Getting out of the house is often precluded by inclement weather, car trouble, and the tender bond between man and household dust mite. Step outside your domestic comfort zone with today's Groupon: for $45, you get entry for two people in the San Diego CityScape Adventure Race, held Saturday, September 10, at 11 a.m. (a $108.14 value, including an $8.14 processing fee).
CityScape Adventures entangle race participants in a web of 12 puzzles and challenges in a citywide race to the finish line. Participants compete in teams of two, using their wits, teamwork, and underground network of mutant-turtle spies to complete the tasks given at the start of the race. Participants must bring a selection of items including a digital camera, pen or pencil, $10 each in singles for public transportation or emergency slushies, and comfortable shoes. The first team to successfully complete all tasks and vault the finish line will receive a prize and assembly line of high-fives.
Check-in for the five-hour race begins at 11 a.m. at Whiskey Girl on 5th Avenue; the race begins at noon and commences come rain, shine, or meteor shower. CityScape Adventures welcomes teams of friends and family members, although each team must have at least one adult, and children under 12 are not allowed to compete.
Groupon Says
Groupon Guide to: Elevator Etiquette
As more and more Americans develop allergic reactions to intimacy, you may find yourself infectiously close to others when forced to share an elevator. The next time you’re riding a steel disease trap with others, follow these tips to navigate the unpleasant vertical voyage with poise and style:
- First things first, press all the buttons to make sure everyone gets to their floor.
- Break the ice with a joke about who you would eat first if the elevator got stuck forever.
- If no one in the elevator feels like talking, why not talk with the person on the other end of that phone behind the glass?
- Just like the Internet, elevators also have like buttons. Push the red one with the helmet on it if you like firemen.
- Impress potential romance partners with your vast knowledge of grisly, historical elevator accidents.
- Promise you'll write your new friends after the journey by intuiting their addresses using a long, unbroken stare.
