Eventzee Tours Chicago with “Curious City Scavenger Hunt” Powered By WBEZ Chicago

We’re excited to announce that WBEZ, Chicago’s NPR news station  launched a virtual community engagement event using the Eventzee scavenger hunt app. Utilizing Eventzee technology, the “Curious City Scavenger Hunt: Chicago Eats Edition” guided competitors throughout Chicago while exploring new cuisines and neighborhoods.

The inaugural event was brought to life by WBEZ’s Curious City program, an ongoing news experiment that includes the public in the editorial decision-making process. Dubbed the “Chicago Eats Edition” the event itself featured 74 groups of challenges for players to complete from mid-August to mid-September. Each challenge group represented a Chicago community where players were tasked to find and interact with local restaurants to learn more about the area.

“The Curious City event is a prime example of the endless capabilities of our Eventzee application,” said Craig Holland, CEO of Freeze Tag. “The team at WBEZ took their event to new heights, and has offered us some great insight into future uses of the Eventzee platform.”

One of the key features of the new Eventzee app is the ability to group challenges together to be completed sequentially. The “Curious City Scavenger Hunt” made great use of this new feature for its month-long event. Within each group there were three challenges for each of the 74 communities throughout Chicago.

The first challenge included a rhyming clue to guess the name of the neighborhood. The second challenge asked players to take a selfie in front of a particular restaurant in the area. The third challenge required players to submit a question to WBEZ. The radio station plans on using these questions to follow up with reporting in various areas around Chicago.

WBEZ Chicago shared that the scavenger hunt was overwhelmingly successful, with 407 teams (both virtual and in-person) and more than 1,000 individuals who participated from across the Chicagoland area.

MHQ Bash FREE Public Scavenger Hunt!

MHQ Bash FREE Public Scavenger Hunt!

Our annual MHQ Bash usually includes an interactive scavenger hunt for attendees in Texas, but with the world in a bit of a different place a different plan is needed! Luckily the all-new Eventzee app is perfect for hosting virtual events in a safe (and fun!) environment.

We’re excited to announce that in connection to Munzee’s “Bash From The Past!” event we have a great opportunity to show everyone a more personalized event style! Join our weeklong virtual scavenger hunt which will be a walk down memory lane, as well as a look at the future of Eventzee!

Did you know Eventzee was first announced at the first MHQ Bash in 2014? All we had was a presentation and some screenshots, but we’ve come a long way since then. So be sure to join our hunt to see how far we’ve come!

Just download the NEW Eventzee app and use the code “BASH2020” to access this special hunt. Or scan this QR code using the Eventzee app to join quickly! Please note that if you haven’t already you will need to create a new Eventzee account to join. The previous version of Eventzee used Munzee accounts to login, but the all new version stands on its own.

Scan to play!

This event will be available until September 30 at 23:59 MHQ time. Per usual no screenshots will be accepted unless the clues ask for it. Please also note that since the new version of Eventzee is separate from Munzee, players will not be awarded additional Munzee points or badges as they did previously.

There are some challenges you can complete right away, and some that will be released daily in groups to further immerse you in each day’s theme. We’ll be awarding prizes to the top finishers, so make sure to submit your best photos, videos, and text challenges to rise to the top! As we’re anticipating a large amount of submissions, we may not be able to review everything — however, we will definitely review submissions from those at the top of the leaderboard once the event is over, to ensure that the final ranking for the prize winners is accurate.

Good luck and remember to have fun! We look forward to seeing all of you in the new Social sections of the app!
