While you can always count on entertaining music, yummy food, and talented vendors at the Doylestown Arts Fest, this year the festival is going techie with a twist, hosting a town-wide scavenger hunt using the revolutionary Microsoft tag technology.

Now, if techie talk sounds like Greek to you don't worry; using tag technology is as simple as snapping a picture on your phone (literally).  All you need is one team member with a smart phone to download the tag application at http://gettag.mobi. Then use that phone to snap pictures of tags, like the one shown to the right here, and your phone will bring you to the next clue.  You can actually test your phone by snapping a picture of the tag shown to the right, which will direct you to the rules and regulations of the scavenger hunt.

At 4pm, both Saturday, September 11th and Sunday, September 12th, teams will get the chance to race around town to snap all 7 tags for the chance to win big prizes*, including:

  • Four Microsoft Xbox 360 S – game consoles
    • Integrated Flash Memory 4 GB
    • Input Device Game pad – wireless
    • Connectivity Features WiFi (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n)
    • Included Game Console Accessories Composite AV cable, Xbox Live headset
  • Gift Certificates to Villa Capri, Rutherford’s Cameras, Raymer’s Homemade Candies, Paint and Pottery, Smokin Lil's
  • 3 toys from Busy Bee Toys
