Hidden Bars - February Mini Challenge
This is an optional mini challenge for our UNO players.
Hidden bars don't have a sign—you just have to know about it.
Come with your UNO mods... let's head down Caitiff Lane until we reach a brick wall with a villanous face. Step to your left and you'll see there is a cavity behind that brick wall with a large gate. It looks locked, but push through and then head down the stairs.....
Find your way to the hidden bar
Read up to 5 books from each of the following categories:
- Have a direction in the title (e.g. up, down, east, west etc.)
- Have an author's first name or surname starting with F, I, N or D
- Have a black (>50%) cover
- Have black writing on the cover (and no other text with a different colour)
Take a seat, enjoy your stay
Read up to 5 books for each of the following categories. Words related to them must be found either in text or title:
- Spirits (e.g., vodka, rum, gin, whiskey, tequila)
- Mixers (e.g., soda water, tonic water, fruit juices)
- Fruit (e.g., lemon, lime, cherries)
- Herbs and Spices (e.g., mint leaves, basil, cinnamon sticks)
◈ Every book read is worth 10 points.
◈ Each book can be used for one task only.
◈ If your team reads for all 40 tasks, you get 30 points as bonus.
◈ You do not have to have a unique item for each task (so you can use two different books with lemon in the text for "fruit")
◈ The examples given for words are just examples. Other words that fit the category (e.g. orange for fruit) are fine
◈ Books can be started at any point since the start of the UNO challenge (Feb 1)
◈ Books need to be finished after the start of this mini challenge on Feb 14, 9am UTC (countdown: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...) and before March 1 at 9am UTC (when the March UNO month begins).
◈ Books used for this mini challenge do not need to be separate books from what you are claiming for your UNO hands
◈ The usual book length rules apply
◈ Team spreadsheets will be updated with a mini challenge tab so that you can track your books and claim your points
