Capture the Spy  ~  The Search for Patriot Silver!
 
Sponsored by NNJC and the 2022 Metro Gathering - American Revolution Spies MEGA event.

During the Revolutionary war both British and Americans had spies. This 
espionage helped secretly gain information for both sides. Many of these brave patriots risked being discovered to aide General George Washington and liberty. 

Your mission is to locate the British Flag depicting famous Spy John Andre.

The NNJC Patriots have uncovered a list of these secret stashes! Finding a British Spy/flag allows you the opportunity to acquire via pre-sale a limited edition Liberty Bell Silver Geocoin with a Red Spy!
 
This game is designed to pay for itself.  If we accomplish this goal, we’ll be able to sponsor additional fun games and adventures.
 
By finding a British flag shaped pathtag, you agree to pre purchase a beautiful limited edition Silver Geocoin for only $11.00.  Only 50 British Flag Pathtags will be hidden before the 2022 Metro Gathering - American Revolution Spies Mega event.  Finding the Pathtag and pre-purchasing the Limited edition Geocoin is the only way to obtain one of the 50 Limited Silver Geocoins at this discounted price! 
  

HOW TO PLAY "CAPTURE THE SPY
 
Under this metrogathering.org Capture the Spy tab, we will post Locations on the interactive map below with coordinates, some with pictures or other types of clues to where the secret British Spy stashes are located. Some clues may be easy, some may be difficult, some may have field clues that need to be followed.  Who knows what types of adventures are waiting for you!
 
At each secret location will be a numbered British Spy Pathtag which is yours keep.  Finding it, will GUARANTEE you the ability to pre-purchase one of the 50 limited edition Silver Liberty Bell with Red Spy Geocoins at a discounted price of $11.00. 
 
Similar to the Mega Event's Golden Ticket contest, the clues and coordinates will show up on the metrogathering.org website. The BIG difference…no puzzles to figure out.  The challenge is simple, be the first person to Capture the Spy and you are a winner!! 
A fun twist on the excitement of searching for a FTF.

 
Please DO NOT SEARCH for the British Spy Pathtags if you are not willing to pre-purchase the Limited Geocoin for $11.00. As you might recall, we are a not-for-profit and these funds will be used to generate more Mega Event games and contests.

WHAT TO DO AFTER I FIND THE CAPTURE THE SPY PATHTAG? 
 
You must immediately send a picture and confirmation into tickets@nnjc.org where we will post the winners pictures. Your numbered British Spy Pathtag will be recorded as found so others know it is no longer available.
