Edhat Staff
March is almost here and you know what that means…. March Edness time!
That’s right, Santa Barbara’s first-ever, ORIGINAL (O.G. if you will) photo hunt game is almost here. Many will try, but no one does it like edhat, and we’re gearing up for another month of scrambling, stressing, and asking strangers on the street, “Do you know where this photo was taken?!?”
For those that are new to edhat/recently discovered what the internet is, March Edness is a fun and highly competitive photo challenge game that questions how well you know your local area. Or just how well you remember details of your surroundings.
Every weekday in March (Monday through Friday), beginning on Monday, March 4th, we’ll post a cropped photo at midnight. You then have until 8:00 pm that same day to guess the location in that photo. The first week we start off easy and then progressively increase the difficulty level through Week 4.
At the end of Week 4, the top three winners will be announced along with their stellar prizes. (They’re pretty good, we promise.)
Since this game is only for paid edhat subscribers, don’t forget to renew your membership to be eligible to play and win sweet prizes.
Below are the rules for the game in their entirety but email us at info@edhat.com with any questions.
