Our Neighbourhood Scavenger Hunt/Phrase Unscramble

TOURISM CHALLENGE is an annual opportunity to re-educate members of the Tourism industry and for them to enjoy the outstanding attractions, world class hotels and explore the amazing neighbourhoods that our region has to offer, so that we are ready to welcome our guests and SHARE our passion and knowledge.  The Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association (DMRBIA) has signed up for the Day Out category where members will come and explore downtown Maple Ridge. 

HOW CAN DMRBIA MEMBERS PARTICIPATE - we are hosting a scavenger hunt/phrase unscramble!  Tourism Industry members will follow a map that will lists historical sites of our city and DMRBIA member's businesses.  They will come into your place of business and collect a word.  They will then piece the words together (from the landmarks and businesses) and stop at the last business and say the phrase.  If they are correct, their booklets will be stamped.  

If you want your business listed here is the criteria that you will need to meet:

  1. Is your business open at least one day on the weekend (most tourism industry participants check out the attractions/neighbourhoods on weekends)?
  2. Is your business a hidden gem, offering special products that are unique to your industry? 
  3. Are you close to any Maple Ridge landmarks or historical sites?

If so, please click the register link below and we'll be in contact. 

We REQUIRE 4 - 8 members to join us. 

 

Once we have secured members from downtown businesses, we will create a phrase sentence. This phrase sentence will have key words and specific landmark names in it.  Each business will receive a sign with your unique word on it. The sign can be hung in your window on the days that your business is closed.

At the final stop, we will deliver a stamp and the completed phrase. When the tourism industry member comes into this business, they must read out the phrase. If properly given, then the final business will stamp their booklet.  

ALL INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE GIVEN IN WRITTEN FORM TO EACH BUSINESS SO IT CAN BE SHARED WITH ALL STAFF MEMBERS. 

Each business that participates will receive 3 of The 2025 Tourism Challenge booklets that contains discounts and special deals for many attractions, hotels and restaurants, as well as neighbourhood and day outings from local communities all around the Lower Mainland.
