Join an ISOBRE EXPEDITION

What's this about?

Ever want to go out and look for bigfoot?  To be part of something bigger than yourself? Here's your chance.

How it Works

Every year, we offer public expeditions for our fans to join us.  It's gotten so popular, that this year, we are doing something different.

Lottery

Offering a lottery is the best way to ensure that you have a fair shot at joining the expedition!

LOTTERY EXPLAINED...

 

ISOBRE is the longest-running weekly Bigfoot research show in the world, and this year fans can join the hunt in person. It’s a rare opportunity to step into the story and help uncover the unknown.


 

🎟️ What Is the ISOBRE Expedition Lottery?

It’s a random selection process that gives fans a chance to join the ISOBRE team on a real Bigfoot investigation in 2026. Instead of first-come, first-served or buying a ticket, everyone who’s interested fills out a form—and then we randomly choose a limited number of participants from that pool.


🧭 Why Use a Lottery?

  • It keeps things fair—everyone has an equal chance, no matter when they sign up
  • It helps us manage interest, since spots are limited
  • It builds excitement and suspense, just like our investigations


📝 How It Works

  1. Fill out the interest form before November 30
  2. After the deadline, we’ll randomly select a group of participants
  3. If you’re selected, you’ll get an email with all the expedition details and next steps, including a phone interview and signing releases / waiver
  4. If you’re not selected, you’ll still be part of the community—and may get priority for future events


👣 What You’re Signing Up For

  • A chance to join the ISOBRE crew in the field
  • Real cryptid research, night hikes, and behind-the-scenes access
  • A unique experience with fellow believers and adventurers


It’s not a contest, and there’s no cost to enter the lottery—just a chance to be part of something unforgettable.
