NavDash: NWA – A Real-World Driving Challenge
Think of it as a mix of a road rally and a logistical strategy game where you decide your route in real-time to score the most points.
Entry Fee: $15 Per Vehicle ($19.12 total)
What is a NavDash?
NavDash is an interactive adventure that transforms the region into a game of strategy. Participants locate 50+ hidden checkpoints spread within a 40-mile radius, plan efficient routes in real-time, and compete for a spot on the leaderboard.
The Objective: Collect the most points in exactly 1.5 hours. Points increase the further a location is from the starting point, so strategic planning is essential!
Event Rules & Guidelines
- Verification: You must take a selfie at every checkpoint (include everyone in your vehicle). These are shared live to build a social connection between players!
- Safety First: You must follow all traffic laws and speed limits. Victory is earned through smart routing and logistics, not speed.
- Connectivity: The WayHopper app requires a stable connection. If you encounter poor signal, skipping that location is advised. You can also use local Wi-Fi if available.
- Tech Troubleshooting: If your GPS drifts, cycle Airplane Mode On/Off and restart the app to reset your signal.
- Pro Tips:
- Bring a backup battery source for your phone.
- A co-driver is highly recommended to manage navigation while you drive.
- Analyze the point values on the map before you begin to optimize your route.
