Trick for Team, Treat for Charities

This is the third edition of the Idego Ghostbusters Challenge, an annual Halloween event where teams gather to participate in spooky games while supporting charitable causes.

The first stage involves creative guessing games. Participants receive keywords representing different characters and must find their teammates without directly sharing their assigned personas. Instead, they use alternative descriptions, images, and emoticons to hint at their character identity. Examples include inviting others to a vampire party in Romania or searching for dragons to suggest a Wyvern character.

The second stage consists of a virtual ghost hunt across European landmarks. Teams traveled through various train stations and railways, including Polish trains, the Swiss Glacier Express, and Madrid stations, while solving riddles to progress through locations. The challenge culminated at Platform 9 and 3/4, with all teams successfully completing the adventure.

Each winning team received PLN 1,000 to donate to charities of their choice. Selected beneficiaries included rehabilitation funds, women's rights organizations, animal shelters, and international development projects. The article encourages readers to support these causes as well.
