HOW TO CARRY OUT APPRO 🎃
In the Approventure event there are two main goals:
1) Accomplishing approventurer levels
2) Achieve a treasure-like bounty
Both are gained as overall badges. So, get ready to go around the city center of Kuopio discovering the bars and hunting the stamps for appro passports! 🧭🤠 With the same passport you can gain both the approventurer badge and a bounty badge, so they aren’t mutually exclusive. However, with the same passport you can receive maximum of one approventurer badge and one bounty badge.

🤠 The approventurer badges are dependent on the former levels achieved. You must accomplish approventurer levels in particular order, so first you must accomplish 8 stamps that equal the first level approventurer badge. Next time when participating you’re able to pursue the second level badge which requires more stamps to collect, etc.

💎 Bounty badges on the other hand are different from approventurer badges in the sense that the ability to obtain a certain badge is not dependent of any previous or future participations of the event. In Approventure, you have the possibility to receive either the 14 stamp Emerald bounty badge or 18 stamp Ruby bounty badge, but not both of them.

😈 Trick or Treat passport
If you want to challenge yourself even more, you can get a Trick or Treat passport with the primary appro passport for additional price of 3.50 €. The Trick or Treat ticket therefore includes BOTH the primary appropass and the Trick or Treat passport. The ToT passport creates a real Halloween atmosphere when you would walk from door to door asking "Trick or Treat?", because Trick or Treat drinks with a SECRET CONTENT are available at appro tour locations during the event! All ToT products are dairy- and lactose-free, and alcohol-free options are also available. You only get a stamp to the ToT passport by purchasing a ToT product. To complete the ToT passport, it is required to gain 7 stamps in the grid of the ToT passport. Completing the ToT passport will reward you with the MOST AMAZING and SCAREST Halloween badge! There’s only a limited amount of these Trick or Treat passports, so be quick when the tickets are released. So, in short = drink more! 🦇

TICKETS 🎃
The ticket sale starts on MONDAY 9th of October at 2 pm. The ticket’s will be sold according to the afterparty location. A ticket to the event costs 13 euros and includes appro passport and wristband to the afterparty. You can purchase the Trick or Treat passport along with the primary appro passport. With Trick or Treat passport the ticket will cost 16.50 euros in total. Only with the wristband you can access the afterparty. If there’s a ticket sale only to the afterparty from the bar door, it will be informed later.

Participants themselves take the responsibility of filling out their appro passport accordingly to receive overall badges. The wristband is specific to the afterparty location chosen when buying the ticket. You can buy the maximum of four tickets per afterparty location per one person. You cannot return the ticket, but you can send it to another Kide.app user through the app.

THE APPRO TOUR 🎃
The appro tour will be held between 3 pm and 10 pm. You can collect stamps by buying beverages and snacks from the restaurants, bars and other locations collaborating with Approventure event. The official locations can be seen from the appro passport. There are student discounts in these locations during the event. It’s possible to buy food from many of the locations and you can also carry out the Appro completely sober. Thus, there are also alcohol-free options available. You can receive only one stamp per location to the same passport. The bars don’t charge for the cloak service during the appro tour.

TORI STAND 🎃
You can pick up the appro passport and afterparty wristband from Tori between 2-6 pm. The approventure event will kick off at tori stand located in the central marketplace of Kuopio. You can recognize this from many colored pop-up tents. Both afterparty locations have their own tents, so collect your appro passport and afterparty wristband according to the afterparty location from the correct tent. After 6 pm. you can still pick up the afterparty wristband but appro passports won’t be handed anymore. Please note that appro tour starts at 3 pm. and the appro discounts will apply since that same time.

The passports will be returned to the same place from which you claimed them at first! To receive overall badges you have to be back in Tori to return your passport latest at 10 pm. 🕙⌛️ We recommend showing up in time both to collect the passports at the beginning of the event. There WON'T be a possibility to return the appro passport at the afterparty location.

PICTURE CONTEST 🎃
Dress up according to the Halloween theme with your friends and post a picture on Instagram during the event and tag @approventure! This way you can participate in a picture contest. For the best pictures we're going to give giftcards to restaurants and bars collaborating with us. The picture can be an Instagram story or a feed post.

THE AFTERPARTY 🎃
There are two different locations for the afterparty: Bar Nousu & Lasku and Apteekkari. The afterparty starts from 9 pm. and you can get in with the afterparty wristband. In both afterparty locations, there will be an artist performing. This is also the first time ever a big gig takes place at Bar Lasku so this will be a once in a lifetime instance! The performers will be announced in Instagram @approventure 🔥🔥🔥 Artist showtimes are at 12 am. Note that the cloakroom service isn’t included in the Approventure ticket.
