The Bachelor Dash Returns!

Image
After retiring The Bachelor Dash a few years ago we decided to reinstate the game.  The reason is pretty simple for 2 reasons one: The typical Bachelor party is becoming a thing of the past and people are looking for alternatives and two: we got a lot of calls last year if we have a bachelor version to the Bridal Dash.  So after hosting several games for bachelors last year we figured why not reinstate the game all together.  Naturally one of out anchor games "The Bridal Dash" always grabs attention and continues with it's own popularity year after year amongst the Bachlorette market but we have nothing for the guys.  We never believed that there was a market out there so we decided to pull it but as of last year we were mistaken and we found out indeed there is market out there.       So the Bachelor Dash will be the complete flip side of the Bridal Dash where the game will consist of 6 challenges customized around the groom.  Bachelor D...

Season 11 has taken flight...

                                                    HAPPY NEW YEAR CASHUNTERS!! So first it's an amazing feeling to announce that we have started with out 11the season of Cashunt!  We set a couple of weeks to rest and then we are back in full throttle!  We started our season last week in (a snow storm to say the least) after trying to convince our players "that it's not a good idea to play in the snow"...they were not having it..LOL  We have had "diehard" players in the past..but this would be up there as a bit extreme, but in the end with the snow and all they had a fantastic time:)  So as always we will keep you up to date with the small changes we have made as well as the typical that we do every year (updated ...

Gift Certificates for 2011 Games!

As always this time of year we always have great promotions when it comes to the upcoming season!  So this Holiday Season we will be offering a 10 player package Boston Mad Dash Game for any date in the upcoming year for simply $300 that is a $50 savings from the retail price of $350.  A normal ticket price for a Boston Mad Dash Scavenger Hunt competition is $35pp but with this special promotion the ticket price will be $30pp.  When you purchase your gift certificate it would be a good idea to let us know a date you have in mind especially if it is a weekend... If you don't, no worries you can let us know at a later time (we would suggest a month prior to the date your looking at)  for more information about this promotion you can speak to a game coordinator and we will give you all the details.  This promotion ends 12/31/10.

Take Home Cashunt Update

For a few years now several people from out of state asked us if we offer "take home games" for those that do not live in the Cashunt cities being Boston, Chicago and NYC.  We have thought about it over and over again and the answer is that we will be offereing a condensed version of our live game into a "take home game" that anyone can host.  There will be 2 versions of it one that will be a very general version of the game and another will be designed for certain cities around the country and some international cities such as London, Montreal, etc.  The price point has not been determined as of yet but it will be a more affordable version from our live games but again a much smaller redesigned game that will be easier to put together. Games such as the Bridal Dash, Birthday Dashunt, Haunted, Holiday Hijinks, Hide N' Seek, etc will not be converted to home games..  The Cashunt Home Game will be available starting 1st Quarter of '11.

The Boston Mad Dash Deluxe & The Singles Dashunt 2011 Annoucement.

Image
As we do every year we introduce a couple of new games for our library and retire some old ones.  There will be 5 news games that will be included in the 11th Season of Cashunt. Two that we can announce right now will be The Singles Dashunt and The Boston Mad Dash DELUXE.  The ever popular Boston Mad Dash will continue to be offered to the public, but in Deluxe it will be a much bigger game with a bigger playing field (a big chunk of Boston) new challenges and one hour longer (3hrgame).  So if you have played the original and want a new challenge I think Deluxe will be perfect.  We tested the new version out in October and the reviews have been great..so we honestly do not see anything we need to tweak on Deluxe as ready to go on 3/1/11.    The other game we would like to announce that will be available starting 2/12/11 will be "The Singles Dashunt"  this game will be offered once a month and will be geared to singles.  We just felt with speed d...

So What's With This $500 T-shirt Collection?!?

We have been getting this question a few times after our games ever since we annouced it in early October. What it is is that you will be able to buy a tshirt, sweatshirt, etc between $40 to $60 dollars that the artwork on the front and  back of the item will have clues as to where there is $500 hidden somewhere in  New England. Now this will be running for 1 month, so when someone finds the envelope containing $500 and take a picture with their special t-shirt on will win that prize. Once a location has been found that location will be closed but there will be other locations that will be alive because each shirt will have a variety of different locations hidden within the artwork.  Obviously one prize per player, the beauty of this promortion is that the majority of all the sales will be going to hopefully St. Jude's. The bigger the percentage the better:)  We have to finalize that with them and try to make the clothing fun and hip with obviously a purpos...

