Yahoo! Purple Hunt Phase 4: Guess the location of the Purple Hunt Grand Finale Event

The Yahoo Purple Hunt Phase 4 just kicked off yesterday. The microsite has began falling apart to reveal the secret location of the Purple Hunt grand finale event on July 25.

Purple Hunters will have to guess the location and input on the Yahoo Purple Hunt microsite anytime from July 14 to 24. (I'm still making a verification on the exact qualification end date.)
Those who will get it correctly shall receive a confirmation e-mail. Only Purple Hunters with the confirmation e-mail have the chance to participate in the footrace.

Mechanics of the Footrace:
  1. People must bring the confirmation e-mails and be at the location at 9am wearing purple. You must be 18 and above to qualify.
  2. Registration will be from 9 am to 10:30 am.
  3. From 10:30-1:00 pm, registered Purple Hunters will go through a skill based test to shortlist 40 people for the footrace. This will require you to hack the microsite by clicking on clues combination. Watch this video to have an idea about it.

  4. At 1 pm, the shortlisted Purple Hunters will be brief on the footrace.
  5. From 2-5 pm, the 40 shortlisted Purple Hunters will go on the race to find the Honda Jazz Purple Car.

Note as well that:

  1. Anyone from the Philippines can join for as long as they are in Manila on July 25 during the actual footrace.
  2. Phase 2 (Canon Camera) and 3 (Blackberry Smartphone) winners can still qualify to compete for phase 4.
  3. Note that this is not on a first come, first serve basis.
  4. The picture that is now in the site will not be replaced and shall be gradually unveiled.

Meanwhile from 12 pm - 6 pm, there will be plenty of activities at the venue, such as the following:

  • Purplescape Exhibition
  • Purplize Your World
  • Purple College
  • Project Purple Showcase
  • Purple Lounge
  • Interactive Games
The event will start to wind down from 6-9pm where there’ll be a prize presentation for phases 2 (Canon Camera), 3 (Blackberry Smartphone) and 4 winners, a finale programme and a Purple concert with local talents performing.
Note that unlike in the last two phases, I won't be giving out exact address tips as phase 4 is very competitive. However, I will be helping you guys out by seeding a clue a day here.
  1. The location was featured in phase 3 (Blackberry Smartphone) (July 14 clue)
  2. The Purple Crew visited this location to give away Yahoo Swags. (July 15 clue)
  3. I was there on the first day to give away Yahoo Swags. (July 17 clue)

Good luck to all Purple Hunters! See you at the Purple Hunt Grand Finale Event on July 25. I shall be covering the event the whole day. Will post pictures and videos here.

Get Yahoo! Swags - It's Easy When it's Purple!

I was at Krispy Kreme Bonifacio High Street and Glorietta last July 3 and 10 to meet and greet the Purple Hunters. Congratulations to the winners of the shirts! Fun to meet the midnight hunters too who came in full force during this activity.



The Purple Crew visited Krispy Kreme Bonifacio High Street (July 3), Starbucks Market Market (July 4), Krispy Kreme Glorietta (July 10), and Krispy Kreme Trinoma (July 11) where Yahoo! swags were given out to those who mentioned the magic keyphrase "It’s Easy when it’s Purple".


Some of these swags were the Limited Edition Team Manila T-shirts, Yahoo Purple Hunt ID lace, Yahoo! pins, and paper doll flyers. The activity was part of the Yahoo Purple Hunt promotions.

Get to know the Purple Crew!
