Happy 10th Beyond, my 2nd gift
For my 2nd present for Beyond’s 10th birthday, I’ve decided to do a scavenger hunt, since this is a car related site, I think it’s appropriate that a contest that requires participates to drive around.
In order to pull this off, I was able to enlist a crew of some chilling Beyond bad asses. Together, this is what this activity entails to, should you choose to partake.
This is called: Beyond’s 10 year anniversary scavenger hunt.
The contest:
- There are 10 custom printed Beyond logo Esso gas cards hidden throughout the city.
- Between 5 great game marshals willing to volunteer, the city will be split into 5 sectors (2 cards hidden in each of the 5 sectors)
- The 5 sectors are divided as such: Southeast, Southwest, Northeast, Northwest, Downtown (custom outline)
- Each game marshal will make individual posts providing clues or activities you need to do in order to find the (2) Esso gas cards hidden within their sector.
Some rules the marshals follow:
- The 5 game marshals are in full control of the sector they manage (how the game is written, the procedures, they’ll have final judgement regarding their sector)… I don’t even know where ANY of these cards are hidden, lol…
- There are however, some basic common sense rules the marshals need to obey: Safety/Danger (it has to be reasonably safe, but as a disclaimer: just do NOT continue playing if you ever feel unsafe or your or anyone’s safety is at risk), that goes for common sense of course (i.e. they can’t hide the cards underneath an overpass on Deerfoot), Height of the hiding spots are at arm’s reach and they can’t bury the cards (they can put it on ground level and put something on top, but can’t start digging up shit), the gaming grounds are FREE access to the public and designed (“recommended”) to be play during business hours (so don’t expect breaking into a place middle of the night, and you won’t have to pay to go to the Zoo or something to check out a lead), Spots won’t discriminate based on sex, age, religion, gender. (i.e. can’t hide in a place of worship in the chicks bathroom)
Location boundaries:
- The location boundaries the marshals are allowed.
- Downtown: 17 Avenue SW – 14 Street SW – Memorial Drive NE – 12 Street NE – 8 Street/Spiller Road SE – Macleod Trail SE.
- The 4 corner quadrants (subtract the downtown area): We’ll base it on the City of Calgary website www.calgary.ca type “Quadrant” in search, it’ll be the red/orange outlined area based on that.
The game marshals: (they'll each make an individual post on clues how you'd be able to find these cards, once they post them, then I’ll edit their links beside their names here)

The prize:
- Each of these Esso cards will be worth a load up of $100 (one hundred dollars)
- You are allow to participant for all 10 cards (so potentially $1,000 worth of gas)
- And FYI, the “B” logo is not some sticker or local print shop on a regular Esso card. It took me some time to get approval for this straight from Esso corporation (I didn’t design the card or blue “swirls” though, and the logo had to be black). So yea, these 10 cards are limited edition.
To claim prize:
- Once you find one of these Esso cards, using your Beyond user account, post the exact location where you’ve found it (some pics showing the location and surroundings would be cool)
- Then send me a PM of the activation code in the back of your card, then I’ll load you up with $100 bucks.
- Simple as that.
So this is the best I can come up with, hope everyone who participants will be safe out there and have fun. Welcome to post your progress, I love being entertained, it’s like watching my own version of the amazing race unfold. Funnier if people start getting speeding tickets because of this… (NOT encouraging anyone to purposely get a violation ticket or break any laws though).
Once again, I’d like to thank the volunteering game marshals doing this for myself, as well as everyone participating in this game. (they’ve also sacrificed themselves not being able to play). Their time, their creativity, efforts in the actual planning, execution and placement of the cards are what made this all possible. Definitely a huge round of applaud to our game marshals.
Of course, thanks for everyone involved making this site possible… Rage2, Kenny, Admin, the mods, other sponsors, the mixture of members having difference in opinions.
