Treasure Hunt!
 
Hi all. We know everyone is getting excited about the information that will be revealed about Mists of Pandaria after March 19th, so we thought we’d give you something to occupy your time this week while Cairenn is away at the press conference. We have 20 Diablo III beta keys up for grabs! So, starting on March 12th, we're going to have a treasure hunt.

First clue has been posted!

He is asking if Europeans are eligible to win.

zork 03-12-12 04:55 AM

+ p3lim

I think it's mainly because of the time.

Central Standard Time (CST) = GMT-6
Middle European Winter Time (MEWT) = GMT+1

10pm + 7 is kind of early .. but someone has to suffer ;)

For non-US you can look the date and time on wolframalpha and it will tell you the time relative to your location (based on IP). Also, I know it's pointless to look at the clocks for each day, considering the clues are to be given out at the same time each day, but it shows the exact time until that happens in hours, minutes, seconds, for us geeks. :PFor me it's indeed early, I guess I can take a peak at the clue before work or university. :P

By the way, does the treasure chests spawn at the first clue giveaway, or do all chests spawn when the first clue is posted? I took a peak around, couldn't find any chests right now, so I guess they aren't placed on the site yet.

It's beeing held in 4am GMT, that's all.

Dolby 03-12-12 11:14 AM

Read the contest, the time doesnt matter, you have 24hrs to find the first treasure chest to be included in the first drawning. First clue is turned on today at 10pm cst (maybe even earlier :) ) and we dont drawn names until 24hrs after that at Tuesday at 10pm and you dont need to be around for that since we will send you the key via PM.

So just find the clue every day you're up and you'll make the drawing just fine. So you have from 4am tonight till the next day at 4am to find the first clue in GMT (going by what you said the time would be).

You are given 24hrs to find the clue so it doesn't matter what time it starts.

(Monday 10pm PST clue given), (Tuesday 10pm Names drawn, next clue given), (Wednesday 10pm Names drawn, next clue given)... etc. As explained on the contest page. Each time you have 24hrs in between drawings to find the treasure chest.

The first five winners will be drawn on...
I read this as the first 5 to solve it, that's probably what mislead me.

Coldkil 03-12-12 11:46 PM

so...just find - click treasure chests then hope for luck :P

Never been lucky TBH - well, this doen't mean i won't try.

NeoTheOne420 03-13-12 01:06 AM

Browse the website until you find a page with a treasure chest on it, click the treasure chest to see if its the one with the treasure in it. If not, keep browsing.
You can check the clue to get a hint where to browse.

Bl4ckSh33p 03-13-12 08:30 AM

Found the treasure chest.
Nice treasure hunt! :D

Refus3 03-13-12 08:43 AM

GL HF PPL!! :banana:

Ketho 03-13-12 10:29 AM

I don't intend to give away hints, but .. do we always have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the concerning page, or will the treasure chest be placed on random positions throughout the page?

The treasure is always buried or sunken :)

ValorPrince 03-13-12 12:46 PM

I found the right Treasure Chest????
 
I found one of the chests and it said I was entered into the drawing. That means I have a chance to win right? or am I reading this wrong

Tip: We don’t want you guys to be bored, so we’re going to throw in a twist. There may be multiple chests posted on the site, but not all of them are going to be the correct one for that day’s clue. Or it may be a correct answer, but not the correct answer. If it isn’t the correct one, you’ll get a friendly little message telling you to keep looking.

I'm just checking because I've lost every contest for a key so far and want to make sure I'm doing this right. Sorry if I sound like an idiot.

Dolby 03-13-12 02:10 PM

If you have a green check mark next to the question on the treasure hunt page that will confirm you found it too. However the message when you find would should say you've been entered.

t_fireforge 03-13-12 04:02 PM

Everyone likes treasure!

ValorPrince 03-13-12 04:13 PM

:confused: Thats weird. When I first went to check to see what the clue was there was already a green check there. I thought the checks appeared every time a clue was revealed. Hmmmmm Interesting.

AgtJ 03-13-12 05:34 PM

Thanks for the opportunity to enter the contest!

