If you're an adventure-seeker, you might've stumbled upon an ad for the "Adventure Challenge"! It's a scratch-off guide for fun activities for you, your partner, family, and friends. 

How many times throughout the pandemic, have you thought, "What are we doing this weekend? There is nothing to do, and no where to go." (being dramatic here) well this guide could be your answer. 

The rules to the Adventure Challenge are simple, you scratch off one of the adventures, but if you do, you HAVE to do what the challenge says. 

( I mean you should. That's the fun part of it.) 

They even have multiple guides for specific people in your life including "for couples, family, and the friends edition". 

One example of the challenge given is: "the helpless baker" where the couple bakes a pie together, blindfolded". 

Not sure I can get the hubs on board with that one, but maybe we can find some local fun. 

Since a lot of these activities can be done in different parts of the world, I thought we could make a Pittsburgh edition "for yinzers" and visitors to the Steel City. 

In no specific order!

Seven Springs

7 Springs screams enough adventure for me, so I'm going to stop scratching for now, but I would love to hear your Pittsburgh "adventure challenge" ideas!
