I've noticed a lack of adventure in my life lately... with so much changing, I have been to sad/busy for fun. Thankfully, in the last few weeks, that has begun to change. The weather is better, I have a fantastic new girlfriend, and I'm getting outdoors again!
I've had success at the new job, and I managed to earn a trip to Madison, WI for an incentive trip. I'm pretty stoked about the urban scavenger hunt they've got setup; well see what the day holds!
We arrived via limo to Madison, and or first stop is the Hyatt Place right downtown. A great start to the day!
We were divided into teams of for, received a list of 22 "Destinations" and 20 "opportunities," and were awarded points accordingly. The Destinations took us along a route within a few block radius of the state capitol, and gave clues like "You would find this bank at the end of a rope tied to a boat." (Anchor Bank). We then had to get a photo of our team giving thumbs up in front of the location or statute, jumping in the air with the capitol in the background, whatever.
The opportunities were a little different. They read clues such as "Get you photo in, next to, our on top of a dumpster" or "get your photo hugging a stranger - that has a beard." We then tested these back to our supervisors who maintained a points spreadsheet.
It turns out that both teams killed it with regards to points & photos. Ultimately, a tie was declared, because of how close and competitive our groups were.
