How do I score points in this trek?
By going to the places in the Revolutionary Ideas Trek and doing the challenges *in* that trek. At each place in the trek, you'll see two types of challenges; Revolutionary Ideas challenges (featured up top) and normal challenges further down. The challenges featured up top (in the Revolutionary Ideas Trek) are the ones that earn you points in this trek. Doing the other challenges (in the second section further down) will earn you normal SCVNGR points. These will make you feel awesome, but *do not* count for this trek.
I don't have an iPhone or Android. Can I still play?
Unfortunately, no. We'll be expanding to other platforms soon.
