WarCry's WotLK Scavenger Hunt Contest!

WotLK Beta Key Scavenger Contest!

We here at WarCry have ten more Wrath of the Lich King beta keys to hand out... and this time, we'll be asking entrants to do, well, a little hunting.

Hidden around various news posts and articles on the WarCry network ...are little badges that look like this:

There are ten of them in total, and they're all up now. To help you in your hunt, though, we'll be giving hints - every weekday at 3 PM EDT from now until Wednesday, September 3rd, we'll give two more hints to the locations of the ten badges.

In order to successfully enter, players will need to submit the URLs of the ten pages that have badges hidden on them (much like our Ransom Note contest, you can check to make sure they're correct before submitting, so don't worry about getting them wrong!) by 3 PM EDT on Thursday, September 4th. Ten winners will be selected from all eligible entries, and those lucky ten will be given beta keys that can be instantly used to upgrade an active World of WarCraft account to join Jayne(z) and the Awesome Brigade up in Northrend!

The first two hints, for badges #1 and #2, are:


#1: You might consider this contest a second chance?

#2: Teen Adventurers' Squad: Pyromaniac! AFK! Stab-Your-Face! The other one!

To enter, head on over to the contest page, and keep checking for new clues!

Happy Hunting!

Are the clues going to be getting more difficult because the first two took me about 20 seconds. Also, are there any restrictions on these articles? All WoW, posted at a certain time, only on page 1?

The first two are easily the easiest ones, I think :P They're also the most recent.

Not all of them will be WoW. And some of them range fairly far back.

For one and two, just think about what's been up on the site recently, they're not that hard.

For the rest? Start reading, I got them purely through brute-force clicking through the archives. I only found two by actually using my brain and no, I won't tell you where they are.

Unless you know where #9 is.

Nah I got 1, and I don't understand two... I'll just flip through the archives.
Would they be after #1, or could they be anywhere in any order?

haha this is driving me crazy. I like it tho. :) I've found 6 and 10 so far. I've no clue what 1 & 2 are. I don't even know where to begin with those two. I should visit this site more often!

Okay, back to the hunt. I'll update here with the ones I've found.

So far: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 & 10.

EDIT: Haha, so I've come to the conlusion that randomly searching for these badges isn't the best way to go about things. I'll wait for the hints.

Sure Yura, what you do is, You are given clues on where to find the WoW WotLK Emblems. Each Emblem is either in a News posts, or an Article. The Hint's they give you will hint towards a Game or an Article, and that leads you off to a little "Scavenger hunt" through the Posts.

Good luck =)

The 4th one is pretty brutal. I think I'll find it quicker by just powering through all the articles.

EDIT: Accidentally came across the 4th one. Need 7, 8 & 9.

They should only give out clues for the first 5. People who really want it will be willing to find them, plus no clues = more page hits = more ad revenue ;).
