Lewisville is dialing up its appeal to locals and visitors alike with the launch of the Centennial Passport—an initiative that touts itself as "the" ticket to truly uncovering the city's charm. Taking a tech-savvy approach to exploration, the passport experience is poised to be a blend of treasure hunt and urban expedition.

By using the VisitLewisvilleTX app, downloadable for both Apple and Android users, adventurers can start to immediately check in at various "Spots" across the city. Each check-in not only brings folks closer to a plethora of local stories and experiences, but it also allows participants to unlock deals, discounts, and a chance to win prizes—adding a competitive twist to the age-old pleasure of discovery. "This exciting experience invites users to discover hidden gems, local businesses, unique services, and must-see attractions that make this community so special," touts the City of Lewisville.

As details about the passport challenge unfold, participants will find themselves checking into "Spots" that map out like chapters in a city narrative waiting to be read. There are different checkpoint goals and prize packs for each season: February promises a city merchandise pack with an estimated value of $20 for those who check into ten "Spots," while spring ups the ante with a bounty of items from local contributors valued at $50 for those who manage to visit twenty locations.

There's an incentive for businesses to get involved as the city is actively recruiting locations to join the passport program. By signing up, businesses stand not just to gain added exposure but also to become part of Lewisville's rich tapestry that locals and outsiders alike are encouraged to deeply engage with. Bigger prizes await travelers at the end of each challenge period, though they must pick up said rewards in person at the Visitor Information Center. "All participants will be eligible for a Passport prize pack and entered to win additional prizes at the end of each Passport period," shared a City of Lewisville announcement.
