We had a lot of fun at the recent GeekWire Summit with a challenge we called the “Treasure Trunk.” (Regular readers will get the joke.) On each day of the event, we filled a giant trunk with prizes, and gave attendees a puzzle that led to a secret combination to unlock the trunk.
Attendees who cracked the code were able to take one prize out of the trunk — ranging from shirts and books to high-tech gadgets and lottery tickets. (A big thanks to sponsors Hughes Media Law Group and Lending Robot for contributing prizes and making the Treasure Trunk possible.)
In fact, it was so much fun that we decided to extend the challenge to GeekWire readers in virtual form.
Here’s how it works: Solve the puzzle below to come up with a four-digit code. The first 10 people will be able to use that code for a credit of up to $30 on the GeekWire Store — featuring shirts, mugs, smartphone cases and more from your favorite tech news site.
The answer to the puzzle will give you a four-digit code that you can use for the $30 credit on GeekWire swag. Just enter the code when you check out. Solve quickly and act fast to claim one of the credits, and if you’re not fast enough, don’t worry, we’ll have a second puzzle next week.
(GeekWire Summit attendees will have an advantage, having seen the puzzle before. Consider it one of the perks of attending.)
We’ll be bringing back the real Treasure Trunk, with new puzzles, for the GeekWire Gala, our big holiday party on Dec. 2 at MOHAI in Seattle. Grab your tickets here, and looking forward to seeing you there!
