Maungaraki Scouts Mystery Car Run

Christine from Maungaraki

Looking for a great weekend activity?

Maungaraki Richmond Scouts are holding a Mystery Car Run on Sunday 7 April, starting from Benedicts Cafe, Maungaraki Shops, Dowse Drive, Maungaraki at 11:00 am
Benedicts will be open from 8:30am, serving coffee and breakfast.

How does it work?
Register your vehicle - any type car, van, truck, bus, motorcycle; any number of passengers - at Benedicts Cafe between 10 and 11am and receive instructions and a list of questions/puzzles to solve that will eventually lead you to the Secret Destination.
Rally is anticipated to take 1.5 to 2 hours.

Great prizes!
Once you've found the Secret Destination, enjoy some refreshments at our sausage sizzle and bake sale (cash only, no eftpos). After all or most participants have arrived, prizes will be awarded to winners in several categories, not just the first to reach the final destination.

Maungaraki Richmond group are aiming to send 20 scouts to Jamboree in December, which means a lot of fundraising. So challenge your friends to an amusing race and come along on Sunday 7 April for a great time, great food, fun prizes… and to help our scouts go to Jamboree.
