Kia Super Bowl Ad Holds the Secret to Winning a 2011 Optima

[AutoGuide.com]

You may want to pace yourself during this year's Super Bowl. You're going to need your wits about you if you want to win a 2011 Kia Optima.

For the automaker's Super Bowl ads this year, Kia is launching a fully integrated and interactive marketing campaign that uses TV, digital, print, social media and in-dealership components as a way to introduce the all-new 2011 Optima midsize sedan to the world. The campaign will kick off with a 60-second commercial call "One Epic Ride" that will air in the first quarter of Super Bowl XLV. To follow it up, Kia will then launch the "One Epic Contest," where you will have to solve a series of puzzles using clues provided in pre-Super Bowl and game day advertisements and social media postings for your chance to win one of five Optimas.

You can register for the game starting today at KIA, where you make your way through a grid-based hieroglyphic game set in an ancient temple. Over the days leading up to the Super Bowl, look for clues hidden within various media channels, including 15-second TV spots, print ads and social media postings, to answer a series of four questions. During the Super Bowl on February 6, a fifth question will be revealed right before the "One Epic Ride" ad airs (which also contains the answer to the final question).

The contest page keeps asking me to register and then when I fill out the information it tells me I need to enter valid data. There is a problem.

I've tried to play this game on a Mac with Safari, Firefox, and Opera.
I've tried a PC using Firefox and Explorer (Windows 7).

I've tried my in-house wireless and a Verizon Aircard.

On both platforms, the page doesn't work when you try to click on a number. Nothing populates the wall.

Sometimes after reloading the page, it wants me to register, even though I am already registered.

I think something is wrong with the page. If someone from their help desk got it to work. Let us all know what browser they were using.

Thanks.

Hey everyone! I apologize for the inconveniences. I suggest checking out Kia Optima | Facebook as other contestants may have resolved similar issues.

In case you haven't seen the 3rd question yet, here it is -- How many years is the all-new Kia Optima powertrain under limited warranty?

Something was wrong with the site yesterday....it just sat there with that rock wall and the question never appeared. So, I waited til this morning and got back on...it asked me all three questions even though I'd already answered the first two. I think they're having problems with the site, and they better be prepared for a bad reaction if it acts up on Sunday.

Hey SnowWhiteEX! I apologize for that issue. Check out the wall on Kia Optima | Facebook - you may be able to find a solution.

Here is the 4th question -- Who gave the 2011 Kia Optima a Top Safety Pick award? Visit ONE EPIC CONTEST - presented by the Kia OPTIMA to submit your answer.

Horrible planning went into this. Hopefully this isn't the type of service I'll get from KIA if I purchase an Optima. I've tried so many times that I have fulfilled Einstein's definition of insanity. "Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is insanity".

As predicted....the online puzzle isn't working. I solved the first puzzle, and it automatically moved on to the next one. I've solved the second puzzle, and it won't move on to the third one. FAIL FAIL FAIL.....I've re-set it, started over, solved #2 again, and it just sits there. How can anyone win with a website this poor?