Reinvention...

Hi there Cashunters! hope all is well and you Fall has started off the right foot!  As I write this to all of you, we are about 2 months away from closing our 10th chapter to Cashunt and preparing for our 11th.  Every time at this point of the year we start working on what will be in the horizon of the Cashunt universe for the following year, and with that comes reinvention..  The reinvention of our games have been an annual practice and it constantly makes the Cashunt brand new and refreshed.  We retire games, create new ones and always update the games in our library because we never want repeat customers to think that have the game all figured out ...when they really don't ;)  2011 or Season 11 as we would like to call it, will have all of these elements in the upcoming year, plus more.  The culture of our business is to give our customers/players more and at a fantastic price that they will talking about it to their friends for ...

Boston Globe Article Is a Bit Misleading...

So I had got word that an article we did with the Boston Globe a few weeks ago would be out today at the news stands and we must say we were very excited when found out.  Front page lead ...WOW! Cover Story.....WOW! Two Page Spread ...DOUBLE WOW!!.  Then I read it....  I must say the article is very well written and the subject is targeting Bachlorette Scavenger Hunts.  How this article was written is that the reporter went onto two bridal scavenger hunts, those being our game "The Bridal Dash" and our competitior's version of a bachlorette scavenger hunt(which we were fully aware of).  Where the problem falls is that a good portion of the article details more risque portions of the other hunt which is more Adult in nature and in turn makes our "family friendly/clean game" seem just as dirty.. With no mention of our game being clean, which bothers us a bit because we find it misleading and we work so hard to successfully g...

New Point Record - Peanut's Posse

Image
So earlier this year we had Tara's Tribe break what we thought was an unbreakable record held from the then record holders and current Cashunt Champs Team Jumpstart.  Now it happened again.. with one of the most competitive teams that have emerged in our 10 year history and the go by the name Peanut's Posse.  These girls came to play and play they did, they played the game using the three words we encourage each team to utilize before each and every game.  Delegate ...Improvise ... and use Strategy..and they did and the end result..Peanut's Posse is the current top spot holder for the championship game and also new record holders!  Just when you think something can't be broken....think again!

The Philadelphia Mad Dash

This year has been an interesting year to say the least as to how much traffic is coming from Philadelphia to Boston.  It seems like every 3rd game we have are people visting from philadelphia as opposed to the typical (NYC Conn, RI, etc)  So with that said, every single client that is from philadelphia and has played the game continued to ask us why Cashunt has not visted philadelphia?  So hearing it for several times a month we took the liberty and did some research...and the result was perfect. Philadelphia has everything that Cashunt asks for (walking town, history, great props, etc) so we are annoucing as of April 2011 that The Philadelphia Mad Dash will be arriving.  Bookings will start as of March 2011, we are really excited that this is taking place and we are pretty surprised we didn't notice it earlier.  Thank you people of Philadeliphia!

We Became #1 Top Popular Attraction In Boston!

We are pretty excited that we have reached the top spot on Tripadvisor here Boston, it is by far a really cool thing to achieve and we really have to thank all you Cashunters that made it possible.  Our mission on ever game is to give you the very best live gaming experience there is and so far we are achieveing this and the response has been fantastic!  This 10th season have been full of surprises and each day brings something new and we are ready for each and every challenge that comes our way.  The biggest secret that we have is that we always try to reinvent ourselves so we can all deliver our players a constant fresh product and never make it dull, and that to us is very exciting and also challengeing.  But you cashunters suggest things and we listen and by doing that the experience is always fun result.  We have reached the halfway point of our 10th season and there are some fun things coming our way ie: Cashunt's Haunted Dash in Salem, MA during Haunted H...

Bringin' Sororities Into The Dash!

One of the markets we tested last year and it did pretty well was the Sorority market oddly enough.  It did pretty well because for the sororities it was an ice breaker for new and continueing members.  We of course customized it to fit the organization so it would have a more personal fit to the game.  So after a few tweaks we will be presenting The Soroity Dashunt this September!  It will be introduced in two different ways one as a Sorority vs Sorority competition which we think is a perfect competition to host and our other will be a me completely customized solely to  Soroity so it could be a little educational if the client wants to take it that way.  The games as always will be conducted in Boston and bookings will begin in late August.
