Last year, in connection with the release of Pirates of the Carribean: Dean Man’s Chest, Vovlo buried one of their cars and set up a series of puzzle games for contestants to play.
This year, in connection with the release of Pirates of the Carribean: World’s End, Volvo has dumped a chest full of gold (and a set of car keys) in the ocean for a lucky contestant to find. There will be online puzzle games again. And, of course, a quest to your local Volvo dealer will be a requirement, just like last time.
The contest begins next week, but the sign up page is already live.

I did, but I have no idea how I did. I cheated by researching online for the correct answer. People all said the same thing. I tried it over and it didn’t work. I attempted to solve the problem in all sorts of different ways. I’m not exactly sure what actually solved it instead of the usual annoying and tedious incorrect answer crossbones showing up. The time it did work I changed the URL to the Canadian site instead of American (I am American).
