One campus. One cup. Every rivalry you can muster.
Every campus has its traditions. This one comes with a trophy.
The tower on the hill. The bells across the green. The gates everyone walks through on day one — and again at the end. Western is a story the whole school already half-knows. Tonight you prove how well.
Residences, faculties and class years split into teams and are handed clues, one at a time, to race the campus for the Purple Cup.
Bragging rights are forever. Choose your team carefully.
This isn't a campus tour. It's a contest — part lore, part scavenger, part last-one-standing.
Residences and class years, head to head.
Race the landmarks that made Western — the tower, the bells, the hill, the gates — solving as you go, all the way to the crowning. Scales from a single frosh floor to a full alumni weekend, with the leaderboard up on the big screen at the social after.
Clues come one at a time — live on the app, or on sealed envelopes if you'd rather go phones-down. However you play, the shape is the same: race, solve, crown.
One at a time, on the app with a live leaderboard — or sealed envelopes, phones-down, your call. Each one sends your team to the next landmark.
Optional — switch it on if your group wants it. Every team starts with one small trinket and trades it up, charm only and no money, into something better. Best item and best story win at the Tribunal.
No "tap done." You prove you were there and that you solved it, on the spot, before the next clue unlocks.
Everyone reconvenes at the social for the reveal — leaderboard on the big screen, and the Purple Cup handed to the team that earned it.
They're on the tower, under the bells, and on the hill every Mustang already knows. You bring the purple. The campus brings the rest.
Dates for the Purple Cup are being set now. Get in touch to bring it to your residence, faculty, Homecoming or reunion — or step onto the hill and play.
