Main Event, a premier family entertainment destination, is set to open its first Minnesota location at Tamarack Hills (540 Bielenberg Drive) in Woodbury this August. However, the grand opening faces an unexpected hurdle: 10 bowling pins have gone missing just days before the scheduled August 3 opening. The company has launched a community-wide scavenger hunt to recover the pins, offering significant prizes to those who help solve the mystery.
Starting July 19 through July 28, locals can visit https://mainevent.com/woodbury-lost-pins/ for daily clues about the pins' hidden locations throughout Woodbury. Each recovered pin unlocks a VIP invite for five people and a full year of free games. The finder of the special Golden Pin will receive the ultimate prize: Main Event for life.
“We are so excited to bring the Main Event experience to Minnesota, but we need the community's detective skills to help us get our lanes ready for action,” said Michael Frisby, General Manager of the Woodbury Main Event. “We've hidden these pins throughout Woodbury, and we can't wait to see who can track them down and claim their prize before our grand opening on August 3!”
Main Event Woodbury will offer a wide range of activities, including laser tag, bowling, arcade games, and more. Guests can also enjoy a full-service restaurant and bar with menu items such as the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich, Funnel Cake Fries, and drinks like the Cotton Candy Shirley Temple and Margarita Flight. The venue aims to provide a high-energy space for friends and families to engage in interactive games, friendly competition, and quality dining.
This grand opening marks an important expansion for Main Event, which operates over 60 locations in 23 states. Owned by Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc., the brand continues to grow its presence across the United States. The scavenger hunt not only generates excitement but also engages the local community in a unique way, fostering a sense of involvement and anticipation.
For complete rules and eligibility, participants should visit the official Main Event website. The missing pins mystery serves as a clever marketing strategy to draw attention to the new venue while offering tangible rewards to participants. As the August 3 opening approaches, the Woodbury community has a chance to win big by helping Main Event recover its lost bowling pins.
