July 2023 - December 2024
This challenge is borrowed with permission from The Lost Challenges group. I’ve tweaked it a bit to make it our own adventure.
Jump to the list of participants.
You will need one six-sided die or a number generator (set to 1-6) to play.
Your library book is due today but the library is across town and closing early tonight.
Move through town by rolling the die and completing the reading tasks for each space you land on. Beware! Along the way, there will be distractions from your mission. Get your book back to the library on time!
Duration: 18 months from start date
Note: When signing up, reserve 10-15 spots to have room to track your progress.
RULES
Start on the START HERE space, roll the die, and move forward that number of spaces.
You must complete the task for that space BEFORE rolling again.
If you land on a GO BACK space and get sent back to a task you have already done, you must do that task again using a different book.
FORFEITS: Some spaces will give you an option of going back OR doing a forfeit. If you choose the forfeit, stay on the space you are on and roll the die once. The number you roll is the number of the forfeit you must do. Read a book to complete your forfeit task before rolling again and continuing the game. The 6 forfeit categories are listed in message #3.
If you land on a space that requires you to GO HOME, you must return to the beginning and start over.
You do not need to land on THE LIBRARY by exact number to finish. (i.e if you are on 98 and roll a 5, you are done; you don't need to back track or roll until you get a 2)
After each move, as well as updating your original post, please post a new message with the following information.
Roll # (i.e first roll, second roll, third roll etc)
Start Space
Number Rolled
Space Landed On
A link to the book you read for the task, the date you finished it, the cover if the task relates to it, and a brief explanation of how the book fits the task.
