ROI: Return on Imagination
A satirical take on childhood and late stage capitalism at the Think Tinker Toast fundraising gala for the North Shore Children's Museum
The North Shore Children's Museum in Peabody, MA is a fairly new museum funded largely by donations. For the adults-only "Think Tinker Toast" fundraising gala this October, Clever Adventure is running a game called "Return on Imagination". It's part scavenger hunt, part Task Master, and part resource management. There will be beverages and hors d'oeuvres and the delicious satisfaction that your money is supporting early childhood development. Tickets are $100 per person: https://checkout.square.site/merchant/MLAV771YSS89K/checkout/WFZS7UN2XZVAG4ISOME7LJBA Optional team pre-registration (plan on having at least 4 people or your team will be merged with other players): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdHy9TI1sNv-IDq3bnip-Qwc0Bm3iD75s6Nh2v0eXyI9av74Q/viewform?pli=1 Sponsorship opportunities: https://www.nschildrensmuseum.org/grownupsgala/ People interested in volunteering need a tablet, preferably an iPad, and should email jamescobalt@cleveradventure.com.
