For the fourth year in a row, questing teams will descend upon the Chinatown Arts district in February seeking fame and fabulous prizes... all to support the Hawaii Theatre Center. Registration is now open for Chinatown Chase 2010, a city-spanning adventure and scavenger hunt organized by the fun folks at Ravenchase Adventures. Teams of ten will have to tap all their wit and wisdom to solve puzzles, crack codes, find clues and execute a stunt or two in order to be the first across the finish line.

After the chase, participants will celebrate with food, drink, and dancing, including a block party and silent auction.

Here's a video from last year's Chinatown Chase, which raised over $64,000:

Each ten-member team can compete in one of three levels: Bethel Street Bourgeoisie ($5,000), Pauahi Street Posse ($2,500), and Hotel Street Hoi Polloi ($1,500), with the top two levels offering various premiums and benefits. You can register online, or download and print a PDF registration form.

I was happy to see that Larry Heim (of HONBLUE) and Amerjit Ghag, two great leaders among Honolulu's business and arts community, will preside over Chinatown Chase 2010.
