HMS "Cluevivor" 2022
Getting Started - Participant Interest
Voluntary Staff Challenge
Consider Joining Another HMS Staff Competition!
At the end of last year, we thought we had left Survivor island.
As the school year 2021 - 2022 started, we thought the challenges were in our rear-view mirror.
Spoiler alert - We dreamed we had left the island. As we started this year, we quickly came to find out that this school year has also been quite the year with more challenges and pivoting.
As we look at finishing out this school year, we invite you to consider joining self-selected teams of four in an HMS workplace-friendly competition between coworkers.
The purposes of this competition are to:
- Engage in some cooperative competition between HMS adult teams
- Bolster teamwork, raise motivation, and foster camaraderie
- Have some fun towards the end of another very challenging school year
In addition, there will be some small prizes along the way, and one large prize for the winning team of four in the competition!
In the event of a tie between teams at the end of the competition, a random draw will determine the competition winner.
If you participated last year, we thank you!
If you didn't, we invite you to join us this school year!
You may think you know this game.
But, just like we found out that we had miscalculated leaving Survivor Island at the end of last school year, you will find some new twists and turns in Cluevivor 2022 that you don't see coming.
But don't worry...
Challenges and pivoting are now second nature to you.
The rest of this newsletter will give you information on how to participate and a brief preview of what the competition involves.
Kind regards,
Christen & Donna

You may think you know this game from last year!
But we are going to Ignite the Fire in this Twisted Game of Cluevivor!
Teams of four will choose their daily challenges, earn points, and send Tiki Totems to other teams.
Your team can also choose to earn some pre-game points!
But, this year’s competition will include FOUR Tribal Councils with Becky Sengerdy (where both GOOD and BAD things can happen!)
And TWO immunity necklaces hidden somewhere in the library that IF one is in your possession,
It might just save your team from a tribal catastrophe!
But to find a hidden immunity idol, you must solve a library riddle created by the Queen of Tribal Council, Becky Senegerdy herself.
Not twisted enough for you yet (like this year has been)? Well, there’s more!
Wrapped into this game is a Clue kidnapping mystery that each team will try to solve at the end of the competition by wagering some (or all) of their accumulated points.
You will be trying to guess who the kidnapper is, the method by which the individual was kidnapped, and where the person is being held.
Each team will wager 1 earned point or more in each of three categories: the kidnapper, the method, and the captive’s location.
Guess correctly in a category, you will double your wagered points.
Guess incorrectly in a category, you will lose the wagered points.
Whose been kidnapped? Well, that’s a bit of a story…
It was a dark and dreary December 2021, and a certain individual left HMS to go work at Milton Hershey leaving his sweet, innocent, helpless co-coach to fend for herself on the dangerous, rugged island of HMS!
However, it seems that Dave never actually arrived at Milton Hershey.
The man working over there is a happy, jolly, well-adjusted, jovial individual who doesn’t have a sarcastic bone in his body. (Come to think of it, the man at Milton Hershey reminds people a lot of Santa Claus!)
Clearly, that isn’t Dave! Clues discovered recently clearly indicate that the man working at Milton Hershey is Dave’s doppelgänger (Yes! A German word just like Dave!), and Dave has been kidnapped!
It is up to your team to solve the mystery by finding out who his kidnapper is, the method of kidnapping, and where the real Dave is currently being held!
You will get clues at the four tribal council meetings in addition to a Fate Survivor Card
It is up to your team to solve the mystery of “Where in the World is the Real David Yingst!”
Interested in being part of this year’s HMS Cluevivor and saving Dave from his kidnapper?
If you don’t want to do it for a half-day off work and a $100.00 Hershey Resorts & Entertainment gift card, consider doing it to solve the mystery and save our beloved Dave from his evil kidnapper!
YOU have the power!
