Anaheim Goes Bananas with Citywide Bananaheim Challenge

Anaheim is about to get a whole lot… peel-ier. As the wildly popular Savannah Bananas roll back into town, the city is going all in on the fun with a brand-new, citywide experience designed to turn Orange County into one giant game board. 

What’s Happening:

• The “Bananaheim Challenge” is a free, interactive scavenger hunt that blends local exploration with the high-energy chaos fans have come to love from Banana Ball.
• Timed perfectly with the Bananas’ two-night takeover of Angel Stadium on March 27-28, the Bananaheim Challenge runs from March 26-29 and invites fans to take the excitement beyond the ballpark.
• Organized by Visit Anaheim, the challenge encourages both locals and visitors to explore Anaheim and nearby Garden Grove in a completely new way, through 22 participating businesses scattered across the area.
• Getting started is simple: fans sign up online, then begin visiting participating locations. At each stop, players will find Bananaheim Challenge signage with a QR code to scan, earning points as they go.
• The more locations you visit, the more points you rack up—and the closer you get to some seriously fun rewards.
• This isn’t just about bragging rights (though those are definitely included). Participants can unlock a range of prizes, including:
  • Exclusive Savannah Bananas merchandise
  • Stickers and collectibles
  • Gift cards to local Anaheim businesses
• And for one especially dedicated fan? A grand prize package that includes tickets to the Disneyland Resort, plus additional local perks and Bananas gear.
• The Savannah Bananas have built a national following thanks to their signature “Banana Ball” style, an electrifying, fan-first version of baseball packed with trick plays, dancing players, and nonstop entertainment. Their return to Anaheim isn’t just a sporting event; it’s a full-on celebration.
• “The Savannah Bananas bring an incredible level of energy and excitement wherever they go,” said Scott Oklin, Chief Marketing Officer of Visit Anaheim. “The Bananaheim Challenge is a fun way for fans to explore the city, discover local favorites, and be part of the celebration beyond the ballpark.”
• Whether you’re in town for the games or just looking for a unique way to experience the city, the Bananaheim Challenge offers something for everyone. It’s part scavenger hunt, part food-and-drink crawl, and all-out fun, perfect for families, friend groups, and die-hard Bananas fans alike.
• So grab your crew, scan those codes, and get ready to go bananas!
