At the camp, we spent the week trying to keep a secret treasure out of the hands of those who would loot it for their own personal ends. To do this, we had to "break into" several buildings, including the state capitol, and do a fair amount of reconnaissance. My character was the tech/theft expert and did things like pick pockets and crack encrypted messages. I also made every kid a fake Delaware ID to go with their alias. They were laminated and based on an organ donor card instead of a real ID, but the kids got a kick out of them. Here is what mine looked like:

On a side note, it turns out I'm kind of good at faking IDs. Perhaps I should give up publishing for a life of crime. It would probably involve less risk.
And should you ever discover that you need to create an alias, here are the same tips I gave the kids:
- Use a name that is similar, but not too similar, to your own. For instance, my alias was Mattie which sounds an awful lot like Maddy, one of my real nicknames. I never once failed to turn around when someone called my name. Nothing gives away a fake name faster then forgetting that it is your name when someone is calling you.
- Choose a friend's birthday as your alias's birthday. You need a birthday you can remember, so instead of choosing a holiday or just randomly making one up, choose a friend's. However, try to choose a friend that would not come up on a standard comprehensive background check. So, no parents or close relatives and not your best friend since you were 5.
- Try to choose a street name and number of a place that actually exists in the town you are claiming to live in. It would take authorities that much longer to discover the location's inauthenticity.

Way cool - totally fun. Thanks for sharing that!
So does this mean you're running from the law now?
I wish you'd told me I needed to be mysterious when I dropped of the ms! I would have worn black and put on my sunglasses :)
Always good to have a fake name. My real name was my mother's fake name and my daughter had an alias as well...want some real fun is fill out some inane questionnaires sometime with your fake name and you will end up getting junk mail with it including address labels. Which is weirdly fun to see :)
What great tips for creating a fake ID! I'd never even thought about it, and I watch Law & Order like my last breath depended on it. So...yeah. :)
Any particular reason why it's a Delaware ID?
