The Rebel Cashunter

   In the past year we have been doing a variety of research on urban races that take place around the country now for the past several years.  With that research we have studied these "amazing race" style of games and seen what makes them so attractive and yet addictive to their players that makes them come back for more each and every year.  The conclusion we came back with was... just competitive fun..period.  So there really is no secret as to what makes these games so special but the one thing is evident, they are all pretty much a "cookie cut" of each other.  So here is where we come in..     What we strive for is a couple of things that makes any Cashunt game stand out..the quality of the product , the experience, and the reward to player..those three aspects are the essential part as to what makes the experience different.  So we have come up with the blue print of our version of an urban race.. our version will have elements of the ...

I might be late to the party when it comes to the Skylanders party but I must say being a gamer myself….I am hooked!  I was thinking of something cool and different to buy my 6yr old and via the recommendation of my friends that our parents..they're response was …"You need to get him Skylanders!"  So I did and gave it to my son for Christmas..now after trying it out I'm right next to him joining in on all the fun!   The concept of the game is a typical adventure game that involves RPG, puzzles, etc.  But what is cool is that associated with the game it self is that you need to buy toy figures that are grouped via element catagories that are playable in the Skylanders world by placing them on this glowing base.  The amazing thing about these figures is that they have a "brain" inside of them that collects everything that figure has done in the game.  So that figure's resume is contained within and can be played on your neighbor's game system.  The...

GREAT BOOK FOR GAMERS! So I was in a local bookstore this past weekend looking for some cool books to gift for some friends and I ran into this book and had to share it with you all.  Now for the most part the majority of the people that read this blog are what we would call "gamers" so I would say this book is right up your alley.  The book is called "The Games Bible" by Leigh Anderson and inside of it are hundreds of games that you can host from kids games right up to fun and funny party games.      Now I know you might be thinking.."I've seen these types of books before and it's just a list of some basic games"..the answer to that is ..nope.   It is broken down to a variety of games outdoor, indoor, kids, adult, fun, strategic, funny, wild, card..you name it..it's a great reference book to some real cool ideas.  So with that said if you are a lover of games or competition which I am sure you are and you love to entertain..I suggest ...

Good Morning! For the past few years we have been asked about expanding out of the New England area and approaching other markets.  The truth is we do fly out to other markets to coordinate our games for corporate clients in such cities as Chicago and New York City, but honestly we can be everywhere at the same time unless we did indeed expanded the brand to other major cities.   So after doing A LOT of homework and really understanding this concept we will start offering franchises sometime in the year of 2013.  How that will be carefully done is for us selecting the cities that we think would fit the Cashunt brand perfectly, in other words this game is not fit for everywhere.  The game needs to be in a city enviroment that really captures the area and makes it a perfect marriage for Cashunt.  We believe also that it is a great business opportunity for someone that is looking for someting different to do that is fun and exciting. Ultimately tha...

What's this whole thing about our new "home game" venture you may ask? Well the reason for it is quite simple..we can't be everywhere as much as we would like too (more to come on that ;) )so we decided to do something about it. What we did is we created a select amount games that were amongst the top cities that get requested for a Cashunt all the time (Philadelphia, Miami, Brooklyn, Hollywood and Washington DC) so until we offer games in those areas we decided to offer home versions of our games. Now obviously the home versions will be a scaled down versions of the typical live experience that most are used to, but they are very easy to host and are well constructed and customized for your event. In other words we have done all the work all you need to do is enjoy it and play! Also this week we have included 3 new home games that can be played anywhere (The Tween Dash, New Years Race, and The Turkey Dash) To take a peak at these new games just click the link.. ...

      I want to believe that we are put on this planet to good and help people along the way.  I think that is a rule that we all should follow in our daily lives..be it family, friends, or the person in passing that would need our help.  When that opportunity of helping  approaches I believe we should act on it and not walk by it pretending it doesn't exist.  So when we really wanted to reach out and give back it was really hard because there are so many great causes that needed help..but we chose one that had really effected us in many ways and hit us the hardest.     We chose the Susan G Komen For The Cure Massachusetts, because the awful disease of cancer is becoming more common everyday and can not be ignored.  I personally have witnessed this disease first handed with people that I know and love dearly in many of it's forms and it is something I would want no person to go through.    I ...

