Welcome to Where's Wally?, a game where you have to, well, find Wally!
For those of you who do not know, Where's Wally? was a series of books featuring a number of different scenes. The reader would need to find Wally in those scenes.
For the purposes of this game, we will play a bit differently. Wally will be visiting different places on earth, in total disregard of any Coronavirus travel restrictions, and it is up to players to figure out, Where's Wally?
Looking for up to 15 players ideally. May accept more if uptake is high.
Rules
Wally will visit 20 different locations on Earth, starting off well known and getting gradually harder.
Players will be able to ask questions to the host to help find Wally. These must be yes/no questions. I will not answer any questions that cannot be answered with either yes or no. You will not get a chance to ask another question afterwards.
You may not ask whether Wally is in a specific country as one of your questions.
For the first 5 locations, players get 1 question each. For the next 5 locations, players get 1 question each, with 9 players getting a second question. For the final 10 locations, players get 2 questions each.
Each player must ask their first question by the stated deadline for that location. If you do not, you will lose your first question.
Each player must ask both their questions by a different stated deadline. If you do not, you will lose your remaining questions.
Once each player has asked their questions and the host answered, players will PM me their location guess. The deadline for answers to be received will be at the discretion of the host.
Players may send in their answers early should they wish. These will not be able to be changed once sent, so only send in early if you are confident in your answer.
All correct location guesses will gain that player 1 point. Incorrect guesses will gain 0 points.
The winner of the game is the person with the most points after all 20 locations.

Wasn't expecting so much interest. I guess Wally is a popular guy. xD
We're at 15 already! Will accept 3 more taking it to 18.
I'll then finalise the locations and will look to start on Saturday. I've got a loooong shift at work tomorrow.

I'm happy as long as I finally find out his home address. Been waiting a LONG time to know where he actually resides :P
