Three hundred Taiwanese and foreign young adults participated in The Blue Line Challenge in Taipei city on Saturday, May 19, 2007. For this one afternoon Taipei city was not the usual urban environment that participants walk through in their everyday lives; instead it became the backdrop for the real world story titled ‘Superstar’.
MRT subway stops represented different stages in the career of an up-and-coming singer. At each station participants were required to take specific photographs to complete challenges and progress through the storyline (See ‘Hunt List’).
In the evening there was a culminating Superstar After Party where participants had the opportunity to see other teams’ photos, meet one another and find out who won The Blue Line Challenge.

Hunt List
You and your friends are about to live through the life of a pop superstar. Each MRT stop represents a different stage in your career. At each MRT stop you will face challenges that must be completed in order to move on to the next stage in your career.
Work with your team to complete all the challenges and transform from a hard-working street performer into an international pop superstar.
Any team can complete all the challenges and become a superstar, but
only the most creative team will take the first place prize and proudly say,
“I am the number one pop superstar!”
DOES YOUR TEAM HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?

to build up confidence.
