GoRaleigh Busopoly
GoRaleigh is excited to launch its Busopoly Marketing Campaign in July 2023. The campaign encourages residents of Raleigh, NC and the surrounding area to “Go with GoRaleigh” through a nostalgic design that incorporates a twist on the classic board game.
Through a design concept that appeals to many, both young and old, the campaign will urge people to use GoRaleigh no matter where they “Go”. From exploring all the City of Oaks has to offer such as concerts, parks, restaurants, shopping and events to education opportunities at local museums, libraries and schools, you can “Go” with the GoRaleigh Busopoly campaign.
The campaign will feature four different “Go” seasons where riders can earn points by riding the bus through an app based Busopoly game. Riders can earn prizes throughout the different seasons: Go Play (Summer), Go Learn (Fall), Go Shop (Winter) and Go Work (Spring).
With suspended fares continuing through June 2024, you can ride to all of these places you already frequent for free.
No matter where life takes you, Go with GoRaleigh! Learn more at GoRaleigh.org.
Play Busopoly with GoRaleigh!
GoRaleigh is launching a fun, bus centric game to challenge riders to explore more routes and new parts of the city. The game will start Friday, September 1, but players can join now to be ready for the first day. To play there are just a few easy steps you need to take.
- Download the Eventzee App from the Apple Store or Google Play Store and create an account.
- After creating an account enter code GoRaleigh to join the Busopoly game. Please enter code exactly as typed.
- There are a total of seven routes in this game. The routes include #1, #2, #6, #7 #8, #11 and #19. Each route has a unique QR code, attached to four different major stops per route. Each day stop by and scan the QR code at the designated bus stops. More information on which stops have QR codes can be found below or in the game. You can scan a QR code once per route each day. Each scan is worth five points. Therefore, if a player visits all seven routes, they can earn a maximum of 35 points.
- The top three players at the end of the campaign on September 30 will receive a prize, a visa gift card.
To give additional opportunities for points there will be other types of challenges scattered throughout the campaign (i.e. trivia questions). For any questions about Busopoly or about GoRaleigh please contact GoRaleigh@RaleighNC.gov.
