Games - Virus Attack

Viral Attack!

From http://youthgroupgames.com.au/games/505/molecule/ & using tasks from various '20 things in 20 minutes' etc.

Premise:

There is an underground criminal organisation who are plotting a chemical attack to release a virus which will turn everyone into sheep and allow them to take over the world!  Our only chance of survival is to find and make the antidote.

The problem is the person who has made the antidote is the Mad Scientist, and she is hiding it. 
You may visit the Mad Scientist more than once but only one patrol member can see the antidote at a time, and only for 20 seconds at a time.

Your mission is to visit various scientists to get the various atoms which you will use to replicate the antidote exactly.  You get atoms by completing challenges with each scientist.

Each scientist will give you a task to complete before they can help you and you will have to visit them more than once.  Your patrol must stick together and the whole team must complete the task before your team receives their atom.


Be quick – you must assemble the antidote before the virus is released! 

Time: Roughly 2 hours including eating and clear up


Number: Any number of patrols

Roles

• Mad Scientist (holds the virus antidote)
• Other scientists (hold several challenges, each, and the 'prize' atom for each challenge)

Equipment: 

Tea bags, balloons, book, pens, paper, scissors, sellotape, satsumas, ball, sweets, cocktail sticks, names of all the Queens of Scotland, container for each patrol to put sweets collected in.


We used Sainsburys 3 for £1 sweets and bought a selection.  

• Midget Gems, 
• Jelly Beans, 
• White marshmallows, 
• cola bottles, 
• fizzy straws, 
• strawberry laces, 
• fizzy fang, 
• gummy lips, 
• gummy teeth, 
• ice cream cone, 
• dolly mixture, 
• pink marshmallow, 
• cola lace, 
• foam shrimp, 

How It Works

Leaders create the antidote by sticking sweets together using cocktail sticks to look like a chemical structure.   The Mad Scientist keeps the antidote hidden.

The rest of the sweets are for the patrols to earn while doing the challenges.  Leaders/Scientists keep these hidden.

There are 41 challenges divided between the leaders/scientists, each challenge earns a different sweet.

Girls visit leaders in turn to do the tasks and earn sweets towards their antidote.  They don't know what they earn until after they had completed the task so some patrols ended up with more/less of a type of sweet than was needed for the antidote.

Once the girls had gained what they thought were the right sweets then they had to put them together correctly – we did confiscate one phone from a clever guide who thought 'photographic memory' was take a photo of what it's meant to look like! We just gave out the cocktail sticks but you could make it harder and make them earn them too.

Girls may have to do some challenges multiple times based on what sweet are in the antidote.

Girls must finish 10 minutes before the end of the meeting – when the virus is released. If they have accurately made the antidote they are safe. If the antidote was only part assembled then the virus takes over, they are unable to speak and have to 'baa' for the rest of Guides.
