Bert’s GoodQuest Challenge

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

world-map_previewThe Elf Island community is working diligently on Bert’s GoodQuest and making a lot of progress. Through this GoodQuest, islanders are trying to help send kids with chronic and terminal illnesses on a trip of a lifetime through Bert’s Big Adventure.

As an extra GoodQuest incentive, Elf Island is challenging all elves to visit at least 50 destinations over the coming weekend (Friday, October 23 through Sunday, October 25). All elves that visit at least 50 destinations during this time will receive a Bert’s GoodQuest Map, with a repeat prize for every additional 50 destinations visited. If we meet our GoodQuest Goal, members who have visited at least 25 destinations will earn a QuestKey and will be helping to do GOOD in the real world!

Come on Elf Island, we can do it. Keep on Gaming for Good!

Prizes for the promotion will be awarded by Tuesday, October 27.
