Amazing race tour
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
So I spent an awesome weekend in Zurich with fellow incubaker, Fabian. As he was showing me around the sites of Zurich, he told me about an awesome scavenger hunt in NYC for his friend’s birthday. In a nutshell, the scavenger hunt paired groups of 3 on a quest of clues that pointed them all over Manhattan. Every effort was made to make this an event to remember as people scoured the city looking into bars, gardens and other locations for puzzles, clues and even passwords into secret gmail accounts.
We got to thinking…why isnt there a tour group that offers “Amazing Race” type of tours around cities? What better way to really explore the city than make it a game and feel rewarded at the end. For example, at the airport you are handed an envelope which outlines the overall mission that guides you to the hotel you are staying at and also where you get your first clue. People are guided thru the city, public transport, great eating spots and sites and finally a party. Clues can be hidden in public places, people or just puzzles and symbols. The tour doesn’t have to be for just tourists but also for long time city residents that either want to do some exploring or planning an event (i.e. birthday). Unforgettable? I think so…
