Overview
The Nicosia Street Quest returns on September 25, with prizes for the winning teams, and loads of fun exploring the city’s old town in search of the answers to the clues.
WHERE: Registration, start and finish at Centre of Visual Arts and Research (CVAR), Ermou Street, Old Nicosia.
WHEN: Between 18:45 and 21:15.
WHAT TO BRING: A pen to write down your answers and €2 entry fee. A small torch.
Start times will be available any time between 19:00 and 20:00. The course closes at 21:15. Entry fees are €2 per person. Maps and question sheets will be provided at the start.
Your “Quest” is to navigate to up to 20 location points on the map of Nicosia (within the city walls) and answer a simple, non-cryptic question at each location (eg – what is the colour of the door at number 18? How many mannequins in the shop window?). Each question is worth either 10, 20 or 30 points. There also will be a BONUS Question worth 50 points. The time allowed is 60 minutes. There will be 5 penalty points for every minute late back. So make sure you are back within an hour from your start time!
You will need a pen to mark your answers on the question sheet. You are advised to wear comfortable walking/running shoes and light coloured clothing (ideally reflective) for extra visibility. A small torch may be useful to assist your eyesight when reading the map. Electronic timing will be used. Individuals and teams of up to four people will be permitted. Points will be shared equally among team members. Children under twelve must be accompanied by an adult. All participants take part at their own risk. The organiser’s decisions are final. For more information please check out our Facebook page or call 99413479.
We are very grateful to CVAR for permission to use their premises.
