Just got an email from American Sky - The prize is a 6 day trip exploring Maryland, Washington, DC and Virginia.

I haven't had time to start the quiz. But looks like lots of help needed on this one.

Ts & Cs are HERE

After registering you get to the first stage -

MISSION OBJECTIVES - HOW TO PLAY

Welcome. You’ve been recruited by the TBI (Transatlantic Bureau of Investigation) as a secret agent. Your mission is to track down a double agent called Brad Summers who is working against the TBI.

To find Brad you need to complete a series of challenges and then pinpoint his location on a map. Each challenge you complete successfully will take you closer to his location. The agent that places the pin closest to his precise location by the closing date of the 28 February 2015 will win the fantastic holiday prize (You can find out more about the prize in the menu above).

This is a game of intelligence. You need to be resourceful and use Google, Instagram and other websites to find clues and solve the challenges.

Next you’ll be taken to mission control to complete your mission briefing and start your challenges. Click proceed below.

There appears to be 9 separate challenges to complete and you can save and log again to pick up where you left off.
