“Outwit, Outlast, Out-date”
On Friday, September 18th, BYU’s Museum of Peoples and Cultures (MPC) will host a “Survivor” date night to test couples’ ability to withstand challenges and test their ability to survive in the ancient world. There will be two sessions: the first at 6 and the second at 8 p.m.
“Our ‘Survivor’ date night gives couples a chance to see just how competitive their date can be,” said Anna McKean, promotions manager at the MPC. “It’s an exciting event with lots of fun and unique games.”
The date night will begin with couples divided into tribes and then taking a tour of the MPC’s current exhibits: “New Lives: Building Community at Fourmile Ruin” and “Kachinas of the Southwest: Dances, Dolls, and Rain.” These tours will help the tribes prepare for the night’s challenges, which include a timed excavation in a sand pit, a relay race to rebuild a broken pot, and a trivia question round.
The top three couples whose minds, skills, and patience can withstand challenge after challenge will receive prizes.
Tickets for ‘Survivor’ Date Night are $10 a couple, available at the WSC information desk beginning Monday, September 14. For more information, call 801.422.0020 or visit mpc.byu.edu. The MPC is located on 100 E. 700 N.
