Tahoe City Downtown Association is hosting the inaugural Explorathon, a month-long digital activity challenge from Sept. 19 to Oct. 18.
Teams consisting of 2 to 6 people, of all ages, can sign up to participate in challenges that encourage adventure, team bonding, discovery of new places within the community and support for local businesses. Teams will earn points for completing chosen adventures and documenting the challenges using the free GooseChase scavenger hunt app. Challenges vary from easy to athletic and will include posting photos, videos, GPS check-ins and correctly answering trivia questions.
Participants can complete the challenges at his or her own pace and will be able to track progress on the event leaderboard and have a chance to win weekly prizes. Teams can participate for a weekend or the entire month for a chance at the grand prize, selected by raffle at the end of the challenge.
While many of the challenges will encourage outdoor exploration, some will include indoor activities, and all will be family-friendly. To participate, teams must download the free GooseChase app (available for Android and iOS), create a team within the app and start completing challenges.
Thanks to generous sponsor support, participation in the Tahoe City Explorathon is free, but a $10 donation per person to Tahoe City Downtown Association is encouraged to support future events. | visittahoecity.org/explorathon
