Organizing a large-scale Lucky Pikas treasure hunt is an exciting project! Here's how you might prioritize your contacts and actions:
1. Start with a Clear Plan
- Define the event structure: Include rules, challenges, timelines, prizes, and player expectations.
- Budgeting: Estimate costs for prizes, trophies, props, hosting, and legal services.
- Outline roles: Determine what tasks will require sponsors, experts, agents, and legal help.
2. Sequence of Contacts
a. Scavenger Hunt Expert (First Contact)
- Why first? They can help design the treasure hunt, ensuring it’s engaging and logistically feasible.
- Role: Collaborate with you on creating an exciting treasure hunt structure that aligns with the Lucky Pikas theme.
- Suggested action: Research professionals or agencies specializing in large-scale treasure/scavenger hunts. Some might offer consulting packages.
b. Sponsors (Second Contact)
- Why second? You need funding or prize support early to ensure the event’s financial viability.
- Potential sponsors:
- Crypto companies (e.g., exchanges or blockchain projects) interested in marketing to your audience.
- Businesses aligning with gaming, collectibles, or lifestyle themes.
- Local businesses willing to sponsor in exchange for promotion.
- Pitching tips:
- Prepare a proposal outlining benefits for sponsors (e.g., brand exposure, live event promotion, etc.).
- Be clear about the visibility they'll get during the event, including logos on livestreams, trophies, and props.
c. Influencer Agent/Hosts (Third Contact)
- Why third? Once the event structure and sponsors are clear, you’ll know the exact role of hosts and commentators.
- Role of agents: Help you identify and recruit influencers or talent for hosting.
- Costs: Many influencer agents work on a percentage commission but may require upfront fees for sourcing high-profile talent.
d. Legal Services
- Why now? You’ll need contracts ready before officially hiring talent or finalizing sponsorships.
- Tasks for a lawyer:
- Draft contracts for service providers, sponsors, and talent.
- Review terms of cryptocurrency giveaways to ensure compliance with local laws.
- Ensure intellectual property rights for Lucky Pikas are protected.
3. Prize Structuring
- Crypto vs. cash: Offer both options but establish clear terms for distribution.
- Partial winnings: Ensure the rules around reduced payouts (e.g., if players don't complete the hunt in time) are transparent and legally sound.
4. Virtual Office or Clubhouse
- Research platforms or coworking spaces for hosting livestreams/recorded shows. Some options include:
- Zoom with studio setups for virtual commentary.
- WeWork, Regus, or other coworking spaces with meeting room options for physical gatherings.
Next Steps
- Contact a scavenger hunt expert for initial consultation and design help.
- Develop a sponsorship proposal and reach out to crypto, gaming, and lifestyle companies.
- Begin the legal process by hiring a lawyer to draft contracts.
- Approach influencer agents to identify potential hosts.
- Secure a venue or platform for the event.
