This sensual checkpoint crawl starts at 5 pm at Dipoli, where you’ll get the map for the crawl. During the crawl you will collect stamps from different checkpoints and if your performance is considered satisfactory after 8 stamps, you’ll get an overall badge that will be matching with your Polin Appro’s badge!
The afterparty starts at 9 pm in Smökki, and there PELMU’s spectacular bands will keep the atmosphere hot and steamy. There is a limited amount of tickets for the event, and they will be sold only together with Polin Appro’s tickets at shared price of 20 €.

8.11. Polin appro
POLIN APPRO is coming again and this time with more mysteriosity than ever before! Participants get to go around the bars and pubs of the old Poli area during the Teekkariperinneviikko. The theme this year will be masquerade, meaning that participants are recommended to equip a mask and to prepare for stealthy action! Participants collect performance stamps by visiting various pre-selected bars and pubs. If you manage to collect enough stamps for your level, you will be awarded an overalls badge!
Unlike other pub crawls, previous participation is not required and therefore you can achieve any performance level when you participate for the first time. The performance levels are 1st level (7), 2nd level (11), and 3rd level (15). So grab your overalls, be in DTM at 16.00 and join the greatest Appro-adventure of the year! Teams have until 23.00 to finish the crawl, or 5 hours if they started early. Remember, the event won’t end after the crawl is over because the afterparty will blast off in Apollo at 21.00!
