Just to be sure, is it at the bottom of the page or in a random position?

Re: EVGA 18th Anniversary Event 2017/07/14 13:42:24 (permalink)
I signed up for the Scavenger Hunt, and can't get it to work at all. First badge was found, answered the questions, clicked submit and got an error message saying:
Β 
"An error occurred while retrieving the questions. Please contact EVGA at 1.888.881.EVGA (3842)"
Β 
But then I got the confirmation email saying that I had found all 10 of the badges, which I hadn't.

Also I have 19/10 Badges found apparently... I've found other badges, but they are 'Unlocked', and I can't click them. I've tried multiple browsers and a different computer, no effect. I don't know if it's just me, but the Scavenger Hunts have never worked properly for me. Did anyone else get this problem?

How deep are people looking? Old news and press releases? Are product pages with the shopping cart included?


Only EVGA.com (so yes, could be old news, could be press releases).  Can't be shopping cart.
 
 
Please note that Badges are found on www.evga.com only and placement on pages is randomized to each participant.
You will not find Badges on other EVGA properties including EVGA Forums, Mods Rigs, EVGA Online Store, etc.

Do Not Post Any Badge Locations. Your post will be edited of removed immediately if you do so. Play fair, no cheating.

Hellxxxjumper, I removed the location for the badge you mentioned. Your post is still the same otherwise. If you have further issues and need to show the location, pm me and I will pass it up or email webmaster@evga.com.

It should be, but some may get randomized to the same location so they want to keep it as fair as possible. I just wanted you to know what I did if you see the "post edited by scarlet tech" thing.

4/10 in less than 30 mins, that's about right. Now, it's time for press releases and news xD

I got the same "An error has occurred with retrieving the questions and answers. Please contact EVGA at 1.888.881.EVGA (3842)" from a badge found on the bottom of the home page.

The link had all the questions linked out, and nothing would submit.

Now hours later, the badges are no longer available for me to view and I am unable to find the badge on the home page and the few others I have found do not total 10.

Did something break with my account when I found the 10 badge in one link?

I've found 6 and looked for the past hour and not found another, never-mind 4 more. Think mine is bugged.

I only found 2 and I have been doing this for about 7 years now I think. So Id like to say I am good at this but damn they are good at hiding them this year in the random 10 I have. Since I have yet to win anything doing the Scavenger Hunt every year I think after this year is done and I don't win I shall create a T-Shirt to commemorate my hard work on these for the past 8 years so at least I have something to show lol!

Holy moses!  A little over 3hrs of rapid scrolling to find all ten and I now have motion sickness as a unexpected bonus!
 
@EVGA that scavenger hunt was insane!  I look forward to next years already...

so not on evgagaming.com?
 
and when it says the Online Store, that includes the product listings like this page?: https://www.evga.com/prod...roductlist.aspx?type=0

I don't know if there is a special one hiding somewhere, But I have not only once but Twice, went through all the Evga News Posts, and press release's. After that I went through all the drop down menus and clicked on all the links that there were through, News, Concept, Products, Service, Videos, Community and Member. I have also clicked on all the links that are in the pictures on the main Evga Home page and the worded links, and still haven't found the last Badge. So far I have found 9 out of 10, I am not asking where the last one is, I am asking to see if there is a bug in the coding preventing the last one to be found, since it seems from earlier posts that there was some mix ups with badges not doing things or over providing. I am hoping someone can get back to me on this issue because I have already spent 5 1/2 hours searching all over the place on the EVGA site.
 
Updated: 11:23pm PST Cancel that order, I found it. Very Very sneaky Evga I congratulate you on making me look for 6 hours when a part of that time I could have been playing on your servers in the other event going on. :P I guess that answers my own question, there is nothing wrong with the event now, though I will say this, if you can't find them then look everywhere even if you don't think it is not something to look at, then look at it!! Last place I look after taking a small detour and blame there it was!!

Same here for me but for over 13 hours. I have gone through all of the website at least 3 or 4 times. Some parts more. 
 
EDIT: Finally found my last one, I can't believe I missed it. I had been only 1 click away so many times throughout the day and I didn't even know. Very challenging this year but still fun. Thanks for doing this EVGA!
