The brief Read aloud by the marshal
Pat doesn’t just travel. Pat goes worldwide.
He’s left a trail of incidents across the globe — the kind of stories that get retold at every wedding, forever.
Inside your envelope: laminated story tiles and laminated city + country tiles. Lay each city next to the story it belongs to. One to one. No leftovers.
When the board’s set, snap one clear photo and text it to Matthew — 0425 497 690. He’ll reply with your points. Most correct takes the crown. Dale.

Field rules Matthew has the key
One story → one city. No tile gets used twice.
No writing — lay each city tile directly next to its story.
Disagree as a team? Vote it out. Dale moves us forward.
Phones stay away until the final photo — no Googling, Maps, or stalking Pat’s Instagram.
No conferring with other teams. This is your world tour.
Matthew’s answer key is final. No reviewing the tape.
Photo must reach Matthew (0425 497 690) before the buzzer — and he has to be able to read it.
