Adventure Survey

We are working on a new application that can track your adventurous activities, hooking you up with great new people, places and adventures.  Right now, we are at the research stage and we need your help!

There are some BIG questions that need answering in order for this to work.  We need to know about your concept of adventure; what it is, why you do it and what makes one activity more adventurous than another.  With these answers, we can build an application that will inspire you in powerful ways. 

The research will come in stages.

Stage One: is all about ranking.  We have identified over 200 different activities.  Each day we’ll simply ask you to compare two of them and tell us which is more adventurous.  For example:

Skiing     VS     Skydiving

Which is more adventurous?

We realise that this is a very subjective area.  All kinds of factors might affect how adventurous an activity is.  For now we are asking you just to consider and compare the core activities and vote for the one you think is most adventurous.

This discussion is going on right now across the web.  You can take part right here on The Conch blog or by using any of the websites listed below.  All responses will be collated and we will let you know the results via email every week in the run up to Christmas. To receive updates just subscribe to our newsletter at the top of this page.

As a thank you for you help at this early stage we would like to give you:

First access to the completed application

and 2 free tickets to our Manchester launch party in Spring 2009

 

Thanks in advance for your help.  We can’t wait to see what you think.
