Join us to explore New Haven Retail Stores at your leisure throughout the week, seeking hidden Tweasures and tweeting accordingly.

New Haven has so much to offer anyone who loves to shop and values a combination of quality product and great service.  From Saturday 7/10  through Thursday 7/15 our Retail TweasureHunt will be happening to give you plenty of time to find the Tweasures.

The following retailers will be expecting us starting around 11 am on Saturday 7/10:

  1. Grand Vin, 28 East Grand Avenue. (Check in on Foursquare)
  2. Fairhaven Furniture, 72 Blatchley Avenue.(Check in on Foursquare)
  3. Fashionista, 93 Whitney Avenue. (Check in on Foursquare)
  4. The English Building Markets, 839 Chapel Street. (Check in on Foursquare)
  5. Celtica, 260 College Street. (Check in on Foursquare)
  6. Yale Center for British Art, 1080 Chapel Street. (Check in on Foursquare)
  7. Metaphore, 1092 Chapel Street.(Check in on Foursquare)
  8. Hull's University Art Supply & Framing, 1144 Chapel Street. (Check in on Foursquare)
  9. Trailblazer, 296 Elm Street. (Check in on Foursquare)
  10. Kerin, 268 York Street
  11. Enclave, 23 Broadway

This is how it works:

  1. TweasureHunt maps will be available online and throughout the week at swCT events.
  2. TweasureHunt-ers may visit as many or as few of the participating retail stores throughout the week, as their time allows.
  3. While in a store the TweasureHunt-ers explore and accomplish a requested task.
  4. They report that task via social web including all required information, photos, hashtags etc.
  5. At the end of the day, all TweasureHunt-ers who visited a particular store will be entered into a drawing for the Hidden Tweasure that was donated by that retailer.
  6. The drawing will be taking place shortly after 6pm, at a location to be named later , on Thursday 7/15.  You need not be present to win, but it would simplify the delivery of your Tweasure. We will be Tweeting and Facebooking the winner from each #TweasureHunt retailer and will get your Tweasure to you either way.
