#xgameshunt

Although it’s only April, June is coming up on us fast! Last August, the Austin Nightlife office went nuts when it was announced that the XGames would be coming to Austin. The “Alternative” part of Fun Fun Fun Fest is my favorite, so you can image how excited I was to hear that an entire event dedicated to extreme sports would be coming to Central Texas!

GET YE TICKETS HERE!

So, lets start in the logical place, with the event that’s closed out for Austin. (I know my logic is skewed. Just bare with me, it’s not that random.)

"Y’all ready for this? We’re hosting the first-ever #XGamesHunt, a ridiculous scavenger hunt that’s going down on April 27 in Austin, San Antonio, and Houston! Competitions in each city will have teams scouring for answers to 100 clues, all leading you to a wrap party in each city where prizes are awarded to the top 3 teams in each city. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP

To keep things from getting too nuts, we’re limiting the hunt to 50 teams of two-four people in each city, so get some friends together ASAP! Be sure to read over the rules first. The X Games Hunt, is a scavenger hunt for all sorts of prizes.

FIRST PLACE gets reserved tickets to X Games, X Games Austin hats, and X Games Austin skate decks.

SECOND PLACE gets Experience tickets to X Games Austin and X Games Austin hats.

THIRD PLACE gets Experience tickets to X Games Austin and X Games rally towel.

AND, although the scavenger hunt is closed is Austin, you can still play in Houston and San Antonio!

Ok! So, SIGN UP LIKE NOW!
