Congratulations!

You have unlocked special activities by being curious about The 4-Way Test. This test is how every Rotarian judges their actions to make sure we conducted ourselves to the highest ethical standards. If everyone lived by The 4-Way Test, the world would be a better place. Take a moment to read the test to your team and reflect on how this could apply to tough decisions in your life. Learn how it started and then get started on the 4 tasks you unlocked.

How It Started

In the 1930’s during the midst of the Great Depression, an American Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor devised a simple, four-part ethical guideline that helped him rescue a beleaguered business. The statement and the principles it embodied also helped many others find their own ethical compass. Soon embraced and popularized by Rotary International, The Four- Way Test today stands as one of the organization’s hallmarks. It may very well be one of the most famous statements as our “Self-examiner of Ethics”.

Humanity’s Last Hope

The fate of the world rests on your shoulders — and on one very ordinary object. As a team, choose a completely ordinary object and record yourselves delivering the most passionate, convincing speech possible for why this object alone could save humanity. You have 30 seconds. No pressure. Capture it on video.

Whoever Smelt It

Somewhere out there, another team is carrying something they don’t fully understand yet. Your team has been quietly handed an item — check your bag. If you find it, your mission is simple: convince another team to take it from you without revealing why. Be subtle. Be persuasive. Be creative. The team holding the item when the game ends will lose some points. Good luck!

Post Wisely

Social media gives us a platform — but how we use it is a choice. As a team, decide on a positive, inspiring message you want to share about technology or social responsibility. Then, capture a photo of your team living out that message with “Social Media.” Reflect on how your online presence can impact real lives.

Lights, Camera, RYLA!
