Life On Mars

I think the most important thing for the treasure hunts is going to be maximizing attendance. When we involve more people we get more money from entrance fees, we get the word out more for future hunts, and we minimize the chance that one person quitting will put an entire team out of commision (see: Hufflepuff, Holbrook).

I think it will be good for this whole venture if we can expand the scope beyond this immediate ciricle of people. Or, maybe we don't want to make it a public deal. Perhaps it shoud be kept a private venture, just between friends. But even if we do that, it would be best to get our attendence closer to that of the first hunt, rather than the second. I realize not everyone is cut out to do treasure hunts, but surely there must be untapped sources of participants.

If attendance ever leads to teams getting too large (more than 5-6 people) we can always expand the number of teams.

And I'm excited for the Stevenson/Houle hunt. Should be very intellectual. We'll see if Josh Mattson can live up to his rather glowing self-assesment of his treasure hunting capabilities. That said, I want him on my team.
