Towns across New Zealand each featured over a whole week of Studio 2! We met the locals, found out about the history of the area, and got involved in some local activities! When 'Mission On - 2Town' rolled through each town, 8 kids got the chance to represent their town in some sporting challenges, with their efforts combining to create an overall score on the '2Town' leaderboard!
