Give residents and visitors a real reason to spend a Saturday in your business district — and give your merchants something they'll thank you for. Multi-week, multi-stop, all on one custom map.
"We don't need more events. We need more reasons to come back."
You've got the merchants. You've got the events calendar. You've got the social posts. What you don't have is a way to keep people coming back to your district between events — and a way to prove to your merchants that being part of your organization actually drives them traffic.
A Community Adventure runs for weeks, sends real people to real shops with real check-ins, and gives you a dashboard you can show at your next board meeting. Your merchants feel it. Your members renew. Your board notices.
You tell us which merchants are in, which landmarks matter, and which neighborhoods you want to activate. We design challenges around your specific geography — a sponsor passport across your shops, trivia about your district's history, photo missions at your landmarks, and bonus check-ins at your members' locations.
One branded landing page, one shareable URL. Drop it in your newsletter, your social posts, your merchant signage, and your community partner channels. Players are in within 60 seconds — no app, no friction. Some districts run their adventure free for residents; others charge a small pass fee.
Players check in across your district for weeks. You get a real-time dashboard showing which shops got traffic, which corridors lit up, which days drove the most engagement, and which merchants got the most love. Reportable to your board. Compelling for your members. Useful at renewal time.
Geo-fenced check-ins mean players actually go to your merchants — they're not just liking a post. Each check-in is a verified visit, with timestamp and location data you can show your board.
Your shops, restaurants, and service businesses become the stops on the adventure. Players discover places they'd have walked past — and the ones they love become weekend regulars.
Daily streak bonuses, rotating challenges, and time-limited content give residents a reason to come back through your district several times — not just once for a festival.
When dues conversations happen, you'll have a dashboard showing exactly how many check-ins each member location got, how long the campaign held attention, and what residents said in their photo missions.
Designed around your boundaries, your landmarks, and your participating merchants. Unique content for every campaign.
A built-in mechanic that drives players through participating shops — earning passport stamps, raffle entries, and prizes along the way.
Your Chamber, BID, or Main Street name and colors front and center. Players experience your organization, not ours.
Check-ins by location, traffic by day, top-performing merchants, photo submissions. Reportable directly to your board and members.
Sponsor-donated prizes (often from your own member businesses) drive participation and reward exploration. We handle the mechanics.
Pre-designed social graphics, newsletter copy, merchant window signs, and email templates so launch day requires zero design lift on your end.
Every district is different — but here's what an Adventure Local Community Adventure typically delivers, scaled to district size. Specifics depend on campaign length and merchant participation.
Investment ranges are typical starting points and vary based on district size, campaign length, custom content needs, and sponsor activation. Many districts cover the full cost through merchant sponsorships, anchor partner contributions, or matching grants.
Activate your member businesses with a campaign that drives real traffic and gives you renewable, reportable proof of value.
Use your district assessment dollars on a multi-week activation that proves measurable impact across every merchant block.
Knit your historic downtown into a single, coherent visitor experience — old shops, new restaurants, hidden corners and all.
Turn your market into a season-long adventure with vendor passports, recipe challenges, and bonus check-ins across market days.
Build neighborhood pride and merchant loyalty with discovery walks that let residents see their community with new eyes.
Stretch a one-day festival into a multi-week campaign — pre-event hype, day-of bonus content, post-event follow-through.
Tell us about your district, your merchants, and your goals. We'll sketch what your Community Adventure could look like, walk you through a realistic timeline, and put together a sponsorship deck if that's how you want to fund it.