Btw, your website design is great and easy on the eyes :D

greendude120 03-13-12 06:29 PM

Can't wait to find out who won! I don't care which day i win, i just wanna win :P

Strec 03-13-12 07:30 PM

Trust me Greendude120 you are not the only one..

greendude120 03-13-12 07:50 PM

:P
By the time i win a key from those contests the game will be out lol.

redhatredhat 03-13-12 07:59 PM

i dont know whether i found the right one or not i cliked on a few and it tells me that its wrong but i clicked on one specific one and it just takes me to the treasure hunt details but doesnt tell me that ive been entered into anything and ive got the green tick.

namimasu88 03-13-12 08:01 PM

Well That was fun! :D

the one that brought u to the contest details, did it have a green arrow beside day 1? if so, u are registered. IF all the days have a red 'X' then you are not registered.

redhatredhat 03-13-12 08:29 PM

yeah has the green tick ^_^

greendude120 03-13-12 09:12 PM

Damn i lose again :(

Frika 03-13-12 09:16 PM

boo!
 
Lost round one - found two already! :D

bbence576 03-14-12 07:32 AM

Can you tell us that how many ppl found the first treasure?

matt87yi 03-14-12 01:06 PM

I want a beta key!! man i joined and did so many contest now and still have no luck.. :(

btw this banana is awesome :banana:

mmillerx121 03-14-12 02:00 PM

not working properly
 
i clicked a chest and it directed me back to the main clue page like the first one did but i did not get the green check and it did not tell me it was wrong like the wrong ones do? i want to make sure i am entered?

Dolby 03-14-12 02:08 PM

If you don't have a green check on the new clue then you haven't found it. Most likely you found the first chest. ;)

mmillerx121 03-14-12 03:57 PM

no it was for the 2nd clue already knew the first definately an error

Dolby 03-14-12 04:16 PM

It's worked for thousands of others (they have the 2nd clue). You may want to check your cache, browser ad block or something. You are only listed as finding the 1st clue.

Leaky 03-14-12 06:03 PM

Thanks for having this giveaway guys. Good Luck everyone

mmillerx121 03-14-12 06:34 PM

still not working
 
clicked the wrong chest and it says something about arrr no treasure. went to the correct chest click it and it takes me to the contest/clue page with no message and still no completion check

Dolby 03-14-12 06:37 PM

PM me the link of the page your trying to click the treasure. What you discribe is what happens when you click on a chest you've already gotten. You have the first chest but not the 2nd one so thats why I think you're clicking on the wrong one.

SC2SIC 03-14-12 09:06 PM

Found the third clue gl everyone

Leaky 03-14-12 09:12 PM

Same here. : )

Cryptone 03-14-12 09:12 PM

easily done.. :) GL PPL :)

p3lim 03-14-12 09:14 PM

Sweet, thanks :)

ValorPrince 03-14-12 09:25 PM

3rd times a charm.....I hope
 
:eek: Its coming down to the wire now. So far I've found all the Treasure Chests and haven't won squat yet. Hopefully my luck is better on this turn. I really want a Beta Key...bad. I've been waiting a very long time to play Diablo again and from what I've seen the game looks great. Good Luck to everyone and God willing ya'll will wish me the same.:D

Dotard 03-14-12 09:53 PM

Found it! Hopefully I will be one of the five :/

RushMR 03-14-12 10:31 PM

Good luck to everyone :banana:

Coldkil 03-14-12 10:59 PM

first two gone bad, third found!

@p3lim: maybe complaining had some results XD nice get m8.

karknieg 03-15-12 12:26 AM

I would love to know how many users we are competing against. But thank you for not making us jump through hoops to stand a chance. Hope the last clue gives us a challenge - no offense but it's been easy to find the chests so far. :p

mmillerx121 03-15-12 12:42 AM

finally got the 2nd one to work after i got the 3rd not sure what happened but screwed my chances in that second drawing :(

jaydenmccross 03-15-12 01:47 AM

This is AWESOME! Thank you for another chance to attempt to win a beta key! Ive been literally scouring the internet for contests to get a chance at the beta. Good luck to everyone who enters! :)

barn0711 03-15-12 01:47 AM

gl everyone....:) Hope to win a key

Larm 03-15-12 02:03 AM

Second draw passed and still no luck... So, found third treasure and hope to win this time. And really, how much players do we compete with? What are the odds?

Nadas 03-15-12 02:28 AM

Excellent competition. Praying for good luck...:rolleyes:

Nibelheim 03-15-12 02:29 AM

I wonder how many new accounts have been made on WoW-I :p

Slichan 03-15-12 03:08 AM

How can you find the third clue to be easy? :mad:
The first two went smooth as a baby ham but this one is hard imo :(
It's got to be broken for me, i've checked every corner of the site but nothing....
I've found a total of four chests on the site, 2 of them for the first two clues, another that leads to the contest info and the fourth wich contains no treasure :/

Edit: Foolish me, found it now :)
