I Double Dog Dare You to Take The Bricktown Challenge

It’s time, my friends, to tell you about a really awesome contest. It’s called The Bricktown Challenge Scavenger Hunt (presented by The Bricktown Water Taxi) and it’s just what you might think it to be: a challenging scavenger hunt.

But this is no ordinary scavenger hunt! This one is in Bricktown. In July. And you could win super cool prizes.

The Grand-Prize is a VIP Bricktown Experience and $1,500 cash. But don’t fret if you don’t win the Grand-Prize – we have other stuff up for grabs including an Xbox 360 console with Kinect, two tickets to see Taylor Swift at the OKC Arena on October 15th and four $50 gift cards to Oklahoma’s Red Dirt Emporium.

Here’s how it works:

1. Sign up now at Wimgo.com/Bricktown or text “Bricktown” to 94646. You’ll receive a text with your first clue and then you can get started.

2. The Challenge must be completed between July 25 and midnight on Sunday, July 31.

3. Winners will be chosen randomly on Monday, August 1 from ALL eligible entries.

Sounds like fun, huh? So grab your kids, grab your wife, grab your cell phone and head down to Bricktown for The Challenge.

Thanks to the following for being so awesome:

Have fun!

Download the Free Wimgo iPhone App

Click here to download the free Wimgo app.

Today I’m APPsolutely (sorry, couldn’t help it) excited to announce the Wimgo iPhone app is now available for download!

Our team has been working tirelessly to bring you an app that has everything you could possibly want. This app is designed to help you find places to go, things to do, and businesses to do business with in your city. Wimgo provides top local recommendations from your trusted friends and family through Facebook, helping you make informed decisions about where to go, shop and dine.

The app allows you to browse through categories and view listings in:

  • Attractions
  • Community Events
  • Health & Beauty
  • Restaurants & Bars
  • Services Shopping

Now, once you choose a category, you have a lot of options. You can narrow results

or search by relevance, likes, popular, coupons, stars, distance, title and date. Choosing any of these options will narrow your results even further to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

Alright, let’s say you browsed Restaurants & Bars and found one that you want more information on. Just click the title and you’ll be taken to a page with reviews and star ratings, the restaurant description, address, phone, map and directions.

Also, click on the ribbon on the right side of the listing. The ribbon works kinda like a priority list, giving you options to favorite, like, save or hide that listing.

Pretty neat, huh?
I’m loving the File Cabinet, which houses all of the things you favorite, like, save and hide (from the ribbon mentioned above).

Okay, click on the “around me” button (at the bottom) and you’ll find everything happening near your current location. You can narrow and sort these results to find anything nearby, including a restaurant, event, or retail store.

As you can see, the Wimgo app has a lot of features. The best way to figure it out is to use it! So, go download it, leave a review for the app and let me know what you think.

Thanks for using Wimgo!
