Curses

The seekers must acquire an kinder-egg before asking another question. This kinder-egg is now treated as an official team member of the seekers. If any team members are abandoned or killed (defined as any crack, in the kinder-egg's case) before the end of your run, you are awarded an extra S 30 M 45 L 60 minutes. This curse cannot be played during the endgame.

Take a photo of a car. The seekers must take a photo of a more expensive car before asking another question.

Choose three questions in different categories. The seekers cannot ask those questions for the rest of the run.

The seekers must ask their next question from under a bridge.

The seekers must acquire and carry at least 2 liters of liquid per seeker for the rest of the run. They cannot ask another question until they have acquired the liquid. The water may be distributed between seekers as they see fit. If the liquid is lost or abandoned at any point after acquisition, the hider is awarded a S 30 M 30 L 60 minute bonus.

Take a photo of a wild fish, bird, mammal, reptile, amphibian, or bug(snail/slug count). The seekers must take a picture of a wild animal in the same category before asking another question.

For the next S 0.5 M 1 L 3 hours, whenever the seekers want to pass through a doorway into a building, business, train, or other vehicle, they must first roll 2 dice. If they do not roll a 7 or higher, they cannot enter that space (including through other doorways.) Any given doorway can be re-attempted after S 5 M 10 L 15 minutes

For the rest of your run, one random category of questions will be disabled at all times. After this curse is played seekers must roll a die to determine the category of questions to be disabled. This category remains disabled until the next question is asked, at which point a die is rolled again to choose a new category. The same category can be disabled multiple times in a row

You have one chance to film a bird for as long as possible, up to S 5 M 10 L 15 minute straight. If, at any point, the bird leaves the frame, your timer is stopped. The seekers must then film a bird for the same amount of time or longer before asking another question.

Send the seekers an unzoomed Google Street View image from a street within 500 feet / 150 meters of where they are now. The shot has to be parallel to the horizon and include at least one human-built structure other than a road. Without using the internet for research, they must find what you sent them in real life before they can use transportation or ask another question. They must send a picture to the hider for verification

The next question that the seekers ask must be composed of words and letters cut out of any printed material. The question must be coherent and include at least 5 words.

Choose any publicly-accessible place within S 0.25 M 0.25 L 0.5 miles / S 0.5 M 0.5 L 1 km of the seekers' current location. They cannot currently be on transit. They must go there, and spend at least S 5 M 5 L 10 minutes there, before asking another question. They must send you at least three photos of them enjoying their vacation, and procure an object to bring you as a souvenir. If this souvenir is lost before they can give it to you, you are awarded an extra S 30 M 45 L 60 minutes.

Seekers must enter and gain admission (if applicable) to a location or buy a product that they saw an advertisement for before asking another question. This advertisement must be found out in the world, not on a seeker's device, and must be at least 100 feet / 30 meters from the product or location itself.

The seekers must disembark their current mode of transportation at the next station (as long as that station is serviced by another form of transit in the next S 0.5 M 0.5 L 1 hours.)

You have one attempt to stack as many rocks on top of each other as you can in a freestanding tower. Each rock may only touch one other rock. Once you have added a rock to the tower, it may not be removed. Before adding another rock, the tower must stand for at least five seconds. If at any point, any rock other than the base rock touches the ground, your tower has fallen. Once your tower falls, tell the seekers how many rocks high your tower was when it last stood for five seconds. The seekers must then construct a rock tower of the same number of rocks, under the same parameters, before asking another question. If their tower falls, they must restart. The rocks must be found in nature, and both teams must disperse the rocks after building.

Find a restaurant within your zone that explicitly serves food from a specific foreign country. The seekers must visit a restaurant serving food from a country that is an equal or greater distance away before asking another question.

Before asking another question, the seekers must each find a lemon(-shaped fruit) and affix it to the outermost layer of their clothes or skin. If, at any point, one of these lemons is no longer touching a seeker, you are awarded an extra S 30 M 45 L 60 minutes. This curse cannot be played during the endgame.

For the next S 20 M 40 L 60 minutes, seekers must roll a die before they take any steps in any direction. They may take that many steps before rolling again.

Before asking another question or boarding another form of transportation, seekers must beat the hider in a game of hangman. To play the hider chooses a 5 letter word and the game ends after either a correct word guess or 7 wrong letter guesses (head, body, two arms, two legs, and a hat). The hider must respond to all queries within 30 seconds. The seekers cannot challenge the hider for 10 minutes after a loss. After S 1 M 2 L 3 losses, the seekers must wait 10 more minutes and then the curse is cleared.

Seekers must roll a die at least 100 feet / 30 meters and have it land on a 5 or a 6 before they can ask another question. The die must roll the full distance, unaided, using only the momentum from the initial throw and gravity to travel the 100 feet / 30 meters. If the seekers accidentally hit someone with a die, you are awarded a S 10 M 20 L 30 minutes bonus

For the next S 20 M 40 L 60 minutes, the seekers can only turn right at any street intersection. If, at any point, they find themselves in a dead end where they cannot continue forward or turn right for another 1000 feet / 300 meters, they may do a full 180. A right turn is defined as a road at any angle that veers to the right of the seekers.

For the rest of your run, seekers cannot ask questions when they are on transit or in a transit station.

For the next three questions, you may draw (not keep) an additional card when drawing from the hider deck.

Spend up to S 10 M 20 L 30 minutes drawing a solvable maze and send a photo of it to the seekers. You cannot use the internet to research maze designs. The seekers must solve the maze before asking another question.
