Volvo Discloses 10 Spots Where It Didnt Sink Its Treasure
The thrill of finding Volvos treasure chest is increasingly building up. To intensify the escapade a bit further Volvo Cars is leaking vital hints to aid treasure hunters. The Swedish automaker has already disclosed ten spots where it did not sink the treasure.
The treasure chest contains 50000 in gold doubloons and a key to a brand new XC90 that would come equipped with cutting edge Volvo OEM parts. Volvo has been calling all pirates scallywags and treasure fanatics to join The Hunt a part of the automakers promotion with Disney’s new film Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End which opens in theatres on May 25. On May 4th tens of thousands of wouldbe pirates joined The Hunt and set sail on a virtual high seas quest solving a chain of online clues and puzzles that will eventually lead to the treasure chest.
“Threequarters of the earth’s surface is under water so finding a sunken treasure chest is not going to be easy” said Linda Gangeri the 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.”
The automakers disclosed hints include:
1. The Dead Sea. Volvo wanted to sink its treasure not float it.
2. The Red Sea. The Swedish automakers colors are blue.
3. The Sea of Love. While the automaker truly admires the treasure hunt participants this sentiment may be a little strong. Besides it’s a song.
4. The Sea of Tranquility. Volvo wanted to make the hunt accessible to everyone not just astronauts landing on the moon.
5. The Caspian Sea. It may be the world’s mightiest lake but it’s no challenge for the seafaring pirates. The automaker wanted to deliver a real highseas adventure.
6. Off the Shores of Skeleton Island a.k.a. Treasure Island. Way too obvious Volvo learned from last year’s Hunt that they have to keep the treasure hunters on their toes.
7. Bermuda Triangle. The automaker wanted to make sure the treasure was difficult to find not impossible.
8. Atlantis. It was a hot favorite but the company couldn’t find it.
9. Sea World. Volvo already has enough sharks going after its treasure.
10. Watergate. Enough people went under.
“Okay okay. Maybe it is a stretch to call The Hunt one of the greatest mysteries of the deep but it certainly has got a lot of people flummoxed” said Linda Gangeri the national advertising manager for Volvo Cars of North America. “We thought some of our more prodigious participants might enjoy pitting their wit and skill against some ageold mysteries… but even if they solve them the only way to get your hands on Volvo’s treasure is by joining our Hunt!”
Last year’s program was limited to residents of the United States United Kingdom Japan Spain and Austria. Now the competition includes Bulgaria Canada Germany Hong Kong Indonesia Italy South Korea Malaysia Mexico Norway Philippines Poland Romania Russia Singapore Sweden Taiwan and Thailand.
There is still time to join The Hunt! Somewhere on the ocean floor lays a treasure chest full of pirate gold and a key to a new Volvo. And it is eagerly waiting to be discovered
