Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt #7 Winner, and a Little Charity

Posted by Alex in Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt on December 15, 2008 at 4:55 pm

We’ve picked the winner for last week’s Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt on Neatorama at random (Answer page here). Congratulations to bailey1121 who won a gorgeous Tokyoflash I nfection watch in silver.

In the 500+ entries that we got, one really stood out: GrouchieGrumbles (entry #128) told us that if he/she should win, then we should just donate the prize to Toys for Tots charity. A Neatorama reader who prefers only to be called "a retired US Navy radioman" pointed this out to me.

Both of us are touched at the gesture, so we’ve decided to both donate $100 each to Toys for Tots, in honor of GrouchieGrumbles (whoever he is). This Christmas, times are tough – so Toys for Tots and other charities need our help more than ever. I’d like to invite you go open your heart (and wallet) and donate a little something.

Thank you to GrouchieGrumbles for his kind offer, to the anonymous Neatorama reader who contacted me about it, and lastly, to all of you who have done your parts in helping the less fortunate this holiday season.

Here’s the link to: Marine Toys for Tots Foundation

The answers (black, 30, and frenchify) make a URL on the website. If you string ‘em together you get: http://www.neatorama.com/black-30-frenchify (go on, cut and paste this URL in your browser).

Then, all you need to do is enter your name and Tokyoflash watch preference (don’t forget what color) in the comment. The winner will be picked at random.

Got that? Okay, here are the questions:

1. What is the name of the Tokyoflash watch pictured above? Hint: It’s their latest and greatest!
2. What is the last word uttered by the Cowardly Lion in one of Mike Jacobsen’s awesome T-Shirts available on Neatorama’s Online Store? (If you like it – please buy one and help support the blog!)
3. What is the word above the 6 hour bar (6 LEDs) in a watch labeled as "Stranger than your mother-in-law" at Tokyoflash?

Find out the answers at TokyoFlash and Neatorama’s Online Store, then string ‘em together to make the URL (all words are lower case). Good luck!

Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt #2 Extended One More Day: Hurry!

Posted by Alex in Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt on June 6, 2008 at 7:58 pm

Because our online shop was down for part of the time, I’m extending the Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt contest by one more day.

Here’s your chance to win a free Tokyoflash watch. How awesome is that? Simply answer these three easy-peasy questions:

1. Which Tokyoflash watch has 27 multi-colored LEDs that pulsate and move like cells across the watch’s curved surface?

2. How many "freckles" are on the greenest creation of Adam "Ape Lad" Koford on Neatorama’s Online Store?

3. Back to Tokyoflash, which watch has a "multi-color mode" that rotates through all the colors and a custom engraved wristband?

There are over 150 people who got it right, but since some of you are having trouble, here are some additional clues:#1 and #3 are some of Tokyoflash’s newest watches. There are 2 watches that fit the answer to #3 (mea culpa), so try them one by one if you don’t get it right.

Now, this is important: the answers will make a URL on Neatorama.com, simply type "http://www.neatorama.com/answer-answer-answer" and hit enter. If you see a 404 Error page, then you don’t have it right. All words are lower case, and the number is spelled out ("one" instead of 1).

Good luck!

Update 6/9/08: We have a winner! See who it is at the answer page.

Hooray! It’s time for the highly anticipated Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt #2 on Neatorama!

You can win a Free Tokyoflash watch of your choosing:
all you have to do is answer these three questions. Clues are on the Tokyoflash website and on Neatorama’s Online Store.

1. Which Tokyoflash watch has 27 multi-colored LEDs that pulsate and move like cells across the watch’s curved surface?

2. How many "freckles" are on the greenest creation of Adam "Ape Lad" Koford on Neatorama’s Online Store?

3. Back to Tokyoflash, which watch has a "multi-color mode" that rotates through all the colors and a custom engraved wristband?

Now, the answers to these questions will make a URL on Neatorama: all words are lower case and all numbers are spelled-out (one, three, forty instead of 1, 3, 40). The answers are separated by dashes. (Need a practice test? Check out our first Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt for detailed instructions)

So, remember the answer is: http://www.neatorama.com/watch1-somenumber-watch2
On that "answer" page, you can enter your name and the prize Tokyoflash watch you’d like for a chance to win (the winner will be picked at random from the list).

Good luck!

Update 6/11/08 – Oops, forgot to update this page: We have a winner! See who it is at the answer page.

Introducing Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt, a New Neatorama Game!

Posted by Alex in Tokyoflash Treasure Hunt on May 5, 2008 at 8:45 am

Hooray! I'm excited to announce that we have a brand new contest in collaboration with the good folks at Tokyoflash (who has the most "geektastic" watches on the planet!)

The new game is a treasure hunt of sorts, and you can win a Free Tokyoflash watch! During the first week of every month, we'll ask three questions about Tokyoflash watches on three consecutive days. The answers to these questions will make a URL on Neatorama.

For example, let's say that the questions are:

1. What color is the "O" in Neatorama's logo?
2. How many posts are on Neatorama's homepage?
3. What's the first insulting word on Neatorama's article 10 Insulting Words You Should Know? (If you haven't read it, go check it out!)

Then the URL would be: http://www.neatorama.com/black-30-frenchify (go on, cut and paste this URL in your browser). On that "answer" page, you can enter your name and the prize Tokyoflash watch you'd like for a chance to win (winner will be picked at random from the list).

Got that? OK! Let's give it a go - here's the first question:

What color are the hour LEDs on the Tokyoflash Kyokusen design?

Go to Tokyoflash.com to find out the answer. We'll continue this game tomorrow!
