final hours of my life. Our
planet is in a very dark era right now, only a few
of our allies remain. The survival of our race
depends on you. Our ancestors hid the source of our
power away ages ago. They made a map so that in case
of disaster their steps could be retraced. The map
is tucked away on the far off planet Earth, where
the ancestors presumed it would go unnoticed. The
Earthlings call our map Stonehenge. Our enemy has
gained knowledge of this map. You must prevent the
enemy from finding our power source. Your mission:
Relocate the ancestors? map. The Mother Ship and two
mission vessels await your departure. Go to Earth,
load every piece of the map onto the ships and you
will succeed. The enemy will be close behind you.
Your first mission ship must leave Earth after 3
minutes as a distraction. Your second mission ship
must leave after 3 more minutes to aid the first.
Finally you must leave after 3 additional minutes with the
mother ship in order to save yourself and your crew.
Remember, the enemy cannot find our power source, if
you cannot succeed, at least destroy the map by
knocking over its pieces. Good luck, I will always
be with you.
Love,
Dad
Description:
All
blocks will start inside the middle circle. The
spaceships will be approximately 1 inch from the
outside of the ships. There are no guard rails so be
careful. This course has a time limit. There are 15
wood blocks. One of the top blocks furthest from any
spaceship will be a "magic" block. For each of these
blocks that is knocked down the team will receive 20
pts.
There are three spaceships that leave at different
times. The objective is to load as many stones into
the ships before they take off. Each block/stone
loaded is worth 30 pts, except the magic block which
is worth 180 pts.
Each spaceship is labeled 1,2,and 3. The ship
labeled 3 is the mother ship. Ship #1 will "take
off" at 3 minutes after the start. At this point no more blocks pushed into
the ship will score. At 6 minutes after the start ship 2 will take off and
it too will be unable to score at this point. Ship 3
will be the last to leave 9 minutes after the start. You will have
10 minutes (1 minute after spaceship 3 leaves) to play
your song before the game ends.
