Waze's Valentine's Day Treasure Hunt Saves The day For Less-Than Romantic Techies  E-mail

Waze's `Valentine's Treasure Hunt' gives users the chance to pick up Valentine's `movie night for 2' gift cards and boxes of chocolate, plus holiday-themed `road goodies,' for extra points



Palo Alto, Calif. - February 8, 2009 - Waze, the first free provider of driver-generated maps and real-time road information geared towards everyday driving, today announced a Valentine's Day treasure hunt to help save the day for techies who might have forgotten to consider their sweethearts this February 14th.

Waze's `Valentine's Treasure Hunt' will feature `road goodies' as well as virtual treasure chests that, when driven over, have the potential to reward users with a real-world prizes - Valentine's `movie night for two' gift cards or heart-shaped boxes of chocolate. From February 8 to February 14, 2010, users in the US and Canada, should start looking for treasure chests along their daily commute for their chance to win. More details can be found on the waze blog.

Waze's holiday-themed `road goodies' - small icons worth bonus points - will be implemented on the map, internationally. The Valentine's `road goodies' include a cupid's arrow, worth 15 points, as well as heart-shaped love balloons, worth 10 points, scattered all over the map. Users can use these road goodies to increase their point totals, in prep for waze's next version which will include a scoreboard, allowing users to check out where they stand among their local driving communities.
