The Lost ChallengesDon't Miss Your Plane
Duration: 7/1/2022 - Til Done!
Progress: 0 out of
Vacation time and you want to see all of New York City's attractions. Be quick about it or you will miss your plane back home.
You will need one six-sided dice to play.
https://www.random.org/dice/?num=1
Move around the city by rolling the dice and completing the reading task for each space you land on. Beware, along the way there will be distractions from your mission. Make sure you are not late or your plane will leave without you. If you get stuck use a lifeline. You don't have to be exact. If you are on 72 and you throw a 6 you have finished. To start you may choose to do number 1 and then roll a die or just start the game off by rolling a die. Your choice.
