1. Entry
The minimum age for entry is 18 years of age on the day of the Event.
The Charity asks that you let the Charity know as soon as possible if you need or want to withdraw from the Event for any reason.
Due to the nature of the puzzles, teams with less than six players will have their experience significantly impacted so your attendance is crucial to your teammates.
Entry places in the Event are tailored to participants and you may not transfer your place to anyone else who has not registered, as it may cause problems of identification in the event for example, if medical assistance is required during the Event.
By registering for an Event you agree to comply with these Player Terms & Conditions – and the Event Rules issued by the Organisers before and at the Event.
The Charity is committed to making Midnight Madness as inclusive as possible. If you require any adjustments or have specific accessibility needs, please contact the Charityin advance. Unfortunately, the Event courses are unsuitable for wheelchair or mobility scooters so wheelchair users and mobility scooter users are highly unlikely to be able to take part in the Event. The health and safety of participants is very important to the Charity and we cannot guarantee that each type of wheelchair and mobility scooter will be able to manoeuvre the route.
