ABSTRACT

Sonic operator Jack Hartnett has a controversial hold on his managers-but they’re not complaining about the payback.

It’s 4 A.M. You’re sitting blindfolded in the back of a van trundling into the Missouri wilderness as music from The Phantom of the Opera blares from the cassette deck. After this jarring ride, you find yourself at a camp

site. Your next several hours will be spent in the woods where, with the help of clue sheets and warnings about snakes and bears, you and your teammates will have to find ribbons faster than the opposing team can. But you won’t win unless you return to camp playing kazoos.
