    Bare with me as this is a work in progress. My idea:
    30 People, 100oz +, a local food item, Local brewery swag.
    Point of game. Guess where your box is coming from.

    I will do everything in 2-3 weekends. Everything consist of:
    Pick 5 people video recorded and put on forum. I will also pick 5 people(doors as per let's make a deal show) the 5 doors will not be shown on forum, will be kept secret from everyone, including each other.
    Everyone will give me 4 questions before we even start.
    Question 1 will be about beer, favorite brewery, beer etc
    Question 2 weather, what's your avg rain fall, how much snow you get etc
    Question 3 food what type of sandwich they serve at your local stadium, what is a regional bar grub etc...
    Question 4 sports, what NFC division is your team in? Do you have an MLB team? Etc...
    * No question should be so straight forward, like what is your NFL teams name, or did Philly cheese steaks originate in your town?

    Point is to guess where your box is coming from but not so oblivious.

    After the 5 ( contestants) are picked and the 5 ( doors).
    Contestant 1 picks a door. I post his 4 questions, the door will message me his 4 answers, I will post his answers plus the door will give a hint. The hint will consist of anything they want, but! It can only be about an adjacent state or regional.

    Example (door is from Maryland) says he loves beer from an original colony. Vague, yet know it's east coast. Or if they wanna be a little more nicer with hint, they can say" dogfish is from this state", so now you know it's Delaware so it can be any state touching Delaware.

    After all this contestant 1 takes who he picked (say door 3), he hears all 4 questions and hint. He thinks door is somewhere maybe D.C. But he's hoping for beer from Illinios. So he Declines door 3. So he picks another from the 5. Picks door 2. Hears the answers to same 4 questions, gets new hint. now decision time, take door 2, or back with first choice door 3. After he makes decision that will be his sender. Than contestant 2 picks from the 4 doors left. Keep going until all 5 contestants picked all 5 doors. But when 5 is up there is one door left, I'll put up his question he'll get his hint if he doesn't like it, I pick another from the people waiting. He'll hear the answers and hint and pick from the two. Then next day pick 5 new contestants and 5 new doors. I will try to get done as soon as possible, so if your not on everyday, and like once a month it won't work. Need active people. Would love to get 5 people done on a Friday, then 5 on a Saturday then 5 on a Sunday. Then in 1-2 weeks sAMe thing so all 30 have beer coming. I will be the 30th contestant since I will know everything going on, so I'll get last door.( BA)

    So 15 people picked in week 1, pick 15 doors( senders), than week 2 or 3
    The 15 senders pick from the 15 targets in week 1.

    Beer must be from your state, 85 or higher rating. Please keep local. Not to be an ass but I don't care if you been trading 20 years with buddy in here and you found his missing link want, if it's not from your state oh well, make a seperate trade. Must be 100oz+ of your favorite states brews, a food item from your state( or region) and a beer swag from a state brewery.

    Would like to start after holidays maybe start getting the 29 now, myself being 30. And start maybe mid Janurary. Any other ideas, questions, gripes will be discussed.

    Thanks all and cheers!

    We can do adjacent states. It sounds complicated but I think we can get through it. Cliff notes, I guess I can make some up. :wink:

    Cliff notes, pick a door, get some beer. At some point, your name is behind the door and you send beer. Easy.
