While the\u00a0overall intent of\u00a0Boppn\u2019s events is\u00a0to foster connection and community, there\u2019s a particularly strong incentive for participants: a $4,000 grand prize.\u00a0Along with the abundant bounty,\u00a0participants\u00a0will compete for\u00a0prizes from\u00a0Alice & Wonder, Third Coast Hospitality, Lettuce Entertain You, Four Corners Hospitality, FleetFeet Chicago and more favorite local spots. All participants are welcome to celebrate their gamesmanship during a private afterparty at Joe\u2019s on Weed St<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Inspired by the scavenger hunts of his \u201890s childhood, Boppn CEO and cofounder Jerry Goosenberg wants to recreate those unforgettable stories for the world at large. \u201cThis generation is way more adventurous than people give it credit for,\u201d Goosenberg says. \u201cThe rise of the in-person, sometimes unconventional, events proves it. Our scavenger hunts are designed to bring together friends\u2014and friends of friends of friends\u2014while getting the opportunity to show off and uplift iconic local spots.\u201d<\/p>\n Tickets are limited and cost $33\u2013$40. Boppn will allow teams of fewer than six people to sign up until Wednesday, September 24, and full teams of six to eight people can sign up until capacity (1,200 people) is reached\u2014which is expected.\u00a0Buy tickets and learn more here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What would you do for a shot at $4,000?
