    Add in trying to do them QUICKLY because you know exactly where you need to be -- which is at the very end, right next to the (few if any stairs required) exit.

    Results, we got 'em!

    Are you ready for some results?

    Click the tabs at the bottom to switch between sheets; each division is on its own sheet. There is also a sheet of Basic (Combined) so you can see how, for example, the New teams did against the Returning teams.

    As a reminder, the full event recap article will not be published until after the upcoming Day at the Park event.

    What was the point value for each quest level, eye-spy, and trivia?

    Thank you, Andrew! 14th place. I really enjoyed playing this game. Thanks to the MA crew. You all put on an outstanding event for us.

    Tight competition! We took 4th in the MA Zone by 5 points last time around. I second guessed a bunch of decisions and kicked myself for months after that game. It feels nice to be on the other side this time. I'll enjoy this for at least a day or 2.

    The A through 10 cards were 20 points each. Jacks and Queens were 60 and Kings were 80. I'm not sure about Trivia and EyeSpys but will try to get that answer soon.

    How do we sort it to show what place we finished? It's sorted by team number now.

    First of All...mad props again!!!

    I want to say greatest of congratulations to the winning team. I can't believe it! Two times played, two wins!!! Awesome job Gals and guy!

    Secondly, thanks so much for going with my idea for the start. I liked it a lot and I hope everybody else did.

    Third, great game. I think I prefer different formats but the card idea was SO cool. So many missed opportunities for a hidden quest though! Jokers? Royal Flush? Ace of Spades? !! But, great times. Much appreciated.

    The Disney MountainEars are totally stoked by our 4th place finish! We really loved the format. It was cool having so many puzzles and getting to know if you had something wrong. We finished the A-Q of Bears, Crowns and Rockets then got six or seven of the lower point Stars quests before having to turn them in to get the J, Q and K. We were then able to get the J and Q answers. I really enjoyed travelling all over Disneyland. Kudos the the whole MA staff. That deck of cards is so cool!

    Incidentally, what did the Advanced folks do that was different from Basic?
    Did they have a different deck of cards?
    Different King Quests?

    Trivia was worth 3 each, Eye Spys were worth 5 each.
    Never argue with stupid people. They just drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience.
    I will believe it is a crisis when the people claiming it is a crisis start acting like it is a crisis.

    Any chance on your guys posting the packets after DATP? We couldn't make the Evening shindig, but I would love to keep playing this game!!! Maybe you could scan some of the J and K quests that don't require special pieces?

    Happily ever after

    Ok is this a new quest because I am not seeing a down-arrow. I was looking at the basic combined which is why I didn't even SEE a place column--saw that when I just clicked on the Basic Returning tab but I can't sort it by place. Help!

    They had different instructions -- sometimes more ambiguous. They also went into DCA for Stars while Basic went to DTD.

    I'm having the same problem. Can't sort in FireFox or IE, but I can on my iPhone. Hmmmm. Any thoughts?

    A huge THANK YOU to Alex, AVP, Joe and the rest of the crew. After too many years, we were very happy to be back and playing! This was such a fantastic game and we had an absolute blast. I can't tell you how proud I am of my girls for making it through. I may have had to bribe them with Mickey ice creams and Dole Whips that final hour but they sure were troopers. I can't believe we did as well as we did and we're over the moon with our 2nd place family finish.

    We flew through rockets but Bears pretty much sucked the life out of us. It was just so crowded and trying to keep track of 3 kids in that madness just made my head hurt even more than the quests. For the record, we only temporarily lost Ms. M three times during the game and if you know my middle child...that's not bad. :-)

    We loved the two Q quests we attempted and my 7 yo rocked out the charades. Out of dumb luck (and in an effort to not have my three girls fight over and lose all of our cards), I found a trading card booklet at Walmart last week. It had 4 card sleeves per page so we were able to put all of the same card (A, 2, 3, etc) together which made the eyespys so much easier for us. We also LOVED the variety of the trivia. What the girls knew, I didn't have a clue...and vice a versa. Apparently we've never shown them the Mighty Ducks because they all pointed to that one and said "What is THAT?!?!" lol

    We also had a couple of great "Ah-Ha!" moments. The funniest was for the statues on Main Street. I knew I was missing something obvious with it and as we were crossing back from Tomorrowland I mentioned how we needed to still find that answer. I looked up and saw them and let out an "Oh!" to which each girl one after another let out a gasp as they saw them too. After we got the answer I made sure to commend them on having their first big "Ah-Ha" moment and told them they were officially MouseAdventurers now. The rest of our trip, it became the joke that wouldn't die and we'd have to gasp every time we walked by.

    I do have to ask...where exactly was the eyespy lantern by Splash? We even went back on Monday to look for it and STILL couldn't find it.

    Thank you again, and we can't wait to try again in the fall! Out of curiosity, do you have any idea what month we might be looking at?

    If I recall, it is by the fastpass machines. We only found that one through the "toontown telephone effect" of seeing other people with clipboards hovering and staring.

    I just thought of another shout out...

    THANK you to the crew members at the charade station for going the extra mile with my girls. I had a slight moment of panic when I realized I would be sending two of my girls over to the island on their own. A crew member offered to escort them over and when they were done, they radioed back to where we were on land to let us know that they were taking them back to the raft and to wait for them there. I really appreciated you guys watching out for them!

    It's hanging off the fastpass distribution/return time sign.
