How to assemble a competitive Get-A-Clue team Assembling Your Team With a well put-together team you not only have a better chance of winning, you also increase your chances of having a really good time. And within a good team, there is a core group, the people you will get together with year after year (after year) to come back and play the game again. Look around at all the really old teams who are still playing Get-a-Clue, and you might see what I'm talking about. Also, a good Get-a-Clue team makes a good group for Game Control, if you do happen to win the game. To develop this solid core of team mates, here are some things you should look for in other team members: Find folks with a variety of skills and knowledge. Try to pull together people with different majors (or academic degrees), different hobbies, and varied interests. It would not be wise, for example, to play the game with three other computer science majors, the guys with whom you spend all of your free time, the guys who all do the same things together and have all the same non-band interests. (Assuming, that is, that computer science majors have any outside interests). Unless you know for a fact that these folks can bring something else, something unique, to the team despite those similarities, it would be wise to widen your search area a bit. Have a couple of locals, at least, on your team. Knowledge of the Atlanta area is a must, not so much in identifying the clue sites, but in knowing how to get there quickly. Try to pick people who are originally from different suburbs and neighborhoods, rather than just folks who all went to the same high school. Also, try to pick someone who has had both a license and a car since they were 16, particularly if they are just a freshmen. Knowing an area and knowing how to drive around an area are two separate things.
