Lacoste

Adventure Challenge

This adventure challenge is designed to bring your Lacoste squad closer together and get you to explore the surrounding area while staying safe and healthy. Please follow the current CDC guidelines and your local authorities for the best ways to protect yourselves and those in your community.

Here Are The Rules

Read each challenge carefully and click on any provided links to view helpful pictures, videos, and requirements for each challenge.

Complete as many challenges as you can in the given time frame. Challenges can be completed in any order. Challenges are often designed to bring you together through fun, difficult, or embarrassing experiences, so complete whatever challenges you and your group are comfortable with. Just be sure to create some unforgettable moments and content that your group will cherish forever!

Some challenges may require a few basic supplies to complete them. Figuring out how to obtain these supplies somewhere in the area is part of the strategy so work together and use what you’ve got to get what you need.

Team members need to stay together throughout the adventure, however, if you are all at the same location and searching for an item you can spread out until it is found and then regroup to take the necessary picture/video.  

Capture as many team members in your picture or video as possible. When out in the community, teams often ask a kind stranger to take their picture or video so that the entire team can get on film. If it's necessary to have someone on your own team film certain challenges be sure to rotate who that person is so that everyone is actively involved in completing challenges throughout the adventure.


#1: The Hard Rock has a few mottos that are designed to unite us with one another and our planet (learn more about them HERE). For this challenge find the motto “Love All-Serve All”, or “All Is One” displayed anywhere around the hotel and then take a video of your team all working together to complete the Group Sit & Stand Challenge. Basically, your team members will all be standing shoulder to shoulder in a tight clump/circle with your backs all facing in and your arms interlocked. Slowly lower the entire interlocked group to the ground until you are in a seated position with your butt on the ground, and then slowly stand back up while remaining interlocked. Make sure either of the two designated Hard Rock mottos is visible at some point in your video. To watch a video of a group successfully completing this challenge click HERE.

#2: The Hard Rock is filled with incredible memorabilia, which originally arrived here under heavy guard in a private jet (just like the rock stars themselves would have). One of the most iconic pieces on display is the King Of Pop’s sequined crystal white glove. Find this infamous piece of apparel somewhere in the hotel and take either a team photo doing your best MJ pose (crotch grab optional), or a video of your team all moonwalking past the glove.

#3: Rene Lacoste’s legendary tennis career was built upon his tenacious drive to hone not only his tennis skills but also his concentration. Click HERE to complete the Rene Lacoste Concentration Challenge. Once on the site, select the option for “Concentration” and get ready to begin the test. You will see a series of shapes. The goal is to decide whether the word inside the shape matches the color of the shape. If it does, click the check mark. If it doesn’t click on the X. Your score will be based on speed and accuracy. To complete this challenge successfully, any member of your team needs to score 27 or more points total on one test. Once someone has achieved an acceptable score, take a picture of the highly focused team member proudly displaying their score on their screen.

#4: A huge part of being great at marketing your brand is listening to your client and understanding the stories that make them who they are. Take a video of your team and any stranger that has a tattoo while they explain what that tattoo means to them. The tattoo must be visible at some point during the video.

#5: Take a video of any two team members both successfully completing the “Bottle Flip Challenge” at exactly the same time. Basically, take a video of both members each flipping their own standard (16 ounces or so) bottle of water onto a hard surface, and getting it to successfully remain standing upright once it lands. The bottle can be filled with as much water as needed to improve your chances of completing the challenge successfully. What will make this challenge difficult is getting both people to make a successful flip on the same attempt. If one of you fails, encourage them and both try again. To watch a video of two people successfully completing this challenge together click HERE.

#6: Find the nearby mural that references the Steve Miller Band lyric “Fly like an Eagle to the Sea”. Once you’ve found it, have the person in your group who is newest to the company stand in the most prominent spot against the mural (in between the two colorful parts, with arms outstretched). Have the rest of the team members on either side of that person and then get someone to take a picture while those team members all jump in the air at the same time. Work together as a team to time your jump so that everyone’s feet are off the ground in the picture, and you all come together to “Fly Like An Eagle”.

#7: Many of the legends immortalized here at Hard Rock are famous because of their dance moves. And many of them started when they were just kids. To honor those young icons recruit a group of at least three youth anywhere around the area, and take a video of them teaching your team members how to “Floss”. And no, it has nothing to do with your teeth.

#8: Find any vending machine (either with food, kids trinkets, etc) and put enough money into it that any one item could be gotten. Don’t select anything but instead leave a note that says “Any item of your choice on us! Love, Lacoste”. Then take a picture of your team so that the vending machine, the deposited amount (if applicable), and your note are all visible if possible.

#9: Take a video of your team completing the "Paper Airplane Challenge". Basically send some team members to the 2nd level of any building or parking garage and have them toss paper airplanes out into the air in front of them (not just dropping it straight downward). The rest of your team should be on the sidewalk or grass below. Any of your team members at ground level need to catch just one plane before it hits the ground. All team members at ground level can be attempting to catch planes, but only one plane needs to be caught. To watch a team complete this mission successfully click HERE.

#10: Tuesday was National Garlic Day (it’s true, look it up). Research shows that consuming raw garlic can boost your immune system. So to honor the recent holiday and keep your team healthy, take a video of all your team members each chewing a separate raw clove of garlic for at least 10 full seconds. Team members should be actively chewing the clove and not just holding it in their mouths. Disclaimer, although healthy this will likely not be pleasant, which is exactly the point, because a team that suffers together grows together.

#11: New Jersey’s military history runs deep, including the Air National Guard base located here in AC. Anywhere around the area find an active military person or a veteran. They could be wearing some form of military or veteran attire, have a military ID, or they could simply describe their military background while you’re completing your challenge. Once you’ve found someone, take a video of them watching your entire team doing 10 push-ups or sit-ups at their feet to honor their strength and courage. After you’ve finished recording, spend a few minutes learning more about their time in the service before you depart, as a small gesture of appreciation.

#12: Located somewhere nearby, find the oversized beach chair seen HERE. Once you’ve found it, pile your entire team onto the chair and have someone take a fun team picture.

#13: Take a video of at least half the members in your group completing the "Bite The Bag" challenge. Stand on one leg, bend down and grab a brown paper bag (or a bag that’s similar in height) with your teeth and lift it up as you stand back up on one foot. Must remain on one foot the entire time and can not use your arms, hold onto anything, or bump into anything else. To watch a video of someone successfully completing this challenge click HERE.

#14: Take a picture of your team forming a 3-tiered, human pyramid inside of any elevator. You’ll need at least 6 people to properly form 3 tiers, so recruit kind strangers if needed. The elevator can be stopped at a floor with the door open as long as your pyramid is performed inside the actual elevator.

#15: Find a postcard that features this area in some way or a greeting card designed by a local artist and purchase it. Then click HERE to go to the Postcard Happiness Project website and scroll down to the profile for John Craig, an adult with Downs Syndrome from Oregon that loves to receive mail. On your postcard include a fun or uplifting message and sign it with your names or your group name. The mailing address for John can be found in his profile description. Stamp your card and take a picture with it to show you've completed your Act Of Kindness.
