Interested In playing as a team?  

Teams are a great way for friends to have fun together and for those that work together to have a fun team building activity.  Pairs and small groups can play together - everyone just needs to buy an ticket, and on game day get started together.  

If you are planning for a group and need help organizing:

Captains: purchase a ticket, and then email us the name your team. It could be the name of your company, something Bostonian, something humorous, anything you want, as long as it doesn't contain something inappropriate.  Within 24 hours, your team will be set up ( you will get a confirmation email from us), and you can instruct teammates to go to the registration page and purchase an "Individual" ticket.  There they will indicate "yes" to playing on a team, and select your team name from the drop down menu.

FAQs

Can I play on my own?  Absolutely. Just buy an individual ticket.

If I want to spend the day with friends, but not compete as a group, can I do that?  Of course.  You just need to all buy individual tickets. 

Can I join a team later after buying a ticket? Can we form a team after buying tickets?  Absolutely. Small groups can play together without formally organizing a team.  If you need help organizing, let us know the name of your group or team and we can help you keep track of sign ups.  

How many grand prizes are there? There is one grand prize.  It will be awarded to the individual or team with the most points.  Regardless of if an individual wins, a 2 person pair wins, a 3 person group wins, or a 10 person team wins, its the same prize.  We have tiebreakers ready to go.  Playing as a group doesn't mean you will have better odds, but it could mean you'll have more fun.

How do you decide who wins the Instagram challenges?  Our Board members will be watching throughout the day, and will share their opinion with our director of social media.  Photos will be judged on creativity, how great of a shot you capture, and accuracy of location. 

How old do I need to be to play?  BostonYPA is a community for those ages 21-40.  However we understand this event may attract students younger than our typical age group.  You must be 18 or older to play.
