Free KFC chicken

Chicken Stare-Off

Want free chicken? Prepared to stare at a screen for it?

KFC are giving away loads of wings, wraps & snackboxes if you can watch chicken on your laptop screen without blinking. When you win you can download a PDF with a unique code that you'll need to print off and use before the 16th.

It's definitely more difficult than it looks- you get five tries and you'll need a computer with a webcam to do this.

My top tips are:

- Turn your screen brightness down

- DON'T MOVE, it can be mistaken for a blink

- Try not to look at the screen, just sort of stare through it

-Cheat and close your eyes after the final blink to start the game. Open them after the music stops.

    A page should come up at the end for you to choose your prize and click to download a pdf voucher. Maybe try a different internet browser.
  • Changed to Chrome and it worked fine. Thanks for the find and post.

    Thanks OP - managed to get "All stars."
  • A key tip for those that are struggling with this. If you have a laptop hooked up to the TV, then this is simple to complete.

    All you have to do is stare at the laptop screen, which in my case is blank.

    Yes, you have to stare at your own reflection but, hey, that's not so bad, is it? ;):p
    Life's what you make it....

    Life beyond voluntary work scares me, but what else is there? :cry:

    Thanks OP :beer:
    The voucher is only valid for 5 days so may be worth planning when you are going to KFC before playing the game.


    Please be aware that the game contains flashing images. As the game involves staring, participants should play responsibly and take regular breaks. Participants should stop playing if they feel any eye strain, dizziness or any other discomfort.

    The promotion is open to UK and Republic of Ireland residents only and there is no purchase necessary. Directors and employees of Kentucky Fried Chicken (Great Britain) Limited or any affiliated company, their agencies and anyone professionally connected with this promotion cannot enter.

    Participants will be limited to winning one voucher per day. Each voucher can only be redeemed once. Vouchers will be valid for five days from date of issue and are non-transferable. There are no cash or alternative prizes available and the Promoter is free to change or substitute the prize at any time. The cash value of the voucher is 0.0001p.

    Participants must be 16 years or over.

    The promotion is intended to run from 10 February 2014 to midnight 27 April 2014, though the Promoter reserves the right to cease, amend or suspend the promotion at any time without notice.

    Five levels of product voucher are available to be won – Hot Wings, Mini-Fillet Burger, Streetwise Wrap, Streetwise Snack Box and Streetwise All Stars. Participants will have been deemed to have won by ‘staring’ at the KFC Chicken within the Chicken Stare Off game for a set amount of time without blinking, as determined by the webcam tracking parameters set within the game

  • I did this with my laptop's built in webcam and the lighting isn't great in my room, I'm sure I blinked multiple times, but it only registered me blinking once towards the end.

    I got myself a snackbox voucher and downloaded the PDF it comes in (then had to convert it to a JPG to put it on my iphone) luckily we have a KFC in my town centre which is only a two minute walk from my house. I used it last night, the poor counter staff were a bit confused how to process it but the manager came over and sorted it out and I got a mini fillet breast snackbox, which is basically a decent sized piece of chicken and a large chips.

    I brought it home to eat and really enjoyed it - it was actually my first KFC meal, then I stopped in again this afternoon and they accepted the voucher again with no problem - I don't know if this will be ok in other KFC's but in mine they didn't write down the voucher number and it was different staff when I went in. I told my cousin about the offer because he lives directly opposite the KFC so he and his partner can both put the vouchers on their phones and take advantage of the free food.

    I have to say if you can get the snackbox it's worth it, the size of the chicken and the chips is very filling.

    Couldn't you just get an a4 print out of your face and hold that up in front of your webcam?
