Visit Chandler  — the city's online portal for things to do and entertainment options — has introduced a new digital pass.

 Visit Chandler is inviting residents and visitors to explore the city through Choose Chandler Experiences. That's a new collection of themed promotions that reward users for supporting local businesses, according to a news release.

Each promotion is available online at Choose Chandler. 

The recently introduced Chandler Thrills Pass unlocks a month of Halloween-inspired fun, ranging from haunted rooms and eerie shops to zombie-themed challenges, games and creative "spooky art" workshops, according to the release.

Participants who check in at five locations throughout October will be entered to win a special prize.

Signing up for the free pass is simple, the city states. Visit Choose Chandler and register with a name, email and cell phone number.

The pass will then immediately be sent to a phone via text and email for immediate use. There is no app to download, and the pass can be saved directly to a phone’s home screen for convenient access.

While signing up for the Chandler Thrills Pass,  check out the other experiences currently available:

• Chandler Mural Quest: With cooler weather here, it’s time for a digital scavenger hunt to explore Chandler’s local murals. Answer fun quiz questions to check in at each stop. After hitting all the spots, earn a free set of exclusive Chandler postcards.
• "Let’s Lunch, Chandler!" is a go-to guide for quick and delicious weekday lunch deals at select popular downtown Chandler eateries. Use this pass to uncover $10–$12 lunch specials through Nov. 7, and check in at participating locations for a chance to win a restaurant gift card.

“These experiences are designed to encourage people to get out, have fun and see the many ways Chandler businesses and artists make our community unique,” said Kimberly Janes, Visit Chandler’s program manager. “With our Choose Chandler Experiences, it’s easier than ever to explore the city while earning rewards for supporting and shopping local.”
