Q&A: “I’m building the world’s most difficult scavenger hunt…”

Notes from Chris

Episode 1869

Let’s go on a scavenger hunt—a really big, difficult one. That’s what today’s listener proposes: the world’s most difficult hunt.

Shoutout to Chris Damianakos from Cashunt, perhaps not the world’s most difficult hunt but one of the longest-running and most successful. We featured Chris way back in Ep. 128 and also in the 100 Side Hustles book.

Will this listener follow in his footsteps … or get lost along the way?

"You've featured a couple of businesses that offer scavenger hunts. I'd like to create one that I call "the world's most difficult hunt." To complete the quest, the winning team will have to visit at least four cities and complete all sorts of absurd and difficult tasks. They need to meet a real celebrity, swim across a river, find a Christmas tree in the middle of summer, and more. The list goes on.

The difficulty is part of the appeal; I don't want to dumb it down because the market is people who are into really hardcore adventures like this. I could see it becoming a reality show one day, but first I need to gain traction. Where would you suggest I start?"
