The LA Treasure Hunt has been rescheduled to Sunday, April 2nd. The event was brought by the founders of Fuck Yeah! Fest and the L.A. Scavenger Hunt and aims to collect more than 10,000 dollars in material goods to benefit The Union Rescue Mission.
The Hunt will consist of 10 clues, each of which will be similar to "Collect 25 can of food, bring to location X." Each team of 4-5 people will pay a 6 dollar entrance fee and will need to supply their own bicycles, a Polaroid camera with film and some sort of messenger bag or backpack. The hunt ends at 7pm and the first team to solve the clues will receive a prize package with over 2,500 dollars in swag from dozens of record labels and clothing lines, and gift certificates to different restaurants and stores in Los Angeles.
Afterwards, all participants are invited to the Echo, for a show featuring Big Business, Darker My Love and Bad Dudes plus one special guest to be announced.
More information about all of this can be found at The L.A. Treasure Hunt webpage.
