The Goosechase Hike ‘n Honk, presented by Cotopaxi, Launches April 3rd, 2023

 

Howdy fellow Nest’rs! 🪺

We’ve got a special contest event exclusively for our community members (that’s you): a Goosechase Experience of our very own brought to you in part by our fine feathered friends at Cotopaxi.

 

Who knew a goose and a llama were a match made in heaven? Well…we did. Cotopaxi is all about inspiring people to explore and do good, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with them to get you ready for epic adventuring.

 

The Goosechase Hike ‘n Honk, presented by Cotopaxi, will kick off on April 3, 2023, and you’ll have the entire month of April to complete Missions and accumulate points for your chance to make it to the top of the leaderboard and win weekly prizes.  

 

Here's how it works:

  • Create and fill out your profile on The Nest, the community for Goosechase creators
    • (Pro-Tip: make sure your profile has your real name and photo)
  • Download the latest version of the Goosechase app
  • Use the Join Code: J4PE5M, And Password: THENEST, to join the fun
  • Complete Missions and score points for your chance to win great prizes (and do some good)

 

What could you win?

Each Cotopaxi pack is one-of-a-kind, be prepared for a total surprise!

 

I’m so excited about this experience and partnership. A month of fun missions, great prizes, only for members of The Nest community. Get those phones charged up, tie those shoes tight and get ready for a Honk’n good time!

@CatRush It’s going to be a really fun month for sure. And without patting myself on the back too too much, I think we came up with a really cool way to use Goosechase to educate, do some good, and have some fun!

@Kris An adaptation of a little cheer my kids used to do. I think it goes with this collaboration.  And YES, there are hand motions that go with this.

Happy llama.  Sad llama.  Overly excited llama. Super llama. Drama llama.  Big, bad mama llama.  Goose!

Howdy fellow Hike ‘n Honkers

 

What an absolutely incredible month long event! I’m actually a little sad to see it finally come to an end, but what I’m feeling even more than sad is gratitude and excitement. I’m so grateful for all 170 of you you who participated in this inaugural Goosechase run Community event, and I am so excited by how much effort everyone put into this experience (over 2500 submissions - no small feat for me to like everyone of those but I think I did it?!) . Safe to say that there will be more of these events in the future, so stay tuned!

Now before announcing the winners, I wanted to give a special shout out to the sponsors of the HnH our good friends from Cotopaxi who made this possible with amazing prizes and help with thoughtful Do Good Missions to keep the fun going all month long.

Based on the Leaderboard from the HnH, it’s pretty clear on who our top 20 and after confirming that everyone in the Top 20 in fact has a profile here in The Nest, I’m happy to announce our winners!

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆Congratulations to...🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Thank you! Lots of fun!!

You’re so very welcome @Cscantland (Chels) + @Allen980349 (Chris). It was my pleasure and so much run. Full transparency, this was my very first large Goosechase that I’ve run. I’ve done a few small ones in my neighbourhood for my kids and for our local elementary school but this was the first time more than 2 people saw it and also such an overwhelmingly positive response!

Thanks to @Kris and everyone else who helped organize this experience! It was a lot of fun and I learned some cool facts (like the Grand Canyon being larger than Rhode Island 😲 and that I can find pink rattlesnakes there!) and got some serious wanderlust for Yosemite. The biggest challenge was looking for a spotted owl, but i liked how difficult it was because I got so excited when I actually found one! Overall, I enjoyed poking around Google Maps trying to find the exact image asked for or just exploring the beautiful surroundings, and I loved all the trivia ☺️

Reposting the message I just sent via the Experience Manager to all HnH Participants below:

 

Last message from the HnH Team!

And, if you liked the HnH, I would really appreciate 2 min of your time to provide some feedback on your experience. It's a 2 min survey and will help us make it even better next time!

Thank you again @Kris and Cotopaxi for putting on this experience. This an incredibly well put together Goosechase that was both fun and educational (some of these locations have ended up on an itenerary). The work you put in really showed! This was just an overall amazing game and was super fun. I really enjoyed all of the Bonus, 24 hour, missions as they kept me thinking of not only how I can do some good, but also be creative in getting them done quickly. Also seeing how other participants compelted theirs was a really cool addition. You caused a lot of good to be done in one little game. Super cool. 

Thanks again, and I look forward to the next experience.
