Ready? Set? Go! It's time for the Hometown Tourism Challenge, 2025 edition.

Explore Oshawa, earn points and have a chance to win prizes... what's not to love! The Hometown Tourism Challenge is an app-based adventure that invites residents to explore Oshawa like a tourist. Visit local attractions, heritage sites, shops, and restaurants, complete fun challenges, and earn points along the way. Each week, top players have the chance to win amazing local prizes, and at the end of the challenge, the top teams compete for the Ultimate Oshawa Experience Prize Pack.

This year, we’re kicking off the fun with the Great City Sprint — an action-packed, one-day event where teams will race through Downtown Oshawa, solving clues, completing challenges, and visiting cultural and heritage sites as part of Doors Open Oshawa (which means free admission to some incredible local spots). Tickets for the Hometown Tourism Challenge: Great City Sprint can be purchased here.
