Buy Blue Springs Passport Challenge

The Chamber has created a Buy Blue Springs Passport Challenge to make holiday shopping even more rewarding and sustainable. Through this challenge, we encourage both locals and visitors to shop local Blue Springs businesses with a multi-week Lil’ Blue Scavenger Hunt. Participants have the chance to win an exclusive participation prize and earn entries into a grand prize drawing for $400 cash. The contest will run November 14 through December 12, 2024. Join the challenge, explore Blue Springs businesses and win!

How to Play

The Buy Blue Springs Passport Challenge will run Friday, November 14 – Thursday, December 12, 2024.

Click here to sign up, or scan the QR code to participate on your phone.

Once signed up, you can view participating businesses on the digital map. The goal is to visit and check-in at as many of the businesses on the map as possible in order to collect points towards entries into the grand prize drawing.

Each business (also referred to as a passport stop) has a unique 4-digit code that participants must enter when checking in on the digital map. These 4-digit codes will be on display in each passport stop.

To check-in at a business, open it’s icon on the map, then click the “Check-In” button and enter the corresponding 4-digit code.

Chamber member passport stops are worth 15 points, and non-member passport stops are worth 10 points. Participants earn one entry into the $400 grand prize drawing for every 25 points they accumulate. For example, 200 points equals 8 entries. The more businesses you check-in at, the more points you earn, and the more entries you get into the grand prize drawing!

Check in at a minimum of 10 businesses and win a FREE Blue Springs tote bag! Prizes can be redeemed while supplies last at the Blue Springs Chamber office at 1000 W. Main Street, Blue Springs, MO 64015.

The Buy Blue Springs initiative was started in 2009 at the suggestion of one of our chamber members, Mark Whitlow of Office Products Alliance.  Our continued goals of the taskforce are:  to partner with local merchants to help shoppers choose local vendors and suppliers to support and sustain the business community and local economy of Blue Springs, to educate business owners and consumers on how buying locally supports city services and general operations by generating multiple taxes, educate the community on how dollars spent in Blue Springs stay in Blue Springs through a multitude of different channels. The committee also promotes tourism in Blue Springs by urging visitors to shop, dine, play and stay in Blue Springs.
