  • Creativity Bonus: Returning this year, by popular demand, we have designed a way to reward those teams that go the extra mile with their submissions. Following the close of the game, an independent committee will review all submissions for the missions “America 250,” “Cover Story,” and “Love Story.” Judging the submissions on creativity and style, the committee will determine the 1st place winner for each of those missions. The 1st place winners will be awarded 10,000 creativity bonus points. The points will be added to their final score after the game has closed. Winners will be notified via the app.
  • Harmony Garden: This year, earn 1,000 points when you visit the lobby of the Miles Perret Cancer Services office and take a photograph with one of our vinyl records. Personalize the record, letting us know something or someone you are celebrating and we’ll “plant” it outside, around the office. Join us as we watch our garden grow! Note:  On May 30th, the records will be located at the Kickoff (Blackham Coliseum).
  • Kazoo Quest: This mission requires a photo be taken of a jar filled with kazoos. The jar is located in the MPCS lobby; on May 30th it will be located at the Kickoff (Blackham Coliseum). When you submit the photograph, you will be given the opportunity to guess how many Kazoos are in the jar. The team(s) coming closest to the correct number (without going over) will be awarded 10,000 bonus points! Points will be awarded after the close of the game.
  • Mission Masters Bonus: Ever wonder what Mission Masters do all day and night? We watch the submissions around the clock!  Each Mission Master reviews every submission (even the hidden ones) at least once.  We may feel a little “screen-weary,” but we are always entertained.  Since we are in the unique position of seeing all submissions, this year we want to get in on the action.  Each Mission Master (this year there are 2) will award 10,000 bonus points to their favorite submission of the game.  These points will be awarded after the close of the game.  Winners will be notified via the app.  Don’t worry.  Mission Masters do not play the game; we have no vested interest.
  • Parish Mystery Word: In each of the 10 parishes we serve, we have hidden a letter of the alphabet. Visit all 10 parishes, accumulate the letters, and unscramble them to discover the Parish Mystery Word.  A correct response is worth 5,000 bonus points.
  • Sponsor Surprise Days: On certain days throughout the game, Sponsor Surprise missions will appear. These missions are complements of our presenting sponsors and will be worth 2,500 points!  Is there a catch? Yes, Sponsor Surprise missions will be available for a limited time only. They will be posted at 8am on the relevant day and MUST be performed by 8pm that night.  At 8pm the mission will expire and no longer be available for play.
  • Venmo for Miles: Have any friends or family (or even social media followers!) who want to help propel your team to victory? Here’s how! Anyone can make a donation of $20 or more via Venmo to @MilesPerretCS, including your team name in the comment section. For every $20 donated, your team will receive a bonus of 10,000 points! To be eligible for bonus points, the Venmo transactions must be completed no later than June 13, 2:00pm.
