Main Event, the family entertainment center, is facing an unusual challenge ahead of its grand opening in Woodbury, Minnesota, on August 3: 10 bowling pins have gone missing. The missing shipment never reached its final destination at the new venue located at Tamarack Hills (540 Bielenberg Drive), prompting the company to enlist the community's help in tracking them down.
From July 19 through July 28, locals can visit the official lost pins page for daily clues about where the pins are hidden throughout Woodbury. Each recovered pin unlocks a VIP invite for five and a full year of free games. The grand prize, awarded to whoever finds the Golden Pin, is Main Event for life.
"We are so excited to bring the Main Event experience to Minnesota, but we need the community's detective skills to help us get our lanes ready for action," said Michael Frisby, General Manager of the Woodbury Main Event. "We've hidden these pins throughout Woodbury, and we can't wait to see who can track them down and claim their prize before our grand opening on August 3!"
Main Event Woodbury will offer a range of entertainment options, including laser tag, bowling, arcade games, and more. Guests can also enjoy a full-service restaurant and bar featuring dishes such as the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich, Funnel Cake Fries, and drinks like the Cotton Candy Shirley Temple and Margarita Flight. The venue aims to provide a high-energy space for friends and families to enjoy interactive games, friendly competition, and great food and drinks.
The scavenger hunt not only builds excitement for the grand opening but also engages the local community in a unique way. By turning the missing pins into a game, Main Event highlights its brand promise of fun and entertainment. The promotion also generates buzz on social media and drives traffic to the website for daily clues.
