Get Ready for Day II & III!

We still have two more Hunts planned for Wednesday, April 27 and Saturday, April 30! Both days will function just like day one, with a prize pack going to the first finisher and to a randomly-selected person from everyone who finishes by midnight EDT.

Here’s how to win!

• Keep your eyes peeled for the first clue.

We’ll release the first clue to our Twitter followers, Facebook fans, blog readers, and e-mail subscribers at 12 noon EDT.

• Follow the trail of clues.

The correct answer to the first clue will lead you to the next, and so on. Use your noggin to keep finding clues until you reach the final destination. (Hint: Look for the magnifying glass!)

You’ll find all the clues and answers you need on Fooducopia.com, our blog, and in our e-Cookbook. And don’t worry, we’ll give you a way to signal that you’ve finished when you reach your final destination. So, be sure to keep your answers to each clue quiet! (That is, unless you want other Foodvengers catching your scent on the trail!)

Good luck, Foodvengers! Come back to compete in the next two Hunts on April 27 and 30 — the first clue will be released at 12 noon EDT each day!

As we announced last week, we’re hosting an online scavenger hunt — called Foodvenger — for lovers of good food! That’s you, right?

Now that we’ve finalized the prize packages, I must say, I wish I didn’t work for Fooducopia so I could compete! Altogether, we’re giving out eight prize packs worth more than $500! (See what I mean?)

The prize packs include full-sized items like:

• Anija’s specialty mustards
• Blissed Out’s best dark chocolate
• The Bunnery’s healthy granola
• Nature’z Candyz gourmet dried fruit
• And a whole lot more!

Now to the important question — how can you get your hands on all the deliciousness?

The good news is we’ve built in multiple ways to win, whether your riddle-savvy or more literal than your grandmother’s King James Version.

We’re hosting three separate Hunts on April 25, 27, and 30, and the set of clues will get progressively harder from day one to three. You can compete in all or conserve your energy for day three – the more you play, the more chances you have to win!

We’ll release the first clue to our Twitter followers, Facebook fans, blog readers, and e-mail subscribers for each Hunt at 12 noon ET on April 25, 27, and 30. If you’re the first person to follow the right path, clue-to-clue, through pages on our website, blog, and e-cookbook, you’ll win that day’s prize package!

Everyone else who plays throughout the day and makes it to the end will be entered into a randomized drawing for an additional prize package.

So we’re giving out two prize packs each day on the 25th, 27th, and 30th! And what about the last two?

Well just to be nice ‘n’ sweet, we’re giving out a prize pack for participation. To get an entry into the drawing for this prize, all you have to do is let us know you’re “in” The Hunt any of the following ways:

• Leaving a comment below
• Mentioning “#Foodvenger” and “@Fooducopia” in one tweet on Twitter
• Liking the Foodvenger Map on Facebook
• Signing up for contest updates on Foodvenger.com

And the last prize? This one’s pretty exciting! For every person who signs up on Foodvenger.com using your name as “Referrer”, you get one entry! So if five people sign up using your name as the person who referred them, you get five entries! Basically, the potential here for free food is limitless!

So what are you waiting for, Foodvenger? Delicious food treasures await you!

Let us know you’re in, refer your friends, and keep your eyes peeled for the first clue on April 25!
