No, the IT team will be trying to slowly make their way back to the base. Just like in regular tag, you're trying to get PAST the person that is IT to make it to the base so you're safe, get it?
But everytime they move to a different location they have to send another clue.
So, for example, say that the IT team is over in the lobby. They take their picture clue and send it out with a time limit of two minutes. If after two minutes no one has found them, they move on to...say, the restaurant inside the hotel. They will take another picture clue, set another time limit and wait.
Does that make more sense?
