Cuffed Dating (the famous instagram page) is hosting a scavenger hunt where they pair you up with a random person to go find $2,500 in Central Park.

Other apps would spend this on a 1hr bar tab. They’ve decided to do something a bit more interesting... They’ve hidden $2500 somewhere in Central Park. And set up a scavenger hunt for it.

Only 2 of you will find it… Catch is: You’re going to be cuffed to someone at random. Come with a friend (maybe it’ll be them). And yes they mean handcuffed. You can leave at anytime but you have to be hand cuffed in order to win the prize. Who knows maybe you'll meet a new lover. Maybe you'll pay your rent. 🤷‍♂️
