Arr! A plentiful booty awaits, me hearties!
Right, in case you missed it the first time around, here's a recap on Volvo Car Corporation's online global hunt for sunken treasure, and how you can go about attempting to land it.
A chest filled with US$50,000 worth of gold doubloons plus the key to a brand new Volvo XC90 is now under the sea, "Somewhere in the World." Anyone hardy enough to try and find it can take part in the online treasure hunt, which starts simultaneously in 22 countries on May 4 and which ends with a global online ‘head to head' on June 2.

volvocars.com/thehunt any time between May 4 and May 29. Winners will only be eligible if they can produce the original pirate chart upon conclusion of The Hunt.
Once registered online, hunters set sail on their virtual high seas adventure and move on, receiving clues, as they solve a series of challenging and fun online puzzles.
People can join The Hunt at any time through May 29, and can catch up with other participants if they correctly answer the puzzles posted online. As the contest progresses, the puzzles will become increasingly harder to solve.
On June 2, the first person from each of the 22 participating countries to finish the online hunt will compete against one another in one final, exciting online challenge.
The first of those 22 individuals to solve the final puzzle will be named the winner and will receive a trip to the burial location to retrieve the chest filled with US$50,000 in pirate gold and the key to the new Volvo.
The countries participating in The Hunt are the United States, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand and the United Kingdom.
The event is of course a partnership with Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise, and the third film, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - opens in most countries in the end of May.
