In case you missed the wild action before, here is a recap of the previous Beta Key Giveaways.

Our first contest, on August 6th, was a short text in which we replaced 4 letters with digits (1337).
The first 50 people to find and enter those digits won themselves a Beta Key. We were simply astounded when it took literally only 2 minutes for all of those 50 keys to be won!

With the second contest we went a little bit more "poetic" and perhaps slightly more devious. We published a short poem and once you discovered the pattern (Took all the capitalised letters) you had found the answer: "National". This time it took all of 4 minutes for all 100 keys to be won.

As we started thinking about the third contest we decided that the first two had simply been too easy. We couldn’t have that again. Therefore we put together an elaborate scheme; letting everyone who wanted to solve the riddle visit our different fan sites to gather jumbled up letters and find the solution ("James Salt") that way.
The idea was simple, and in the end 150 people did win a Beta key, although we sadly did bring some of our fan sites to their knees (sooo sorry about that!) Thankfully they are all back and stronger than ever.


The fourth Beta Key contest....

not too many people know about...

This afternoon we sneakily posted a short "treasure hunt", sending people over to the Bad Company site to...well, no need to spoil the fun. Here’s that last riddle so you can get in some practise for the next one.

This afternoon’s riddle (is now over, this is a re-run):
We decided to hold a sneaky contest.
The first 50 people to get the correct answer will once again win a Beta key.
What to do?
Go to EA . com and find the Bad Company page.
On this page there is a big graphic and some text. Find the below text, then take the two words I removed from the below sentence.
"It’s here, download Conquest ... ..."
Enter those two words below and you might win a Beta key!

The next riddle will be presented to you next week!

That’s it for now, folks. Games Convention, here I come.
