HERE’S HOW:

Collect Passport Stamps (10 points each) 

  • On your map is a list of special locations in town. Go to a location and tell the proprietor: “Take me to your leader!” They will stamp your passport on the back of the map! 
Galactic Crossword Puzzle (5 points per answer - 100 point bonus if you complete the puzzle!)
  • At each location you will find an Area 29 UFO Card. Look for a QR code on the back. That will take you to a clue for the crossword! 
Bonus Activities! (30 points or more!) 
    • Some of the location QR codes are prompts for fun activities for you to capture, post to Instagram (and other social media), and tag @area29palms on Instagram 

SUBMIT YOUR POINTS by SUNDAY 8/11/2024 at 4:59PM to qualify for the prizes! Winners will be announced as soon as possible! 


HOW TO SUBMIT: Any time before 4:59pm on Sunday 8/11/2024, take a photo of the back of your map showing how many passport stamps and crossword answers you collected, then message it to @Area29Palms on Instagram! Also be sure to mention any bonus activities you completed! Include your phone number. We will message you once winners have been announced!
