Stray Boots Scavenger Hunts, a mobile tech company, will soon be launching Portland: The Game, an interactive scavenger hunt/city tour which shows players the best of their town by using cell phones as tour guides. Customers receive challenges by text message, explore the area to find the answers, and learn fun facts about the neighborhood along the way.
The good folks at Stray Boots are offering East Portland Blog readers a chance to try this new service for free. Until September 21, tickets for a free pre-launch trial/beta program will be given away at – http://portlandthegamegiveaway.eventbrite.com. The official launch of the service is scheduled for Sept 22, and the company will charge a reasonable fee after that.
“The Game” has already launched in Seattle, Chicago, San Diego, New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston and Washington DC and have several other cities on the way.
