The Greatest Adventure on Earth is a 3-year global scavenger hunt where participants search for clues, solve puzzles, and complete challenges that will reveal a route to the most amazing places on Earth, and ultimately to a hidden $1 million prize. The company just launched its fundraising campaign on Wefunder and has already raised over $100,000. Learn more about The Greatest Adventure on Earth from the founders directly and how you can become a co-owner for as little as $500.

Part mystery trip. Part escape room. Part social travel experience.

THE CALL TO ADVENTURE: We’ve hidden $1 Million somewhere in the world. Each year participants receive clues and puzzles that they’ll need to solve to reveal the countries they must travel to in order to complete their quest.

3 YEARS | 3 CONTINENTS: Each year, participants visit a different continent, where they’ll explore new cities, sample exotic cuisines, and immerse themselves in natural and cultural points of interest. Along the way, they’ll forge lifelong friendships, give back to local communities, and take part in hands-on eco-friendly charity projects that offset their personal carbon emissions.

FLEXIBLE PARTICIPATION: The event is designed for maximum accessibility. Participants can choose when they travel (between April 15 – January 15), who they travel with (Solo, Pairs, Teams), and how much travel they want to commit to, (1 – 3 Years). They’ll only need 2-3 weeks of vacation time to compete each year.

PRIZES: Year 1 will have $100,000 worth of prize money, Year 2 will have $250,000 worth of prize money, and Year 3 will have $1,000,000 worth of prize money. There will also be “Secret Side Missions” hidden along the route, with prizes worth $250,000.

SUSTAINABLE: During their travels, participants will donate their time and money to offset their personal carbon emissions, and give back to local communities. Over the course of three years, we’ll partner with three local charities, one on each continent, to make this possible, and to ensure maximum impact and transparency.

POST MVP: We created a 15-day pilot event called The Wakati Challenge, which had participants race from Cape Town to Zanzibar using nothing but public transportation. The first team to cross the finish line won $15,000. More than 15,000 people from all over the world showed interest in the event, which sold out in under 48 hours with no paid media spend.

SCALABLE: High-growth verticals including city-based events (based on a Tough Mudder / Color Run model), global accommodation services (Airbnb for the Adventurous), and branded content series (The Amazing Race meets Twitch).

“We’re pioneers of the adventure travel industry. We live and breathe this space, see where it’s headed, and are passionate about sharing a sense of thrill, wonder and adventure with the world—around the world.”
