612 POAP Challenge June Update
Welcome to the first update for the 612 POAP Challenge! 👋
I came up with the idea for the 612 POAP Challenge over Memorial Day weekend and quickly became obsessed with making it real. Just a few days later, I launched it and it's been so cool to see folks exploring Minneapolis and collecting POAPs! 📍
The hardest part of this challenge is getting the word out. Please take a moment to share it with friends. The more people know about it, the more fun it becomes for everyone!
I've heard from multiple people that the challenge is a blast! It is a giant scavenger hunt. Many have gotten their kids involved as well! With two more months left I'd hate for folks to miss out on the chance to play.
See more on Sharing, the new Explorer Award, Moments, and the current Leaderboard!
Have a great summer collecting locations in Minneapolis!
How to share?
Not sure what to say? Here is a message you can use to tell others about the event.
Looking for a fun way to explore Minneapolis this summer? Check out the 612 POAP Challenge -- a citywide scavenger hunt using digital collectibles (POAPs) that you can claim by visiting spots around town.
There are 33 POAPs hidden at landmarks, bridges, lakes, and even a couple of surprise locations. It's like digital geocaching meets local adventure. The challenge runs through Labor Day, and it's open to anyone.
Great for weekend walks, bike rides, or just discovering new parts of the city.

Thank you! 👍
Explorer Award: A New Way to Win!
Some locations were getting claimed within days of launch, and I realized we needed a way to reward those speedy explorers that are the first to go and claim locations. The Explorer Award was created!
I've sent this to the 8 players that have so far claimed 31 of the 33 locations. Congrats!
There are only two more locations that have yet to be claimed in the game — so only one or two more folks will be able to be Explorers!
The first to claim First Avenue or Target Headquarters will get an Explorer Award! 🧭
Moments!
When you claim a location in the 612 POAP Challenge it is super fun to attach a photo to it with POAP Moments! I love seeing the images that folks are sharing.
Awesome! 📸

We do have two players that have collected Collection Awards as well!
This is a great start to the event! I wonder how many will Collect them All?
Thanks again for playing and being part of this fun Summer activity! I hope you are having as much fun as I am with it.
Also thanks again for spreading the word and sharing this with others. That is truly appreciated.
The challenge runs through Labor Day — that’s two more months of exploring, collecting, and maybe even earning a special award. Let’s see how many people can complete the full set! 🏁
Cheers,
