RIM did a cool BlackBerry promotion this weekend in Boston. I signed up with a friend for Destination Alcatraz., which took place over weekend at Faneuil Hall in Boston.
What is the BlackBerry Curve Challenge: Destination Alcatraz? Good question! You will be tested in a scavenger hunt-style race where you’ll need to test your physical and mental muscles in a series of challenges, in order to complete the race. You will be given a series of locations with different challenges at each point; it is up to you to choose the order in which you complete them. The team that completes the most in the shortest time will win the challenge! Get ready to hit the streets for the BlackBerry Curve Challenge: Destination Alcatraz!
The scavenger hunt took 5.5 hour, featuring 12 locations including Fenway park, bunker Hill Monument and Harvard Square. My legs are still sore.
I would do the event again in a heartbeat. Scavenger hunts are a great way to learn thing about Boston even I, after living here on and off for almost 20 years, never knew.
