Ahoy, Mateys: Volvo Launches Worldwide 'Pirate' Treasure Hunt for a Buried Volvo XC90 V8 SUV


Participate in Volvo's Promotion With Disney for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., June 7 /PRNewswire/

-- Ever wanted to experience the ways of a true buried treasure-seeking pirate? Volvo Car Corporation will support its official promotion of Disney's upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest with a global, multi-media treasure hunt for a Volvo XC90 V8 that has been buried somewhere in the world.

    Here's how she blows, me hearties: beginning June 12 through July 11, individuals nationwide can visit their local Volvo retailer to pick up a free treasure map. Once online, they are asked to go to http://www.volvocars.us/thehunt to register for the world's first hunt for a buried vehicle. Treasure hunters then will participate in a challenging, engaging and fun-filled online adventure to solve a series of online clues and puzzles.

    The buried one-of-a-kind, pirate-themed Volvo XC90 features a variety of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest-inspired elements, including menacing graphics from the film, black leather seats, custom painted 20 inch wheels and more.

    Once registered online, individuals will have puzzles emailed to them on a regular basis. Those who solve the puzzles correctly will continue to receive clues. Individuals can join at any time though July 11, and can catch up with other participants if they correctly answer the puzzles posted online as they are emailed to participants. As the contest progresses, the puzzles will become increasingly harder to solve, with the final online clue e-mailed July 12. Volvo Car Corporation will then select seven finalists from around the world who correctly guess the answer to the final online clue.

    In August, those finalists will be flown with a guest to the secret car burial location. Each finalist will then set-off on a manic on-the-ground search for the buried vehicle. The first treasure hunter to unearth the SUV gets to keep it.

    To participate, individuals must visit a Volvo retailer to pick up a treasure map. Winners will only be eligible if they can produce the original treasure map upon conclusion of the hunt.

    In addition to the United States, other Volvo regions participating in the hunt include the United Kingdom, Japan, Spain and Austria.

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest opens in U.S. theaters July 7.

ahoy me hearty that tis it.  to play use this code s1l73R then start your hunt.  i am at step 17 now.  so start it is not too late to win an xc 90.   there are other codes for other countries.  this is the usa code.  but you can get one at any volvo dealer.    but if you are close to winning better get the real entry form.  if you just want to see how good you are not necessary.  it is not easy trust me.

Yeah, but it's a Volvo. If I knew there was one buried in my front yard, I still wouldn't dig it up.

If it was a 1973 P1800 ES Sportwagon, however, I'd make an exception.

I have heard of people being berried, crushed, or burned in there car, but never digging one up.  It is such damn good marketing that I have to trot my a** back to FL as soon as Pirates of Caribbean reopens in Disney.  Side note did everyone know that Fossil make the majority of Disney's watches.

I agree ...I wouldnt ruin my yard digging up a Volvo....I have bought quite a few of them to resell only finding out it will take thousands to make it saleable....with the $ that will be made off that movie ...they could afford to give away a vintage shelby

This all sounds hideously involved.  Can you post a link, or something, to where this bloody contest begins. 

If you have all the answers thus far, I'd at least like to see if I can manage one that's correct.  :)  If I win, you can have the car.........I sure don't want it.

Ouch!   That is harsh!   I guess it takes a special person to appreciate a Volvo.  Just like not everyone is nuts about Ikea I guess.  I'm not hunting for the XC-90, but I would love a little 1800!!

 

Cheers!
