This starts tommorrow in The Mirror, there isn't any specific details of what the competition entails but prizes include £20,000 of Theo Fennell jewellery, £20,000 in cash, signed Quo albums and VIP gig tickets.
No info yet on how the treasure hunt actually works. I'm hoping we won't all have to each buy a newspaper for a unique code but i reckon it will be something like that.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, the full details will be out tommorrow i'm gonna check online (www.mirror.co.uk) before buying the paper.

Here it is. Closes September 22nd if you want to update your title.
https://www.million21.com/v2/Microsites/DailyMirror/
We’ve teamed up with music legends Status Quo - to help celebrate the launch of their new album 'In Search Of The Fourth Chord' (out Monday 17th September), together with Theo Fennell and F Hinds the jewellers...
There is £40,000 worth of fantastic prizes you could uncover if you enter our Status Quo In Search Of The Fourth Chord treasure hunt:- 2 x Theo Fennell Jewellery Pieces, worth £10,000 each!
- 4 x £5,000 Cash Prizes
- 40 x Pairs of Backstage Meet & Greet Concert Tickets
- 40 x Signed ‘In Search of the Fourth Chord’ Albums
We’ve hidden all these prizes inside our Fourth Chord. All you have to do is find them! Just read below for how.
STEP 1: The Fourth Chord has been turned into a grid and referenced A-Z and 1-1,444 (bit like a map). The prizes are hidden within the grids. Pick a grid reference where you think there may be a prize then call or text the grid reference to us. The aim is to uncover a prize before anyone else does!
E.g. If you think there may be a prize in the top left that would be A1, or if you think somewhere bottom centre then perhaps Z700.
STEP 2: We will tell you instantly whether you are cold, warm, hot or a winner. Use the clues to help you locate the prizes – the hotter you are the closer you are to a prize! The first player to enter a grid reference with a prize in it WINS it.
Text DMQUO followed by a space and then your grid reference to 88821.
Or call 0904 1600 117 have a pen handy and follow instructions.
Or you can enter here online! The FIRST entry is FREE ONLINE.I've been lucky, I'll be lucky again. ~ Bette Davis0 -
