South Pinnacle Hills ParkwayNavDash: Inferno
NavDash: Inferno is an on-the-road navigation challenge where drivers and co-drivers turn a 30 mile radius into a live strategy game. Using the WayHopper app, teams choose their own routes to reach more than 50 hidden checkpoints, make real-time decisions, and climb a running leaderboard. The objective is simple and intense, collect the highest score within a two hour window to win. Scoring rewards smart planning, with higher point values the farther you travel from the starting area. The first check-in must occur at Blacktop Sunday to remain eligible for prizes. Every stop requires a quick selfie that includes everyone in the vehicle, which is shared live in the app. Players stay connected through in-app photos, WhatsApp messaging, and a comprehensive leaderboard that shows standings throughout the game. After two hours, check-ins close automatically. Entry is $20 per vehicle, with prizes for the top three finishers. The payout is 70 percent for first place, 20 percent for second, and 10 percent for third, drawn from a prize pool equal to half of all entry fees collected. For the best experience, use a co-driver to handle navigation, study checkpoint values before each move, account for traffic, and bring a backup power source for your phone. A reliable data connection is required for WayHopper, and some locations may offer Wi-Fi. Each checkpoint has an approximately 600 foot check-in radius. If your phone’s GPS drifts, toggling your connection and reopening the app can help. All participants must follow traffic laws and posted speed limits, since efficient routing and smart decisions, not speed, determine the outcome.
