50th Celebration Social Media Hunt
In addition to the special events mentioned above, we will be hosting a scavenger hunt on our official NETCOT socials. Three separate sixteen-character codes will be released into the game for players to redeem a special 50th Celebration prize throughout the month of October. Each code will be divided into four, decipherable hints and each hint will be posted on our socials. For example, if the first code of the month was “PRJT-FLRD-OCT1-1971”, hint #1 would be catered to the first section of the code (PRJT), hint #2 (FLRD), and so on. Code hints may switch social media platforms throughout the month. However, hints for each individual code will be published to the same platform. For instance, all four hints for code #1 could be posted on Instagram while all hints for code #2 can be found on Twitter. An announcement will be made along with the final hint for each code to indicate the end of one code before the start of another. Codes will be redeemable up to one month after the post date of their last clue. Thus, each code will have a different expiration date based on when their last clue was posted.
