We are looking for a golden domino? That is news to me too. And the mention that 119500 is a code to see a portion of the new ad - maybe the hand codes are to see another portion of the ad - find all the codes and see the whole ad.

Where do we put in the codes? Will check he guiness site.

Finally got in the website/we can't play!

Finally got in the website - has anyone else found out where to enter the clues? The search box only goes to google.

edited: we can't play! Read the rules - it is only for the United Kingdom - after all this work! Unless I am missing it - but I read the rules and interpret it is only for the UK. The prize is a solid gold domino - that is why we are looking for the domino. I can't believe I spent all this time on this and we can't play or win?

"Open to all residents of mainland United Kingdom aged 18 or over except employees of the promoter, their families and anyone professionally involved with this promotion."

Who would put an internet campaign on and limit your audience.

NC, are you from the UK? I can't play - from the US.

edited: well I contacted them via their contact link and asked about the US. I am not doing one more thing on it until I get a response from them.

Good luck whoever is from the UK.

See my edit above.
Yes, this bums me out too - more than that - I am almost as mad as we were over at Covet when the sniper took the prize (but not quite).

Not only that, they launched their UK only campaign on a US owned company (YouTube owned by Google which is located in Mountainview California.

On the site posted by ncfriend above, you click on the dominoes to enter the code - 1st domino with 119500 as code gives you first clip of the ad.

Only for mainland UK residents - but we have a few of them here on UF, so we can always help them find the codes - yes it's a bummer for us, but as papa always said, life's not fair.

Yes, life is not fair - I learned that on the last 2 games - first the sniper on Covet and now this.
I don't know how much more time I am going to put into this - another game is starting on Halloween.

In all fairness, I did diddly squat on the video beyond linking to it.

It's kinda funny...so far, this'll make the third competition I've followed / played where I'm barred from winning--first Vanishing Point, then Save My Husband, now Juan Ramon. Still, the games are fun usually.

In their defense, regional restrictions happen (legally, these contests are a hassle and a half to do "fairly"), and they were only three days late on posting the restrictions.

Thanks for the update on the restrictions, and good job catching the article / terms of service, Palm.

As a clarification on the prizes: grand prize (randomly chosen from people who find all 11 pieces) -- solid gold domino piece.

Weekly drawings from November 2 to December 7:
Guinness branded glass packs, mugs, pint aprons, pinto oven gloves, luxury chocolate truffles, Pint bottle opener key rings, Toucan key rings, Toucan luggage tags, playing cards and egg cup sets (175 winners per week)

Well, even though we are not part of the UK, maybe we could have some fun and unlock the clues? I mean, we cannot win anything, but with most ARG's we can't. We should just increase our puzzle-busting minds..

WHO'S WITH ME?!

on the domino del oro site, i think there is a number on the wall near the screen (right side) but I can't make it out - might be one of those codes!
