Pillage the Village: World Record Scavenger Hunt Attempt
DealEvents.com and the Greenwich Village Chelsea Chamber of Commerce are attempting to break the record for The Worlds Largest Scavenger Hunt of All Time. They are looking for fun individuals and teams to get involved, help some charities and have some fun breaking the record.
There are prizes for any team that finishes, and special awards for those really deserving (best dressed, most badass, most points gathered, etc.)
The Scavenger Hunt:
You will be given instructions that will send you on a walking tour of Downtown New York
in teams of four (you can make your own teams or get assigned to a team).
Solve puzzles, find clues and answer riddles.
The puzzles will range from fiendish riddles through to some simpler eye spy type tasks,
and you’ll be awarded points for everything you find.
When you’ve found enough, you can come back, hand in your sheet and enter the draw to win one of many prizes including Kindle Fires, travel vouchers, movie tickets, restaurant gift vouchers and (the proverbial) much more.
Admission is free but you must register at: http://dealevents.eventbrite.com/
Sign up to support your favorite group or charity (donation is optional)
Bring your printed ticket with you to gain access to the event.
meet at noon:
