C2C Quest - Team Captains

This Division is ideal for clubs, school groups, faith-based organizations, troops, sports teams, neighborhoods, or any other multi-household group.

All ages can participate. For youth teams, parent/guardian contact info is required at registration so that we may get confirmation and agreement to our waiver and photo release.  

Once a team member registers, their entire family/household can help them complete missions. This can be beneficial in a variety of ways. For example: some missions will require posting to social media that teens & younger children might not be able to complete on their own. Other missions will involve gathering children’s items to donate, so you’ll need some little ones who are ready to part with their stuff.  And many missions will just be easier to accomplish (and more fun!) if several family members work together.

Companies who support the Million Children Fund can field teams of co-workers or teams of employees with their families who will compete together in the Corporate Division.

Based on level of support, companies can also receive recognition on C2C’s website & social media, and event recognition including opportunities to have their name or logo featured as a “Spotlight Supporter” of Quest Missions.

Quest is an ideal CSR and engagement activity for teams who are working remotely, or those who are spread geographically. Employees do not need to be in the Philadelphia area to participate.

To register for C2C Quest, we request that all groups make a donation to the Cradles to Crayons Million Children Fund. You may choose any amount you wish to donate. 

Team Captains have the option of making one group donation on behalf of a whole team, or asking individual team members to each give a personal gift.

After making your Team Captain donation on the Community Team Registration page, you will receive another link to complete the registration process on a google form. This form includes our waiver and photo release, and therefore MUST be filled out by each team member (or one adult per family.)  Please do NOT register on behalf of your team members. 

You can invite team members to join you by sharing the Community Team Registration page OR you can forward the google form to them if you have made one group donation to cover registration for your entire team. 

If you choose to make a group donation on behalf of your team, you can forward the google form to each team member (or parent) so they can complete their own registration and sign our waiver & photo release.

If your team members plan to make individual donations to the Million Children Fund, they can will automatically receive the google form to complete their registration and can enter your team name on the form to be added to your team. 

Please do not register any team members on their behalf, and please do not share the game code or team code with anyone who has not completed our registration form. We need to verify acknowledgement and agreement with our waiver and photo release before anyone participates in the Quest. Thank you.

We strongly recommend limiting teams to fewer than 12 players. If your group has more members who would like to join, please consider registering multiple teams (ex: ABC Team1 and ABC Team 2) and dividing your group.

WHY???  During game play, once a mission is accomplished and submitted for points, it is no longer available for other team members to complete. C2C Quest is a competition, but it’s also supposed to be fun for everyone, so we want all participants to have lots of chances to play along. A consistent team size will also keep the competition fair & more enjoyable.

Plus, we’re counting on this event to help promote Cradles to Crayons on social media & in local communities, and to bring in lots of donations of quality-checked children’s items and financial support, too.  In order for this to be successful, we’re relying on many small teams to complete many sharing missions.

C2C staff can help divide your group if you have too many players for one team. Email familiesphiladelphia@cradlestocrayons.org if you have additional questions about team size.

Once you have created a team, Cradles to Crayons will add your team name to our game platform. You will be notified within 1-2 days of registering that your team is set up within our app.

After your team members have registered, they will need to download the C2C Quest app to their smartphones and sign in to your team. Detailed instructions for this will be emailed to you and to each registered team member. Be sure that all of your team members have registered, downloaded the app downloaded and selected the game & team before the Opening Ceremony.

The app will be in a “waiting to start” status until the Opening Ceremony on Apr 27 @ 7:00pm.  

You can see screenshots of the app registration on our “How to Play” page.

If you’d like to see how the game will actually work before you start inviting others, check out our “How to Play” page which includes screenshots and lots more detail.

When one member of your team submits evidence, that mission moves from “Remaining” to “Completed” and is no longer available for other team members to submit.

Make a plan together with your team to determine who is best suited for specific missions because BONUS points are awarded for costumes, props, and creativity. For example, if one of your team members happens to have a pirate hat and a pet parrot, that player might be the best choice to complete the “Shiver Me Timbers” mission! 

Some missions offer BONUS points for having the highest number of something submitted in a category, or for having more several members included in the activity, so make a plan and communicate with your team!

TEAM MULTIPLIERS!  Many missions will have this important label in the description. If you see the Team Multiplier note, you are able to collect evidence from your team and upload a photo collage on behalf of the whole team.

For example, the “C2C Scrapbook” mission asks players to upload a photo from a prior volunteer visit to the Giving Factory. Instead of just one player submitting a photo to complete the mission, you can ask multiple team members to text/email their photos to you so you can make a photo collage to upload (most smartphones have this feature). Be sure to add player names/initials in the comments, and you’ll earn points for EACH player photo (up to the maximum amount listed in the mission.)

Example of SINGLE FAMILY photo entry vs MULTI-FAMILY collage entry for Team Multiplier points:
