A funny story when a bunch Cashunt student players met the Mayor and Mr Kennedy.

I had to share this story that was sent to us today.. it recalls when a Cashunt team needed to take a picture with the Mayor to obtain some points and who they had to push away in order to get it.  Thank you Sharon!

Chris,

I can't thank you enough for all the tremendous outings for my students and colleagues.
Your organization and professionalism have made our scavenger hunt in Boston the most requested activity of our students and families. In the midst of all the exploration for clues and fun-filled engagement with the public my kids have learned so much about the history of Boston. My most memorable hunt was the one were the kids were in search of Mayor Menino to score big time photos. They wanted to maximize their points so they could take a detour to Mike's Pastries. On their route to the North End they stumbled across the dedication of the green space dedicated to Rose Kennedy.
As they recognized Menino, the large group of nearly ten students and their chaperones decended on the scene requesting photos. As Menino and the other dignataries step in for the photo with our kids our kids did the thing only teens could do. They asked everyone to step out of the photo, "We only need Mayor Menino for points." this was said to the mortification of the chaperones. Ted Kennedy and Dival Patrick kindly stepped out of the photo. For the kids it was about the game. -- Today that group of students are in college and I just recently overheard their discussing their naiveté at that time and but the memory of all the things they learned.
It's hard to believe we are approaching eight years of working together. I look forward to bringing more students and families your way. Thanks for great service and lasting memories.

CASHUNT Charleston: My Visit

It has been a craaazzzzyy few months with our expansion of the Cashunt brand..but well worth the ride.  As you might already know we have expanded to 3 new cities (Philadelphia, Chicago, and Charleston, SC). After returning from Charleston I was really impressed with a city that I was really all not to familiar with.  There is history on every block that is really under the radar in the American history that we were taught in school. The weather, the beauty of the architecture,and  the southern hospitality of the people of Charleston we amazing...not to mention the food as well.  Last week was our first game in Charleston and the results and the reviews were fantastic! Our Charleston facilitator Brian Simms of Charleston Sole coordinated our Cashunt Charleston Mad Dash and inputed his knowledge of the Charleston area into the game  and made you view this great city in a whole different way.  So on that note if you have not visited the city of Charleston, SC make it a point to do so...it is really a very cool experience and a really nice place to get to know. For more information about our games in the Charleston SC area just go to to www.cashunt.com and go to Cashunt Charleston.

Cashunt Chicago and Cashunt Charleston are Born


We have been pretty busy as of late with what we would like to call Phase 3 of Cashunt!  We have been talking to several cities about becoming new locations of the Cashunt brand that will have regularly played games 7 days a week just like our anchor city (Boston) for the past 13 seasons.  We decided to select only 3 cities this year to make that happen, and the two of the three we would like to announce are Cashunt Charlestion in the beautiful area of Charleston SC and Cashunt Chicago in the amazing city of Chicago Il!

Both these cities bring a unique flavor that we believe would be a fantastic fit for the Cashunt brand and bring a new exciting and fresh alternative to the public!

With that said we still have on more city to announce but we are going to keep that under wraps until next month ;)

Cheers!
Chris

Two New Cities Will Soon Be Announced!

These past few weeks we have been sooooo busy going into what we are calling "Phase 2".  Phase 2 is basically the expansion of the Cashunt brand to other major cities around the country.  After long interviews with a few desired areas we will soon announce two new cities that will be new branches of Cashunt.  Each city will offer 3 of the top Cashunt games in their city through out the season..those games will be that cities version of the Cashunt's Mad Dash, Bridal Dash, and the Birthday Dash!
     We have been so excited about this process for some time now and knowing we are couple of months away from this being reality is fantastic!  With that said we will be announcing these 2 new cities in the coming weeks, maybe even earlier..stay tuned!

Our Facilitator Program Begins..

     Through the past few years we have receive various interest for people from other markets to facilitate our cashunt games. We had thought about it and really did not want to jump on to something without being completely ready for the next step.  As you might have already seen in a previous blog post that we will be offering franchises we will also be offering a facilitator program for those that are not looking to franchise but are willing to have the fun and exciting job of facilitating our Cashunt games.  What we are looking for people that are outgoing and are a people person to coordinate our games in their desired area.
    The key thing to keep in mind is that we are not just going to agree to any place just for the sake of bringing the brand and product to another city.  The location is obviously key in the factor of a "walkable" city that has great surrounding areas and attractions around it.  That way it enhances the areas and makes the game ever so challenging and detailed.  The experience is always key to our clients and the relationship to our games and coordinators.  We are not a clipboard and a sheet of paper type of company, our image is professional in all areas: the coordinator,  the game materials, and the pre and post game experiences.
    The other thing to know is once we assign a facilitator to that area it is theirs and theirs alone. So the facilitator will not be sharing the area with another Cashunt facilitator..they would be exclusive to that area alone.  With that said if you are interested in facilitating our Cashunt games..feel free and call us at 866-276-4733 and we can provide you with all the details.  If you are looking for a fun and exciting job or you are currently an existing tour business and want to add on to library of services..consider Cashunt a top ranked scavenger hunt experience now in our 13th season!

St Patty's Dashunt Returns for Season 13!

 
Our specialty seasonal games are always popular but our annual St Patty's Dashunt is always up there when it comes to this unique game in and around the St Patrick's holiday in Boston!  The St. Patty's Dashunt is a game that has the foundation of a cashunt game and is built upon a Boston St Patrick Theme! 
    Now in our 13th Season this game is only offered during the dates of March 1st right to March 17th ( March 17th is already SOLD OUT)..we have talked about this being a regular season game..but I personally think it's best played in and around the  March holiday.  The game is great for people that want to have some..fun, laughs, and love a little competition.  This game is not at all a "pub crawl" but just a fun alternative city game..which is what all the cashunt games are all about!  You can save the alcohol for after the game ;) If you want more information about this game feel free and speak to a game coordinator and he/she can fill you in with all the details!
