Challenge: Caught in the Act
You are a spy. While out one day on a normal mission, you suddenly hear someone coming! You’ve been caught… or have you?
Challenge: Your team is to create a 2 minute performance about a spy getting caught in the act. The team must describe the mission the spy is trying to accomplish. They must also incorporate creative sound effects and create spy gadgets, gizmos and more to add to their story. During their performance, the team will roll a die. If the number is even, the spy gets away, if the number is odd, the spy gets caught.
Time: 22 minutes plus time to collect materials
Part One: 20 minutes
The team will have 20 minutes to plan out the story, come up with possible endings, create sound effects, build a spy gadget, and build costumes, props, or set pieces.
