Readers of the blog who live in Suffolk may already know about a project I've been working on for the last couple of months, and which finally launched this weekend.
The Lowestoft area now has a new Mission:Explore game which can be played by purchasing a special ticket.
Here is the release in the LOWESTOFT JOURNAL.
We were also featured in the EDP.

A new and exciting series of ‘family missions’ will be launched in Lowestoft this week. ‘Mission:Explore Lowestoft’ aims to encourage families to explore the local area by completing treasure hunt style challenges which have been specifically designed around the 106 and 601 bus routes. Being a bus passenger gives you a different view of the world and ‘Mission:Explore Lowestoft’ provides the opportunity for families to visit parts of the town they wouldn’t ordinarily get to see, and learn some new and interesting facts about Lowestoft and its history along the way.
It’s really easy to take part. Families simply purchase a special £10 Mission:Explore day ticket from the bus driver at any bus stop along either the 106 or 601 routes, and in return will be given a ‘mission sheet’ containing various questions and challenges (or you can pick up the ‘mission sheets’ in advance from the tourist information centres or library). Some of the questions and challenges can be answered on the bus journey itself, others will require you to leave the bus at certain stops and go and explore the local parks.
After completing the questions on either of the routes, you can submit your answers via the Mission:Explore website (www.missionexplore.net/reward/lowestoft) or at collection points within the tourist information centres or the library. A prize draw will take place at the end of October 2012 for a range of prizes including digital cameras, binoculars and explorer book packs.
A taster ‘mission’ was handed out at the Airshow, with a great response from family members of all ages.
‘Mission:Explore Lowestoft’ forms part of the ‘Lowestoft Local Links’ project which aims to get more people walking, cycling and using public transport for trips within the town. Both First Group and Anglian Bus who run bus services across Lowestoft are fully supportive of the project, and have offered discounted family day tickets to encourage local people and visitors to take part.
