Granola Watch Strap: Treasure Hunt — Official Rules

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A purchase will not increase your chances of winning. Void where prohibited.

1. Sponsor

This promotion (“Hunt”) is sponsored by Granola, Inc. (“Sponsor”), 1151 Walker Rd, Ste 417, Dover, DE 19904 USA.

2. Eligibility

18 years of age or older at the time of entry. Employees, contractors, and immediate family members of Sponsor and its affiliated agencies are not eligible. Void where prohibited by law. One prize per person.

3. Hunt Period

The Hunt begins at 12:00 PT on July 30 2026 and ends at 16:00 PT on July 30 2026 (the “Hunt Period”). All entries/completions must be received by Sponsor before the Hunt Period ends.

4. How to Enter

Each clue is published as a post on X. To enter for a given clue, a participant must solve the clue and submit a valid entry as described below.

What counts as a valid entry

To be a valid entry, a photograph must:

  • Be taken by the entrant after the applicable clue is posted.
  • Depict the location shown in the applicable clue, plus enough identifiable surrounding context to confirm the entrant was physically present at that location.
  • Be posted publicly as a reply to the applicable clue post on X.
  • Include the hashtag #GranolaHuntContest in the reply, to disclose that the post is contest-related.
  • Remain public and visible until the winner for that clue has been verified.

How the winner for each clue is determined

The potential winner for each clue is the eligible entrant whose valid entry is first received and visible to Sponsor, as determined by Sponsor’s records and the entry’s X timestamp. Sponsor is not responsible for platform latency, filtering, transmission delays, or entries that are not visible to Sponsor. In the event of an apparent tie, Sponsor will determine the earliest-received valid entry using reasonably available platform records. Only one person can win at each clue location.

Winners are determined by skill and speed in solving the clues, not by chance. No random drawing will be used to award prizes.

Entry limits and anti-fraud

Limit one (1) entry per person per clue and one (1) X account per person. Entrants who use multiple accounts, submit another person’s photograph, edit or manipulate timestamps, or otherwise attempt to circumvent these Rules will be disqualified. Sponsor’s determinations regarding entry validity and winners are final and binding in all matters relating to the Hunt.

5. Prizes

Five (5) prizes will be awarded, one per winner, as follows:

PrizeApproximate Retail Value (ARV)
Apple Watch + strap$500
Apple Watch + strap$500
Apple Watch + strap$500
Apple Watch + strap$500
Apple Watch + strap$500

Each prize consists of one (1) Apple Watch (model selected by Sponsor in its sole discretion) together with one (1) watch strap. Where supply allows, Sponsor will make reasonable efforts to let the winner choose size and color, but availability is not guaranteed and final selection is at Sponsor’s discretion. Prizes are anticipated to be delivered within approximately 30 days after winner verification. If the actual value of a prize is lower than the ARV stated above, the winner receives no difference or additional compensation.

Total ARV of all prizes: $2,500. Prizes are non-transferable and no cash or other substitution is permitted, except Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value.

Apple is not a participant in or sponsor of this promotion.

6. Winner Notification

Winners will be notified via DM on X.

7. Taxes

Prizes may constitute taxable income. Winners are solely responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes. Winners must provide any tax documentation reasonably required by Sponsor, and Sponsor may report prizes to taxing authorities as required by law.

8. General Conditions & Release of Liability

Participants agree to comply with all local laws and regulations while participating, including pedestrian and traffic laws, and to respect posted hours and rules at any private business location included in the Hunt.

Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any participant who tampers with the entry process, behaves unlawfully or disruptively, or otherwise violates these rules.

Release of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, by participating, entrants release and hold harmless Sponsor, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from any liability, injury, loss, or damage of any kind arising from participation in the Hunt or from acceptance, possession, or use of a prize. Nothing in these Rules excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

9. Right to Modify, Suspend, or Cancel

Sponsor may suspend, modify, or cancel the Hunt or an individual clue if fraud, technical failure, safety concerns, platform disruption, or circumstances beyond Sponsor’s reasonable control impair the integrity or safe operation of the Hunt. Sponsor will endeavor to preserve fair treatment of valid entries already received.

10. Publicity Release

Except where prohibited, participation in the Hunt constitutes winners’ consent to Sponsor’s use of their name, likeness, hometown, and statements about the Hunt for advertising and promotional purposes without additional compensation.

11. Social Media Disclaimer
