We also have fun weekly contests for our community; a “Dragon Coloring Contest” and a “Dragon Cosplay Costume” contest.
Get Your Passport, and Start Hunting Dragons!
Beginning August 8th through August 28th, by making a minimum purchase of $10.00 at any of the listed Redmond establishments, you will earn a stamp on your “passport.” If you forgot to get a stamp or you visited any Redmond restaurant or retail establishment not on the list, save and submit your receipt in lieu of a stamp!
Exciting incentives: The first 100 entries will receive a $25.00 gift card at Redmond Town Center! The next 100 entries will receive a $10.00 gift card at Redmond Town Center. One gift card per person award. Multiple entries do not qualify for additional gift cards. Winners will be notified. Gift cards will be available for pick up August 30 – September 30. For the “frequent flyer” — the player who visits the most Redmond establishments — you will win the grand prize of an overnight stay at the Archer Hotel Redmond!
For every 5 stamps, your name will be entered to win one of many prizes donated by our Redmond businesses. Fast track your passport stamps by staying overnight at Archer Hotel Redmond or Seattle Marriott Redmond; submit your hotel receipt here for an automatic entry to the drawing!
Completed Passport Game card to be scanned and submitted here. You can continue playing and fill out as many Passport Game cards as you want to increase your chances of winning!
