Starbucks' Digital Scavenger Hunt: Win Gift Cards, Printers & More
If you are a fan of Starbucks like me, then you’ll definitely want to check out this new digital scavenger hunt powered by Starbucks. To start, you need to head over here and register (you must log in with your Facebook account). Keep in mind that the next round starts today, May 23rd, at 10AM PST (1PM EST) so check out the rules below so that you’re ready to play!
Here’s how the game works:
* On the appropriate date and time (see round schedule below), head over here and click on the day’s date to view the image. Each image on the game site represents the start of a clue trail, and each trail leads to a small SRCH card hidden somewhere on the web. Click that card to win.
* Keep in mind that SRCH game icons have been scattered all across the digital universe. Prizes vary in quantity and value per round (the more valuable the prize, the harder the clues are to find and solve for that prize). Clues may be in the form of text, graphics or video; you’ll be sent throughout various digital channels, anywhere from Facebook to Shazam to gather clues.
* If you are the first (up to the stated number of winners in that particular round) to successfully find(s) and solve(s) the clues in a particular round, you’ll will win a prize.

This is cool I guess but who has time to do this??
LOL! Excatly! Talk about a needle in a haystack………
oops. I meant exactly.
Yeah, and while you are doing this scavenger hunt, you could be missing out on some good Hip freebies! You know what I mean?
You also have to use a smartphone since you have to tag apps & stuff.
It just keeps telling me to log in through facebook, but I do, and it still won’t let me play- lame!
the first clue is O I R B E H H C R S. All I can say is WTF. Help!!
lol, exactly.
the clue it gave me was
yrolg f_ egde I dna uoy lepahc cirtcele revol latem yvaeh (evol ot daor) nroc_nu yawhgih sdik da_ y_am ydoolb _bie_cs ria_ ona_irema saduj rekooh tnemn_evog yaw _iht nrob thgin eht yrram
the clue is what letters are missing. which is what Rae posted
The do the missing letters help unscramble words??
so the letters come out to…
O
I R B
E H H C
R S
Can’t figure it out. googled front and backwards. Any luck??
nope, I even tried an unscramble to see if it would come up with anything. the gift cards are going quick! I bet its simple with our luck…lol
Srch hebrio
but i don’t know what that means…
maybe srch her bio?
keyword search on starbucks home page – no results. we are overthinking it?? hahaha
Okay – I’ve correctly found the clue and it’s telling me congrats you solved it but the ecards are all gone -yet the clue states there are over 100 remaining. I won’t play this one again.
oh lame!!!
When they are gone can you tell us what the answer is? It’s driving me crazy!
I have no idea what those letters spell out.
it says SRCH HER BIO backwards
i heart you ashley
Don’t give up for the next ones! I won one of the cards and it only took me about 3-4 minutes! Give it another try on the 25th!
Since all the cards are gone now. Where was the SRCH picture?
I think may have to do with LG lyrics..hmmm..
Lady Gaga
srch her bio- some kind of bio for lady gaga
First of all I hate lady gaga. That was torture having to look through her site. lol And when I found it they were all gone. I refreshed the starbucks page and it said 0 remaining. Dang it!
can anyone share with us where the answer was since they are all gone?
When you went to her bio, there was a hidden link that said SRCH was here. When you clicked on it, it took you to a picture on their Facebook page of a Starbucks in New York. Then you had to go to the Starbucks page and search for that store. When you found the store there was a little SRCH picture for that location. If you clicked on that you would find the prize, but I was too late…
I got stuck trying to find the store. Which store was it? I knew it was in NY, but I couldn’t find the particular store.
The exact address was 295 Madison.
lol crazy! thanks for sharing Shanon!
And I now have reason 2,659 to detest Starbucks.
Ughs…just found it but too late! That was fun!
where was it?
http://www.ladygaga.com/bio
start from the end and read it backwards then fill in the missing letters.
i got that it was in her bio, but i search the bio and didn’t see it… am i missing something?
people don’t seem to get that we combed through her bio on her website and obviously missed whatever it was.
was it a pop up? a hidden link? a key word to enter somewhere?
It was a link in the bio that said SRCH was here.
I got this message “Hey- Glad you’re here, but to participate in SRCH you’ll need to log in through Facebook and get registered.” I DID “Like” them and I filled out their REGISTER page, so have no idea why I am getting this message. How frustrating. 🙁
Well, that was fun. Found it, but obviously too late. At least my brain got a workout! Tee hee!
What did you find and where was it?
Go here https://www.ladygaga.com/bio/default.aspx click on SRCH in 2nd paragraph…then to to Starbucks store locator…search for NYC Library Way and click on the one for E 41st Ave and Madison. The SRCH card is there…
ok so i get how you find it but am i just completely missing out on how you even know to go to her bio in the first place? all the clues were the names of her songs so how did you know to go to her bio?
Bummer & I looked on her bio. Never saw the link. I must have looked there after it was done.

where was the link at in the bio? The words, black so you couldn’t see it etc???
ok in her bio the second paragraph it talks about her and social media, and then it says SRCH WAS HERE… then it takes you to the photo.
She is also the only artist in the digital era to top the 5 million sales mark with her first two hits. Gaga broke the record when her single “Poker Face” reached 5 million in sales after her debut single “Just Dance” accomplished the same feat the year before. She has over 1.3 billion combined views of all her videos online. She is also a staple in the social networking world SRCH WAS HERE.She’s one of the biggest living people on Facebook with over 33 million ‘likes’ and is #1 on Twitter with over 9.5 million followers.
try that… hopefully we can find it next time!
That irritated me a little! But I’ll be more prepared for next time!
ummmm it’s 2:56 est time and i still don’t see may 25 clue help????
Today is only May 23rd you’ll have to wait a couple days.
who is ready for this?!?! lets do it together! 😉
what the heck is this clue!
