Avast, scallywags! Just days after launching its online treasure hunt to find a sunken chest containing $50,000 in gold doubloons and a key to a brand new Volvo XC90 "Somewhere in the World," Volvo Car Corporation is leaking valuable clues for treasure hunters around the world.
On May 4th, tens of thousands of would-be pirates joined The Hunt, part of Volvo's promotion with Disney's new film Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, and set sail on a virtual high seas adventure, solving a series of online clues and puzzles that will eventually lead to the treasure.
"Three-quarters of the earth's surface is under water, so finding a sunken treasure chest is not going to be easy," said Linda Gangeri, national advertising manager for Volvo Cars of North America. "We want our hunt to be challenging, but we don't want participants to become discouraged, so we thought we'd help narrow the playing field by revealing ten places where `X' doesn't mark the spot."
