Meet The Locals: A Rewarding Scavenger Hunt
We believe that small businesses should be seen, a lot.
We believe small businesses shouldn’t have to compete with big budget brands and corporations.
We believe small businesses deserve their own space with a “Human” first style marketing.
We know that small businesses are as special and unique as they are, because of the people behind them.
And, we know that when people get to know the people behind the small businesses, that they will become lifelong customers and create more thriving communities.
That’s why we offer “Discover Local” scavenger hunt profiles with a human first, business second focus.
These profiles let the public connect with you and your team, with an easy template builder, direct links, mini gallery, searchable tags, and special discovery wheels.
Priced at just $39, these profiles are good for the rest of 2026 and ALL of 2027. It’s time we put humanity back into business in a big way, by supporting small.

FAQ’s
Meet The Local profiles are best suited for single owner small businesses and makers, but couples / partners fit well also. To be eligible you must reside and operate in CT. To determine if what you offer is a good fir for this style ask yourself “Would getting to know me, help a person make the decision to choose my business? I want to have a great connection with my life coach but I could care less about the personality of my brain surgeon.
Who Should Register A Profile?
1
Existing marketing efforts all focus on a “pay more get more” approach. The more you pay, the higher you rank in the results and the more likely you are to be seen. Our directory charges one flat fee and gives everyone the equal chance to be seen through games like discovery wheels and scavenger hunts. People choose you based on the content of what you provide, not on how much money you have to spend on advertising.
What Does “Human First” Mean?
2
Full details of the game will be released closer to the launch date in January, but essentially will include publicly releasing a game board with a set amount of clues. Answers can be found in the online profiles and players will record the clue code on the profile to “complete” an entry. The fastest one to complete the game board wins a prize and additional prizes will be issued through random drawing, with each answer submitted an entry into the drawing. New games will begin a few weeks after the completion of the previous one.

Do I Need A Physical Location?
4
Absolutely not. You must reside and operate in CT but you do not need a physical location. If you have one it should be included on your profile. However these profiles are fantastic for people without a physical location and minimal online presence. Your webpage serves as an incredibly affordable mini website that works 24 / 7 for you.
What Does It Cost?

Before January 2027, profiles cost just $39 for all of 2027 (and the rest of 2026). Profiles will be added to the searchable directory and included in the scavenger hunt games throughout 2027 and discovery wheels that help guide players to the answers they need to complete their game boards.
