Geocache Description:

Let's play some games!

  • Roll a single die, but you better hope to roll odd numbers four times to win the trip. Rolling even numbers four times wins nothing.
  • You can win any or all of three prizes, of which the most expensive is sometimes a car. After being shown the three prizes behind each curtain, you are asked to press three of six buttons on a control panel. However, three buttons close one of the three curtains (which eliminates the prize), and the other three have no effect. After pressing the buttons, you can either take the prizes still remaining, or press one of two additional buttons revealed for a 50/50 chance at either opening all three curtains again and winning a cash bonus, or losing everything.
  • Choosing four of seven envelopes, each containing $1 and $2 bills, whose contents they hoped added up to at least $7 for a grand prize. At various points, I will stop and offer a buy-out.
  • You and another contestant select one of three boxes which contains a rock, a pair of scissors and some paper. Using standard roshambo rules, the winner gets $1,000 and the loser receives $100. The winner can continue and win a car (giving up the $1,000 you or the other contestant won) by selecting what item has the word "CAR" hidden on a card. The other two contain $100. If that is selected, you both win the consolation prize ($100).
  • You and another contestant compete for a car. The game is divided into two parts. In the first part, you both wrote down what you believe the price of the car in secret. The contestant that is closest, high or low will win four picks in the second part. The other contestant wins three picks. In the second part, you take turns on choosing one of the eight boxes. One of the boxes say "CAR" the rest contain the word "NO." If you both get "NO" boxes, you are offered a sure thing which increases per round. It is possible that you both can win nothing. The game will end if either both of you have used up your picks, get bailed out, or the first contestant to find the word "CAR."
  • You are given a check. You can choose four colors to fill in the check. Once you lock in the colors, the numbers are revealed one at a time. Before the last two numbers are revealed, I will offer you a deal to give up the check for a prize hidden behind a curtain.
  • This game is played with a couple. When your couple is shown two prizes, you two must separately choose what prize they want (or what you think your partner wants). If you guys match, you win that prize, otherwise you win neither prize. Repeat the process with two different prizes. After two rounds, you can risk what you two have won for an unknown.
  • Decide whether an egg given to you was raw or hard boiled and choose a cash amount or box/curtain as a substitute.
  • You play for a car. You are shown 8 boxes, each of which conceal a colored die; either a red 4, a green 5, a blue 6, or a yellow Zonk. If two red 4's are found, the you are awarded $400. Two blue 5's, $500. Two red 6's, $600. When a pair of numbered dice is found, the you are offered the opportunity to take any cash won, or keep going, knowing that if both Zonk dice are uncovered, you lose everything; however, if all numbered dice are found, the car is won along with the accumulated cash.
  • Various items representing cash are placed along a map of the United States. There are also multiplier items that multiply the cash chosen. You first chooses a cash item on the map, followed by a multiplier item. You can either take the multiplied cash or a sure thing in the envelope.
