Love Chicago? Love social media? Then enter the FIJI Water Urban Hunt, a one-of-a-kind scavenger competition held on August 14 that will pit teams against each other as they race to collect points and win prizes.
Participants will use the biggest names in social networking — Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and YouTube — as they race through downtown Chicago locating, documenting, and sharing items on their list of challenges. As they gather more and more points, teams will be able to track their progress as well as that of their competitors, ensuring that everyone works extra-hard to win the event’s prizes.
How It Works
- Up to 50 teams of two persons each will comb historic downtown Chicago looking for clues.
- Each team will give themselves a team name and team profile.
- Each team will have a designated captain, who will be responsible for checking in on the Urban Hunt’s Twitter and Facebook pages, Foursquare, and other required social-media platforms.
- Teams will be kayaking for a specific segment of their clue list!
- Teams will earn extra points for using social media in entertaining and creative ways.
- The winning team will win two iPads, travel vouchers, a year of FIJI Water Delivery and more.
- Winners will be announced and prizes awarded at an after-party sponsored by VeeV Vodka and held at SUSHISAMBA.
Chicago's iconic skyline will serve as the event's backdrop.
The Fine Print
- Team captains must have minimum numbers of Facebook friends and Twitter followers to participate. (The second team member does not.)
- No private transportation may be used. Teams will be given a special CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) Card for use during the event.
- Team members must be over 21 years of age to participate.
- The team captain must have access to a smartphone.
- All team members’ Facebook profiles must be public for the entire day of the event.
People who love social media and being challenged will love the FIJI Water Urban Hunt. It’s an exciting way to explore Chicago, make new friends, and play your way to some great prizes.
