We're hiding 4-Packs of Red Bull Energy Drink at college campuses across the country. All you have to do is find 'em! Enter your zip code to get clues and your campus scavenger hunt begins. Where are they hidden? All over. Look near the rec center, in the library, where you park, just about everywhere -- but without the clue you'll never see them. And once you find a stash, be sure to claim it so you get a shot at the awesome final stash!

This is a two-part skills-based, scavenger hunt Contest.
The object of the first portion of the Contest (the "Search for 4 Packs") is to find 4 Packs of Red Bull Energy Drink (each, a "Stash") that are hidden at the college campuses listed in Schedule A with the help of clues posted on our website located at www.redbullstash.com (the "Red Bull Stash Site"). Solve the clue and — if the Stash has not already been retrieved by another entrant — find your Stash. If you find and retrieve a Stash, you must enter a unique code (found on the sticker placed on each, individual Stash and each, a "Stash Code") on the Red Bull Stash Site in order to confirm that the particular Stash has been retrieved.
The second portion of the Contest involves an online scavenger hunt through various websites located on the Internet (the "Online Scavenger Hunt"). The eligible contestant that first successfully completes the Online Scavenger Hunt will win the Grand Prize, which consists of a one-of-a-kind skydiving experience with the Red Bull Air Force, together with round-trip airfare for two (2) to Los Angeles, California and one (1) hotel room for up to two (2) nights, as described in more detail in Section 5, all as determined by Red Bull in its sole discretion.
In the event that you solve a clue and discover that a particular Stash has already been retrieved, you can still qualify for the Online Scavenger Hunt by entering a unique code (a "Location Code") that will be contained on a sticker left at the location of each Stash. If you find this sticker, enter the Location Code at the Red Bull Stash Site and you can compete for the Grand Prize.
An eligible code is the unique code found on either: (a) each Stash of Red Bull 4 Packs or (b) contained on a sticker left at the location of an already retrieved Stash. You will need an eligible code in order to qualify for the Online Scavenger Hunt.
To submit your code: (a) go to the Red Bull Stash Site and follow the instructions online; OR (b) you can text your code to 22854.
