Completing The #WildBillMe Challenge
I just love selfies and treasure hunts so when I found out about the #WildBeChallenge in Deadwood I just had to do it.
Wild Bill Hickok was the most famous resident of Deadwood, even though he was murdered shortly after arriving. While you are out about exploring historic Deadwood you will see his image pretty much everywhere. Every time you do snap a selfie with him.
Any likeness of the gunslinger will do from statues to t-shirts to hotel signs. The goal is to take your pic with him as many times as you can to win some one of a kind prizes.
Snap 10 selfies and win a #WildBillMe sticker move on to 15 and you’ll get a #WildBillMe magnet as well. Reach 25 Wild Bill selfies and they’ll also give you $5 in Deadwood Gold Bucks redeemable at over 30 locations in Deadwood.
Now I can’t remember if the gold bucks were just for casinos and stores or restaurants also, but I used mine to play some slots at Tin Lizzie’s.
After you get all your selfies taken head over to the Deadwood welcome center (501 Main Street) or Deadwood visitor center (3 Siever Street) to show them your pics and claim your prizes.
I ended up with 26 selfies without even trying that hard.
They aren’t lying when they say his image is everywhere in Deadwood. I even got two pics the guy said he has never seen before so that made me happy.
If you want a fun little activity to do while you’re already exploring the town go ahead and do the challenge.
It will only take a few extra minutes to complete and you will have a fun memory and some unique souvenirs to take home with you. Be creative and have some fun.
I posted a bunch of selfies on this post, but not all.
Let’s just say I took some pics where I did not look my best lol. That’s the way selfies work though right? You take like a dozen before you get that perfect shot.
