Edinburgh Leisure scavenger hunt competition with 'year's free membership' prize

Edinburgh Leisure has launched a competition that will see capital residents have the chance to win a year’s free membership.

‘The Edinburgh Leisure Pin Drop’ will run from July 17-28 and will see six free Edinburgh Leisure memberships given to competition winners.

To be in with a chance of winning, participants have to be able to locate a branded box featuring a pink geolocation that will be ‘pin dropped’ somewhere in Edinburgh.

They will have to take this to the nearest venue with the first victorious person winning either a Full Fitness, Climb, Golf or Single Child Soft Play membership.

Over the duration of the competition, Edinburgh Leisure will be ‘dropping a pin’ in six different locations around the city and sharing some clues and photos on their social media channels, on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Participants will have two hours to find the box from 11am when the clue is posted on social media.

The person who finds the box then has until Edinburgh Leisure’s participating venues close on the same day to redeem their prize.

Venue closing times vary, so people should check closing times of their closest venue.

Participants are encouraged to tag Edinburgh Leisure in their Edinburgh Leisure Pin Drop posts on social media and use the hashtag #WhereverYoureAt.

Pins will be dropped at 11am on the following days during the competition:

  • Monday, 17th July 2023
  • Wednesday, 19th July 2023
  • Friday, 21st July 2023
  • Monday 24th July 2023
  • Wednesday, 26th July 2023
  • Friday, 28th July 2023

“Our fun Pin Drop competition highlights the range and breadth of our venues across the city as well as giving the people of Edinburgh the opportunity to explore our city, be it on public transport or through active travel.
