Each team will receive cardboard boxes and duct tape at the event. Plus, teams will be able to select one additional item from an "extra-item table" such as a rope, a tarp, a blanket, or scissors, for example.
The teams will have one hour (9-10 am) to build their cardboard houses, which must be big enough for one person to lie in.
