Hi Space Traveller
Long time no hear from !
I like the human boxes !
They are in effect the UK travellers !
A great idea at an event I hope it works well !
You could have bonus stamps carried alongside your travellers if certain
"correct questions" are asked..or some link betwen the stamps or
travellers is identified...eg all have a red hat on (too easy) or say
there are notes (musical) on the stamps which in sequence are the opening
of a well known song .. The first to guess it (sing it) wins a special
prize even ! (tough!)
