Wired - Disappear
Friday 5th of February 2010
Last August Wired author Evan Ratliff tried to Vanish by moving and changing his identity. Wired readers found him in 25 days. Now Wired and the movie RepoMen are giving 3 people the same opportunity. If you think you can Disappear for a month while readers dig into your background and try to find you, then submit your application by February 10, 2010. If selected you'll receive $2500 to help you run, and an additional $7500 if you can make it a month without being caught.

Burn Notice Covert Ops Returns
Thursday 21st of January 2010
After the previous post about USA's new White Collar contest and last year's disappointing Cover Ops 3 it appeared USA had changed its focus.

Not so, as Cover Ops 4 is here, and it returns to the successful formula of the first two outings. Complete all 7 missions and you'll be entered to win a new Hyundai Genesis Coupe. USA is now running two highly entertaining mission based contests with new cars up for grabs. Kudos USA!

Two New Puzzle Contests
Thursday 21st of January 2010
USA is giving away a Ford Taurus in the Chasing the Shadow game. Step into the world of the TV show White Collar and solve weekly challenges involving observation, code breaking, and other detective skills. So far this contest is highly entertaining and relates nicely to the show in a way that is similar to the past Burn Notice Covert Ops games.
TNT brought back the Leverage HQ game for the third year. This year prizes are much smaller and the games are more like arcade games, but it is still enjoyable. $1000 electronics prizes are given away each week to the top game scorer and to a randomly selected entrant.

HGTV Dream Home 2010
Friday 1st of January 2010
New Year's Day once again kicks off with HGTV Dream Home sweepstakes. Enter daily for your chance to win an amazing house located in New Mexico. The home is fully furnished including a brand new GMC Terrain in the garage. HGTV has returned to including cash with the prize, something they haven't done since 2007. This prize includes $500,000 cash which can help cover the tax burden on the house. All of the past Dream Home winners have had to sell the house due to the income tax and property tax burden, but a quick sale can easily net the winner over $1 million after taxes. The HGTV Dream Home is usually the biggest online sweepstakes prize of the year with millions of entries. Happy New Year!

Puzzle Contest Winners
Friday 11th of December 2009
A number of puzzle based contests wrapped up in the last few months, and we congratulate the winners:
Congratulations to Laura Hall on winning the $100,000 grand prize in Levi's Go Forth contest. She cracked the final code and then went on a treasure hunt to find the prize. You can read about her experiences here.
Congratulations to the MIT team on winning the Darpa Network Challenge. Darpa floated 10 red balloons across the country for just a few hours and challenged players to create a social network to locate all 10 balloons. MIT used a pyramid payout plan to share the $40,000 prize money with people successfully finding balloons.
Congratulations to Michael S for winning the Leader of the Post-2012 World Election contest. The 12 top scorers in the puzzle contest then entered campaign videos in a voting contest for the movie 2012. Michael S received the most votes to win the trip to Cancun.
Congratulations to Beth Gleason of Illinois and Jeanette Underwood of Georgia for winning Volvo XC60's in the Twilight themed What Drives Edward contest. The winners had to be the first two people to solve online puzzles that related to the New Moon movie. Volvo only planned to award a car to the winner, but in a surprise move they gave a car to the second place player as well.
The highly entertaining Butterfinger “Dude Where's My Bar” contest is also over, but the winner has not been announced.
