Scavenger Hunt Encourages Charlotte Locals to “Explore Your 704”

Scavenger Hunt Encourages Charlotte Locals to “Explore Your 704”

Explore Your 704 is a Clean Graffiti Scavenger Hunt, powered by OrthoCarolina, promoting city-pride and has weekly winners.

A Clean Graffiti scavenger hunt. This has been on our bucket list for at least 4 years now. Sure, a traditional scavenger hunt could have happened at any time, but we’re anything but traditional. Working alongside our awesome client, OrthoCarolina, we have created the first ever Clean Graffiti scavenger hunt called “Explore Your 704.” And it’s pretty epic.

Explore Your 704 is a scavenger hunt using Clean Graffiti throughout Charlotte. Contest runs Oct. 10- Nov. 10.

WHAT IS EXPLORE YOUR 704
Explore Your 704 is the first scavenger hunt of its kind in Charlotte, NC. We created three graphic designs in partnership with Gustave Soto, local Charlotte graphic designer. We then translated those designs into our custom stencils to use for the Clean Graffiti portion. If you’re unfamiliar with Clean Graffiti, we clean an image onto a dirty sidewalk with a pressure washer. Don’t worry, it’s just water). This Scavenger Hunt was a way to make a game of exploring the Queen City’s finest neighborhoods.

Explore Your 704 is your chance to get out, explore Charlotte and win tons of great prizes. Check out ExploreYour704.com or more details.

THE GAME:
Twelve clues will guide you to three different sidewalk art images that exude city-pride. Each of the three images will be labeled (1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3) and there are 4 unique locations per image. (check out this link to download the pdf with all of the hints). Your mission is to use the clues to find these Clean Graffiti images. Snap a photo and upload to Instagram using #ExploreYour704. Each individual photo posted is considered an entry to win (aka you do not have to find all three to be a winner).

Here is what the images look like:

Hygge now has Moss Art

Hygge Owner, Garrett Tichy (lt) and new Chief Strategy Officer, Brittany Yoho (rt) in front of the custom Moss Art by #thesavageway.

Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) is a coworking community in Charlotte, NC. They have been crushing the game, opening their third location in just a few years. When owner, Garrett Tichy, approached us about creating a custom Moss Art piece for their original location on 809 W. Hill Street, the decision was well, easy.

This piece was a large install. It was a total of 16 circles in a variety of sizes, along with a 36″ moss rendition of Hygge’s signature tagline, “easy.” on a brand specific yellow painted wall that measured 63″ x 74″.

We loved how it turned out. When you head to Hygge for one of their many awesome community events, make sure to snap a picture and let us know!
