To participate

Requires The Great Eggscape Egg Hunt app on iOS & Android. The promotion will be conducted in store, at all Big W stores in Australia.

How it works

There will be 5 hidden Bluetooth powered beacons in each Big W store. Individuals are required to locate a Hidden Egg in a Big W store, using the App, in order to gain an entry into the draw(s) corresponding to that particular Hidden Egg. Individuals who locate all five (5) Hidden Eggs, using the App in a single Big W store will also receive an entry into the Final prize draw.

Furthermore, the first 300 individuals to visit each Big W store will be prompted to receive a gift of one milk chocolate egg valued at $2. Individuals need to show the app downloaded on their device.

One entry permitted per draw more or less.

  • Maybe i'm not reading quite right, but aren't some of these national prizes a bit unfair due to time differences?

    • I think it's just poorly worded when it says the "first (10) valid entires". Given that the T&Cs say:

      "All draws will take place at Saatchi & Saatchi, 70 George Street, The Rocks, NSW 2000 on 09/04/2015 from 1:00pm AEST."

      I believe it means that all draws will take place on the one day and it will be the "first 10 valid entries drawn" so they could come from any state.

      • More referring to the 'egg' prizes, seems to say like the first 4/6/etc will get the prize. Hmm..

        • Its drawn per store

        • @Spackbace: Thing is this "Hidden Egg 5 prize draws: the first four (4) valid entries from all entries received nationally in the Hidden Egg 5 draw will each win a Nintendo WiiU Mario Kart 8 Premium Console Pack valued at $429" Sounds like 4 nationally rather than per store, it's very vague.

        • @happychild100:

          Edit Ok its part national, part per store.

          This part national:

          the first four (4) valid entries from all entries received nationally in the Hidden Egg 5 draw will each win a Nintendo WiiU Mario Kart 8 Premium Console Pack valued at $429. Each pack includes: 1 x 32GB Wii U Premium console; 1 x Wii U GamePad; and 1 x Mario Kart 8 game installed.

          This part per store:

          The first valid entry drawn from all entries received in each Big W store in the Hidden Egg 5 draw will each win a Yoshi Amiibo figure valued at $17.

        • @Spackbace: Oh it says that after (for Egg 5) but i'm not really sure what it's trying to say to be honest, perhaps it's just me. Based off the maximum cost for each state, for egg 5 (for example), it's 1 yoshi amiibo per store and then UP to 4 Wii u's, which is 4 nationwide if i'm correct.

        • @happychild100:
          Yeah sorry you probably missed my edit :P

          Anyway I just checked and this is all being fixed up tomorrow when it actually goes live

        • @Spackbace: Yep did miss your edit haha.
          Any ideas on if it starts at a single time for all states then? Or what is meant to be fixed as such? Site doesn't even have anything on it except for the terms

        • @happychild100:
          Yeah terms dont even say a start time, they normally do. Maybe check back at midnight, see if the site is live :)

  • Promotion commences tomorrow…

      And jees talk about lack of info!

      First 300/store claim a free $2 easter egg

      Find all 5 easter eggs in the store, go into the main draw for the car

      Each hidden egg corresponds to the chance to win that prize, which will be drawn at the end, of which it will be 22 prizes per store.

      And there's more, but OP doesn't feel like bothering…

      • By OP, do you mean me? I feel like bothering. What am I supposed to be bothered about?

        • Sigh have a look at other competition threads and see. Just copy pasting the T's and C's (which wasn't even done at the start) doesn't tell someone how to enter,what they win, nothing. Instead it just leaves it up to a mod to fix your mess.

        • +1

          Posting all the T&C is even worse, just use the specified section to link it to. Better off just posting some of the details such as dates, prizes, how to enter, etc.

        • @Spackbace: Oh, okay. So you mean that the poster should read and translate the legalese so that it makes sense to the average comper. Cool, I'll give that a go next time.

    Thanks hamza :)

  • My device is not compatabile :-(

  • +1

    Word has it from another site that this doesn't start till Thursday (despite the ts and cs), so dont be surprised if the beacons arent turned on in store yet

    • +2

      Bit late but I went in with a friend and they basically said the same thing, though we picked up our free eggs though. Funnily enough, the hot-cold meter was working near the storage door so haven't been put out yet for sure.

      • Generic brand egg? :P

    • I think you might be right here. I was at big w in QV today and the clues are fairly obvious but there was nothing detected

  • Hidden egg 1 Prize Draw sounds like a nightmare tbh, 10 freaking kilos of chocolate. Are they trying to kill us, knowing we won't be able to stop once we start eating???

  • Someone asked on their facebook page about start date in the end, even they are saying the 16th it started but they are planning to escalate to management and get back to us.

  • I just tried.. It gets close to hot, but no matter where I try standing, it doesn't go all the way to the end..

  • Completed successfully at Marion SA.

  • Went to give it a shot, app not compatible with my Galaxy S5…that's ridiculous!

    • It's not compatible with my iPhone either. How annoying! :(

      • Mine worked, iPhone 5.
