What kind of experience are you looking for?
And which city?
ChangeArt Deco facade pose
Tennyson Street is one of the densest stretches of Art Deco architecture in the world. Find a striking facade (the Daily Telegraph, the Municipal Theatre, the T&G building) and take a group photo with the team posed under the sunburst or chevron pattern.
Art Deco hat moment
The Art Deco Trust shop and several Tennyson Street boutiques sell vintage-style hats, scarves and cigarette holders. Try one on per teammate and take a group photo where the team poses in 1930s glamour.
Checkpoint: Marine Parade Soundshell
Walk east one block to Marine Parade and check in at the Soundshell, the open-air bandstand on the foreshore.

Walk south along Marine Parade to the National Aquarium of New Zealand and check in at the entrance.
Checkpoint: Tennyson Street
Navigate to Tennyson Street in the Napier CBD and check in by the Art Deco Trust shop or the Daily Telegraph building.
Daily Telegraph building shot
The Daily Telegraph building on Tennyson Street is one of Napier's finest Art Deco gems. Find the front facade and take a group photo with the team posed in front, mimicking the geometric symmetry.
Hawke's Bay plate
Hawke's Bay produces some of NZ's best lamb, stone fruit and seafood. Order a plate at Mister D, Bistronomy or any cafe (the lamb shoulder, the Hawke's Bay platter, a Bostock's chicken sandwich) and take a group photo with everyone taking the first bite at the same time.
Hawke's Bay wine toast
Hawke's Bay is one of New Zealand's premier wine regions, famous for Syrah and Chardonnay. Order a glass at any Napier wine bar (Mister D, Bistronomy, Pacifica) and take a group photo with everyone holding their glass up in a toast.
Local Napierite tip
Convince a local Napier resident to share a tip about the city. Take a photo with your impromptu guide and remember the tip.
Marine Parade fountain shot
The Tom Parker Fountain on Marine Parade lights up at night in changing colours. Find the fountain (or any of the Parade's smaller fountains) and take a group photo with the spray behind the team.
Napier finale
Final challenge. Find a beautiful Napier spot (Marine Parade at golden hour, the Soundshell at dusk, a sunlit Art Deco facade) and take an amazing closing group photo. Kia ora from the Art Deco capital!
Napier kick-off
The hunt begins! Find a classic Napier backdrop (a sunburst over a doorway, a chevron facade, a Norfolk pine on Marine Parade) and take a group photo with the whole team in shot.
Norfolk pines walk
Marine Parade is lined with Norfolk pines that survived the quake. Walk the boulevard and take a group photo where the team walks toward the camera with the pines arching overhead.
Pania of the Reef pose
On Marine Parade stands the small bronze of Pania of the Reef, a Maori legendary figure who is to Napier what the Little Mermaid is to Copenhagen. Find Pania and take a respectful group photo with the team posed alongside.
Soundshell pose
