'Find the Stardog' Hunt Begins!
Monday, December 15, 2008 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing
The hunt for Stardog begins at 12pm EST today. Hunt down Stardog throughout our various sites for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate to the Impulse Store. There will be a winner each day!
How to play:
Entrants must register for an Impulse account in order to play. If you already have an Impulse account, you don't need to do anything else before the contest begins. Each day during the contest there will be a new scavenger hunt with a different winner for every day.
The first clue will always be shown on the Stardog page. Clues are identified by an image of Stardog hidden somewhere on the page. To reveal the clue, click on the image of Stardog, and he will give you a hint for your next destination, where you will need to look for his new hiding spot.
Everytime you find a clue there will be a letter in Stardog's paw print. Keep track of the letters in each clue.
Once you have found the final clue and solved the scrambled word, you will be asked to enter your Impulse account information. This information will be sent to the prize department and they will contact you with information on how to receive your prize. The dynamic chart above will show how many contestants have found each clue and when the daily winner has completed the hunt. Once the winner has been found, the hunt will end for that day.
Make sure you have your Impulse account setup, and get ready to play!

I give up. I've gont through every theme and wincustumize item I can find. I just can't find the second clue. Though I have to say it's odd that no winner has been found yet..

The system is rather annoying because I suspected where the second clue was but I walked past the page twice before the dog actually loaded onto it. Got stumped on #5.

I knew exactly what #5 was right away, since I own a copy of Galactic Civilizations II, but I visited the wrong website for it (galciv2.com instead of impulsedriven.com).

Well, as of 14:19PM, i could forward an answer and we'll see who's the lucky fastest winner (most probably not me!) -- and there was 22 (+1 
) validated solvers for them to pick from!
EDIT: I just switched tabs to verify contest status, refreshed the page & believe it or not, that number has just raised to 33 over the last 8 minutes!!
I really loved this Tuesday one, can't wait for the remaining week days.
Thanks, SD!

The number of people the chart shows changes every time I restart my browser, except for now, as the Progress Tracker is not showing at all.
For instance though: clue #1 showed ~50 people earlier. I restarted my browser. Then it showed ~94 people on clue #1. I restarted my browser. Then it showed ~70 people on clue #1. And so on...

feh!! Couldn't unscramble the word for the life of me. Had to find a word unscrambler online. I was a little embarrassed after I saw the answer.

Damn sports question, I spent over two hours looking through skin packages and never found a hockey thing. I give up...

I had a problem there too. i mean i found the hocky themes but the dog didnt show u until 3 hours later.

I'm guessing we're not supposed to give hints. Then again, i'd be decreasing my chances of winning. (yes, I'm a greedy bastard )
Reply #37 Tuesday, December 16, 2008 4:25 PM
Anyone know the answer to the hockey clue? I got stuck there and couldn't find the dog even after going through all the pages.

The rules have changed. It's not about being first, it's random among all who get the secret word right now... It's more fair to everyone that way. Best of luck to everyone

More fair? The hell if it is.
Now those who actually do well on this have a lower chance, and others who did poorly have a greater chance. How is that fair? Are you a socialist?
I for one am pretty upset about that, especially since the longer they leave the freaking game running, the lower my chances become.
I'm greedy too, you see - and I never win anything that involves luck. This random drawing thing has totally shot my chances of winning.

I just open a new tab for each clue and leave the last one up, refreshing the main Stardog page once in a while to check progress.
