Pixie Dust Summer Dashing

Sometimes Third Gate Games events seem to control the weather. If that’s the case, spending a late August evening at Disneyland—where the concrete still radiated roughly 100° at 7 PM—was certainly an interesting experience. Two-person teams met at the Picnic Area at 7:30 p.m. for our third west coast Pixie Dust Dash event that ran from 8 to 11 p.m.

Teams once again faced a set of 15 challenges and 5 eye spy photos as they raced against the clock. The team selfie challenges including recreating a Photo Spot picture, not looking too scared while posing with an Imperial Probe, and posing with a pirate (arrr!). Most teams were able to identify the special molecule, H2ONNY, that is found in a bottle filling station in Bayou Country. 

The challenge that more teams had trouble locating was the trinket cubby where you might “Give a little whistle.”
This display window is located at the exit of the Pinocchio attraction and appears to be where Jiminy Cricket lives. His clothes are on a tiny chair in front of a display of whistles. The one on the bottom left is an Acme Thunderer, which was invented in the 19th century for use by the British police.

Answers to this Dash’s challenges can be seen below. Full results can be found here, and a full set of the team challenge photos are located in the event’s photo album

This event was the first to use the updated app that we tested out during the recent Monkey Business test. Let us know your thoughts on the game in the comments.
