The Boston Globe: Boston Scavenger Hunt

With subscriptions to newspapers falling faster than a fat man down a flight of stairs, I find the fact that The Boston Globe is using a scavenger hunt, social media and technology to hold a contest and have people learn about the City of Boston.

Know Boston like no one else? Prove it!

If you're a top scorer, you could win one of these great prizes:

• Red Sox Tickets: A pair of Green Monster tickets for a September game
• A romantic gondola ride for two on the Charles River
• 2 Showcase Cinema de Lux tickets to the movie of your choice, plus a $30 concessions voucher
• a $50 Apple iTunes gift card
• Beantown Excursion: A four-pack of tickets for the Beantown Trolley and the Pru's Skywalk Observatory this September
• a $50 gift card to treat yourself to something special!

Top overall scorers in the Boston Globe Trek are entered into a drawing to win one of the above prizes. Game closes on 9/3/10 at 11:59 p.m.. Winners will be notified via e-mail beginning on 9/7/10.
