    As stated on the Scavenger Hunt Signup "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."
     
    Hope this helps a bit.

    What about FAQ pages or support articles? Driver pages, etc?

    There was thread just like this yesterday, and the user found it shprtly after creating the thread. you both have plenty of time to find the final badge.. just take a break and give your eyes/mind a rest.

    I agree with taking a rest. I used to find taking a break and playing a quick arcade type game helps me refocus when I come back to a task. It becomes easy to see what I might have over looked before. If you continue without a break you often find yourself approaching the problem with blinders on in the same way over and over again.

    I'm the same, got to 9/10 fairly quickly. And then spent the next hour and a bit only to have no luck. The only thing I haven't done is start digging into really old pages. But then I took a break. Back at it again, but man it does get frustrating when you are looking for that last one. 
     
    Oh well, back at it, at least for a bit. 
     
    And I found it. Hmm maybe the key is posting in the forums that you can't find it?

    That's weird, Ya'll didn't look hard enough. I found all 10 of them in less than an hour... probably about 30-40 minutes.

    Also stuck at 9/10. Thought I'd chime in, in case you're right and we need to post in the forums ;P
     
    They can be quite old though. I found one on an article from (Date removed by Cool GTX) (hope that's not cheating :S)

    I found all 10 on the www.evga.com site
     
    You'll have to keep digging. The first 7 were easier than the last 3 to find.  Took me several hours each day, over 3 days to find them all
     
    Think about what EVGA might want you to learn, while browsing the site
     
    Of course everyone wants to WIN a prize; just remember its about having some Fun along the way

    Finally found my last one. It was actually in a more obvious spot that I somehow skipped.... unless it showed up because I posted in the forums

    I have literally been through 18 pages of articles, every single solitary product, awards page, pretty much every single thing your can click on. I have only found 7. I've literally spent 4 hours searching to find nothing. Glad they randomised it this year. Apparently some people are going to be screwed over.

    ok ok, You all seem to be finding it after posting here in the forums. I got nothing to lose so figure what the hell, give it a shot. I do have to admit that its
    been entertaining going through and looking for the badges.
     
    Have a wonderful afternoon everyone!

    18 pages of article, Wow, How did you do it?

    I went through over 30+ pages of them before I was finished.  I think I found 4 total in articles only. The other 6 were in different parts of the website, You need to look reallllllly good.

    You'll need to search far & wide & more than just Articles to find the badges

    you have to delve deep in the way back machine to find a few of them, first 8 took me about 2 hrs and the last 2 took 1hr 45min.

    I am also still stuck at 9/10 badges, looked at least 500 pages of the most recent news articles. I took a break once articles about 780s popped up. I think I have most of the website mesmerized at this point, hoping the last is somewhere obvious.