Happy Fall!        We know it's been a long time since we have last posted, with that said we would like to post when we think that there is something you should know about.  That time has come.  In 2013 we will be throwing our hat into to "Urban Race" ring, and compete with other companies within the country with our own version of an urban race.  After studying the competition we think that by us adding some elements of a "Cashunt" into our version it will make our version of the race even more exciting to the other races that are being offered today.          As always it is always about the "product" and we think the product will be revealing in 2013 will that much interesting, competitive, fun, and different.  The game will be in an "Amazing Race" style of a foundation and will be played in teams of 2 or 3.  We will have early registration for a discounted entry fee and we will be partnering with a few compa...

Just recently we were asked to design a game for a former client in a different location. When we asked where that would be.... they told us Gillette Stadium.  At first we thought how can we design a game in that small location where we are used to designing games in more of a city landscape. Ultimately we agreed and were up for the challenge.   I personally have not been to Gillette stadium to see the addition of Patriot Place, but when we arrived to scout the location I was pleasantly surprised as to what was all around us.  It has everything we could imagine...detail, history, a nature trail, even a cranberry bog that you would have never thought was ever a part of this place.  So after a few visits and really enjoying the location especially The Patriots Hall of Fame (which I highly reccomend) it was pretty inspiring to become creative and yet give our players another twist in the game of Cashunt. So with that said we created a game that will be open for bookings...

The key to business is quite frankly personality, without personality your business or your brand becomes dull to the public that you are trying to attract. Your brand has to be creative and if anything should have a story behind it. When you have a unique brand name it has to have some sort of connection to the service or the product that you are selling. There are people that are intrigued by the origin of certain businesses and how they got their name. If you are a start up business, this is a fantastic reference tool. You need ultimately to be in the public mindset, like I've always said nobody talks about "boring" they talk about cool and different. Joe's donuts, fantasy nails, and seashore computers just don't cut it. Take your time with it, there's no need to rush. Remember it has to have some sort of connection to you and the product or service that you are selling, selecting the wrong name can always be very expensive. Another ...

There is nothing more exciting when I see creativity being used every day now by new businesses that really want to push the envelope. The days of the typical 9 to 5 in typical occupations are  starting to lose their attraction and people are starting to look another way. They're taking their strengths and their passions and really making something out of it, which at the end of the day is inspiring and also gratifying.  The great thing is people are really starting to pay attention to their talents and that is really important.  You are hear or read about it everyday.   Now in 2012 even after  coming off of one of the worst economic crisis in this country's history, people are starting to embrace a different direction and are bringing in a new aspect of their lives. In other words, if they can not find a job..they will create one and that right there  folks is called "drive" Something that we all have if we utilize it correctly.  One thing that I'...

Every once in a while we try to think of something different and try to reinvent ourselves each year to bring something new to the public and to our players.  With that said last year we were doing the typical updating of our current games for the upcoming season, until suddenly we stumbled onto something... We noticed all this outdoor artwork commissioned by city of Boston that is  spread out all around the city.   We believe that all this artwork that has been around for years as well as the new pieces that have been popping around the city have gone unnoticed,  so I thought we can change that.      By installing the foundation of our game combined we these cool, classic, and contemporary pieces, we have created yet another fun Boston experience, which we are calling "The Art Dash"    This game will take players to all these cool locations as well as competing against other teams doing fun and competitive challenges along the ...

Hello Cashunters hope all is well with you!  So as many of you know that each year we try to recreate ourselves, to bring you the latest in the games we offer and this year will be no different.  This season we have created new booklets that will bring some mystery in the additional pages that  we have added in as well as the website that compliments them.  But what we are excited about most is that we will be replacing the digital cameras that are currently used in some of our games with the ipod touch.   This change will open  a bunch of new areas that the teams have not experienced before.  We can't explain what those new experiences are because we would be giving some of our secrets out.  What we can guarantee is that it will make the game even more interesting, fun and competitive than it has ever been.  Some of our games in our library will include this new technology by early 2012 and all of our games (except our field trip games) will...

This summer we will be bringing out of retirement one of the games that started the whole thing for Cashunt.  Starting in July we will be offering The DashRun.. The DashRun was the first game we ever offered when we were starting out 12 years ago.  The DashRun will start off from Salem, Ma and end off in Boston, and everything in between will be in play!   We dusted off the old blueprint of this multi-city competition and tweaked it  to fit more of a 2012 setting, where the challenges are new and fun.  The DashRun will be a 4 hour game that will only be conducted on Sundays from June all the way to September.  As always all media from the event will be free to our clients 24hrs after the event. For more information about the game feel free and call our office. (Monday Thru Friday 10am to 5pm) Bookings will start in May..
