What's Involved

Backpackers depart from London and travel to a number of the glamorous destinations on our world map. Each team is given a pack containing an introduction to the game and how it works, a travel timetable, passport, SOS vouchers and US Dollars. A standard game lasts for 80 minutes, with each minute representing a day in the life of a modern backpacker. Teams nominate roles for their members including a team leader and a runner who, sporting their backpack, communicates their team's decisions to an Adjudicator. Effective teamwork is vital in this game to maximise point scoring and achieve a winning team performance.
