Shop MoVal Citywide Scavenger Hunt Begins!

Win $100! Discover your community! Participate in Moreno Valley’s first citywide Scavenger Hunt! The Scavenger Hunt begins Wednesday, September 26, 2012 and runs through October 17, 2012. This is a fun and FREE way to explore the City.

As part of the expansion of the Shop MoVal program, the Scavenger Hunt leads participants in a “hunt” throughout the city to learn more about Moreno Valley and the variety of organizations and businesses that provide the amenities, products and services they need. There are 30 possible locations to “hunt.” However, only 10 are required for participation in the $100 cash prize drawing. You will receive one Cash Prize Drawing entry for each 10 Scavenger Hunt items found, for up to 3 drawing entries if all 30 items are found. Ten participants in each Scavenger Hunt will win a $100 cash prize.

For information including rules, instructions, and the Scavenger Hunt list, visit the MoVal Rewards section of the Shop MoVal webpage at: http://www.moval.org/shopmoval/.

MoVal Deals
Businesses and consumers can now go to www.MoValDeals.org to take advantage of the City’s free online group coupon program. Consumers enjoy discounts at participating businesses and businesses enhance their marketing efforts and attract customers at no cost.

Businesses can sign up to participate at two levels, with discounts totally driven by the businesses:

• “Daily Deals” – Businesses offer discounts of any value for any length of time.
• “Big Deal” – Businesses offer discounts valued at a 50% savings (or better) for a limited time or in a limited quantity.

The www.MoValDeals.org website identifies all participating Moreno Valley businesses and their discount offers. Consumers display their downloaded MoVal Deals consumer card (printed copies and smartphone images are accepted) to redeem a “Daily Deal.” The card is available for download at http://www.movaldeals.org/about-us/moval-deals-card/. Shoppers who sign-up to take advantage of a “Big Deal” obtain a coupon for the deal. No payment is required through the website.

Chomp MoVal
Similar to Man Vs. Food and hosted by City Manager Henry Garcia, this episode-format television show introduces viewers to Moreno Valley’s finest local restaurants. Each episode will have its own creative content based on the restaurant’s offerings and will feature guest “stunt-eaters” to help with food challenges. The first episode will air this fall on MVTV-3’s television channel #3 and will be posted on the MVTV-3 YouTube page at http://www.youtube.com/user/mvtv3morenovalley.

The Shop MoVal campaign additions will be rolled-out in phases over the coming months. Shoppers can subscribe to www.MoVaDeals.org to automatically receive notices as new deals and Scavenger Hunts become available. For more information, call 951-413-3460.
