Can we download and use the app ahead of time?
Yes. You can
now download the Cyburban app from the Google Play Store and the Apple App
Store and try out the interface. We have a couple of free and open modules that
you can tinker with just to get the feel of the game. You can even get an
opportunity to play and fully experience it when you join a different event
that uses Cyburban.

Despite having registered just 1
phone for your team, all 3 members can use their smartphone together since they
are working as 1 team.

Can we track our status in the race?
Trust us –
it’s much more exhilarating if you are on race mode during your run. Moreover,
your location can be a clue to your competitors. Only the people at the finish
line can track your progress at the leader board.

 

What constitutes cheating?
We encourage
you to be creative with your solutions and strategies, so we’re very loose with
rules – you can Google, use a GPS, go beyond the budget, etc. As long as you
stick to the mechanics, follow instructions on each checkpoint/task, &
commute during race, everything else is allowed.

There may be marshals in some
areas of the race whom you can ask for clarifications. If there are no visible
marshals around, then you are free to solve the tasks your way.
