PotC 2007 maybe
I just found this today:
http://thehunt07.spaces.live.com/
This seems entirely unofficial to me, but it might be a place for you to track further rumors and/or news.


(and thank you for the move out of the archives)

 		2007 PoTC Volvo - The Hunt
new contest
I just found this on promagazine.com after several Google searches:

Volvo has launched a teaser campaign for its upcoming treasure hunt tied to the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

And it's promising an even bigger and better hunt for 2007.

The automaker launched a blog at TheHunt07.Spaces.Live.com to start generating buzz around its newest effort, which kicks off in May.

The blog began on March 18 prompting fans to return to the site yesterday for some news. The writer takes the role of a pirate to get people excited and interested about the upcoming campaign.

"The treasure this year will shock even the toughest swashbucklers out there," the blog said yesterday. "Start sharpening your wit, dust off your olde compass and keep your eyes peeled. You don't want to miss this one!"

No further details about the treasure hunt were available. The blog comes to months before Disney's third installment in the Pirates franchise hits theaters. The movie will have a global release on May 25.

Volvo last summer sent thousands of players from across the world on an online treasure hunt in search of a buried Volvo XC90 SUV. The promotion drew 52,000 participants in the U.S. alone. In August, seven finalists (the first to complete the hunt) traveled to the Bahamas to unearth the buried treasure. Each walked away with a new Volvo car (PROMO Xtra, Aug. 14, 2006).

The treasure hunt was the first of its kind of Volvo under its partnership with Disney. Euro RSCG Worldwide, New York and Euro RSCG 4D, Amsterdam, handled the campaign for Volvo.

DID YOU SAY TREASURE?!
You're back! So, that must mean you think you're up for a challenge? Gather round the deck and listen up! Volvo's got some new treasure and it's up for grabs. There are rumblings of a treasure hunt coming, sure to challenge even the toughest buccaneers around. You can bet all the rum on the ship that this hunt isn't for the lily-livered (that's faint of heart to you land lovers). If you had the good fortune (and what pirate doesn't?) to play in last year's hunt, you must be scratching your head thinking, "Surely Volvo can't make the hunt and treasure any better than last year." Well, you're dead wrong, me hearty. The treasure this year will shock even the toughest swashbucklers out there. Start sharpening your wit, dust off your olde compass and keep your eyes peeled. You don't want to miss this one! One more thing before I go raise my pirate flag, check out www.disney.com. Looks like my old acquaintances Captain Jack Sparrow and "Bootstrap Bill" Turner might have heard the Volvo hunt rumor too…

 		2007 PoTC - The HuntPuzzle
Puzzle to Solve
Aye, so there is a puzzle to solve if you go to the Disney site first. Razz

I am several layers deep, but can't find the pieces of eight. Has anyone else had any luck? Looks like the fun is about to begin again this year.

"about to begin" in May, according to the press release article linked to above. This is considered the pre-publicity, pre-game, buzz warm-up. It's nice if they do provide puzzles to keep our interest, but the slate will be cleared when the contest starts up proper.

 		Anxious to set sail again
Gaming newbie grateful for unfiction site
This forum saved my sanity with the last game.

I had never played a computer game of any kind, before The Hunt, and I'd never have known how to even get started if not for all of you.

Appreciated so much how the answers/spoilers were hidden, and I actually got better at it as time went on!

We aging Boomers need mental stimulation, and games like this are WAY better than sodoku, IMO. (There's money to be made, I say!)

Looking forward to another great journey!
