Dr. Pepper promotion / sweepstakes

[thebruce]

To start, got the 1st clue:

Physical Treasure Hunt:
1. Drive all you want, search by car, if you need a passport you've gone too far.

Virtual Treasure Hunt:
1. Our search begins in the land of the free, go back in time from EST.

Hunter's Hints (this is the same each entry)
- Yes, you are in search of a Treasure. But no shovels needed in this Hunt, it's not buried -- so no digging!
- The clues will get you there, eventually. Be patient; try to figure out the patterns that the clues lead you to.
- Figure it out yet? When you're ready to roll just play nice: stay off of private property, don't trample any flowers, in other words, keep everything the way it was before you got there.
- Hey, keep your boots on! To find this treasure, you won't be going inside. So keep them strapped on and keep your search outside.

Also, for the sake of the game, I won't post any more clues since purchasing is involved, and possible forfeiture of prizes... *shrug*

AND: the coins are regional. I just read over the how-to's, and the 23 physical coins are spread over north america, one within each region (2 in Canada), and people registered at the site are placed within these regions, making the clues specific to your region. So the physical clues I quoted above are only good if you're in my region.

The virtual clues are good for everyone, and by clue #27, a toll free # will be revealed, and the first to call it with the location of this virtual coin (located anywhere in the world, but not really) wins the coin.

Funfunfun. If it weren't for a required purchase of 30 dr.peppers in one month, I'd say it's a great game!
heh, but I'm on my way already. I love Dr.Pepper, and I'm going to try for all 30 clue pairs... I know, I've gone

"the hunt"

[thebruce]

From my understanding, the clues you receive for the physical hunt are only based on your geographical region. You'll only be able to find the coin that is in your registered region.
Though technically you could search for the other coin(s) if you get a hold of the other regions' clues.

The virtual hunt is open for everyone however, which just requires you to be the first to call a phone # which will be revealed later, with the correct location.

Clues

hehe that's what we hope right? That you know, maybe, we're the only ones in our regions to be following this

can't wait until the last few clues that may narrow down to a meter or few area for the coin.

What region is everyone in.

"Might not be". So they may or may not already be in place.

I suppose they want the option to wait until later in the contest to avoid someone accidentally finding a coin (ala metal detectors) without participating in the sweepstakes.

also adds a bit of 'chance' as well, since you'd really have to check back regularly after the 'maybe' date passes... if you don't and you only check once, but it's not laid yet, you'll never know if you're right or wrong. It bugs me a bit that they don't state a certain time when it will be dropped, but hey, it adds a level of dedication to give a better chance to people who are the (much) more determined to find the coin. *shrug*

Phone # for the virtual hunt may be released on Sunday. Get all your clues!
