A citywide scavenger hunt will be available from 8:03AM - 8:03PM on Saturday, August 1st & Sunday, August 2nd, featuring the Soda City Certified (SCC) app. SCC is Columbia’s only app to promote local restaurants, events, shops, and attractions in the Midlands area. The scavenger hunt will feature 25 sites. We will allow an opportunity for 15 businesses to be featured during the scavenger hunt for $100.00.

HOW IT WORKS

Option One:

You will create a 4-digit pin code. A sign will be placed at your business with instructions utilizing a QR Code. If you would like participants to enter or patronize your establishment, you may ask participants to retrieve the pin code from staff once they have patronized or taken/shared a picture with your business and #803Day. Once they enter the pin code in the Soda City Certified app, they will collect 20 points. (Total possible points: 500)

Option Two:

A sign will be placed outside of your business with a QR Code. Participants will go to the website connected to the QR Code. They will search the page for a 4-digit PIN Code. The pin code will then be entered on the Soda City Certified app to collect 20 points. (Total possible points: 500)
