Beat the Street is now live right across Stockton-on-Tees. Pick up a card and see how many points you can get as we enter into ‘Go Explore’ week. There are some fantastic events happening within our Libraries including treasure hunts, arts & Crafts and fun trails with some fantastic spot prizes up for grabs. There is also triple points on random boxes across the week to encourage you to explore new areas. There is no better time to pick up a card and join the game that everyone is talking about!
The Stockton-on-Tees game runs from 2nd March to 13th April 2022.
What is Beat the Street?
Beat the Street turns towns into giant games. Earn points, win prizes and discover more about your area by walking, running and cycling. All the participants need to do is pick up a Beat the Street card and swipe Beat Boxes across the community within Stockton on Tees.
The Beat the Street game takes place over a 6-week period across the entire Borough. Using game cards, adults and children tap card readers placed on street furniture to get points for journeys. The game is displayed on a website where leader boards contain school, workplace and community teams all on a journey together. There are spot prizes up for grabs and hundreds of pounds worth of vouchers to be won.
