VOLUME 1: ETIQUETTE & SAFETY

PLAY SAFE, PLAY FAIR, PLAY EPIC

This is a live-action, life-size board game, a real trivia pursuit adventure, not a road race. The entire route is a hot set—dangerous behavior (excessive speeding, aggressive driving, tampering with vehicles, or physical altercations) will get you booted instantly. Production reserves the right to adapt rules for safety or fairness—their word is final.

⚡  Cheeky Serious Reminder: If you wouldn’t do it in front of police, don’t do it here. And yes, actual cops are involved in this event-game.

🕵️ SOLVING MISSIONS: PLAY CLEVER, NOT DIRTY

Need help cracking a clue? Use the internet, social media, or even your Aunt Martha’s trivia skills—but no shortcuts.



Contacting destination offices, area civic organizations, sponsors, or anyone "official" is cheating. Get caught? Goodbye to all points for the day.

🗨️ REPUTATIONS RIDE WITH YOU

• You’re not just a contestant—you’re a leader, a brand, and a face of Fireball Run. Host towns roll out the red carpet; return the favor with professionalism and respect. One warning for poor conduct. One strike for stupidity. Then? You’re out—no refunds, no second chances.
  

🎲 LUCK, CHAOS, AND THE THRILL OF THE UNKNOWN

Fireball Run is a high-stakes game of chance. Traffic, weather, or a rogue gps might wreck your strategy (true story). Points could swing on a whim—but that’s the adrenaline rush! Embrace the chaos, laugh at the absurd, and remember: The wildest stories come from the worst luck.

⚡ Pro Tip: Seriously, bring an infallible printed atlas, not an app. 

👁️‍🗨️ BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING (AND JUDGING)

The loaner GPS tracker provided by us is your lifeline—and our proof you’re playing fair. These devices are human monitored every day of the event.

🤯 THE NEWBEE PSYCHOSIS EFFECT

Our game is designed to immerse you in an emotional odyssey. A scavenger hunt and Amazing Race this is not. Fireball Run is a sharp strategy challenge that swings from exhilaration to exhaustion on a whim. Created by leaders, for leaders. Here, victory demands more brain power than horse power. Fireball Run is an addiction.

VOLUME 2: game rules

RULES NOT FOR YOU? THINK AGAIN.

We are not kidding. Fireball Run was conceptualized, prototyped, and played as a board game before it was scaled to the size of America. Pawns, trivia, mission clues, pawns, and those dastardly highway cards... all in small so you can go big.

⚡ Pro Tip: Imagine jumping into a game of Monopoly having never read the rules—against experienced players, Sound aggravating right?

So approach Fireball Run as you would any board game. This means read the rules and know how to play because it gets ugly—real ugly for those that don't.

🎯 SCORING: ONE IN, ALL IN

The scoring zone is sacred ground. Violate the holy rules below at your frustration, tantrum, and peril, Only one device may be used at scoring, meaning you are allowed a single mobile device at scoring. So ensure all mission completion evidence is on that one device.   

⚡ Pro Tip: Organize all Mission Complete evidence and photos on the road, because the finish line is no place for existential crisis.

🏁 Enter Score Zone (less tense than Twilight Zone)

 🃏 HIGHWAY CARDS: CHAOS IS YOUR WEAPON

Random packed in some Missions, Highway Card are a secret weapon—they may boost scores, sabotage rivals, or trigger wild game twists.

Use strategically (each is unique), hoard for mind games, or trade "Wild" versions for high-risk rewards. One draw could save your game—or burn another's to the ground. Cards are valid only on the day received.

⚡ Pro Tip: Flat Tire’ card? Wait for the leader to pass you… then strike.



💘 DO GOOD, SCORE BETTER

As part of our Extra-Mile program, Fireball Run supports one children’s charity in each host city. You'll be asked to donate needed items—never cash. Together, we aim to leave every place better than we found it.

⚡ Pro Tip: Search ahead, confirm availability, then pick up at a host destination local store.

💥 HOW TO LOSE POINTS SPECTACULARLY

The art of self destruction. Below are the official ways to rack up penalties and torch your own lovely score,

⚡ Pro Tip: Maintain your cool and don't act a fool.

⚔️ TEMPORARY TRUCES, PERMANENT REGRETS

Build an alliance, collaborate with others, but play your own game. Although the game is random for you, we know everyplace your expected and the task assigned. So don't waltz into scoring with anything but the mission handed to you or poof— no points for you! 

⚡ Pro Tip: Team up, share intel, or combine forces—but know this...

 🏆 SCORES, SCORING, AND SCOREKEEPERS

Your position in the daily scoring line sets your base score—40 teams means 40 points for 1st, 39 for 2nd, and so on. Then we add any mission, bonus, and motoring experience points.

Penalties and Highway Cards are last to be added (or subtracted).

VOLUME 3: IT WILL BE THE DEATH OF US

CAN YOU USE IT? SURE NERD.

Yes, you can use AI—we know you’ll be in your cars, and we can’t exactly peek over your dashboards to stop you. But before you cue up your favorite digital co-pilot, fair warning: this year’s mission clues are trickier, twistier, and far more multimedia than ever before.

Fireball Run gamemasters have leveled up too, blending in more riddles, layers, and curveballs to keep you on your toes (and your circuits spinning). So go ahead—bring your AI… but you might just find the human brain is still your best horsepower.

⚡ Pro Tip: Pray you have ample internet, because you're gonna need it.
