Here is how it works: you scan our news and articles to find the letters that spell out M – E – R – K – U – R. To make it a challenge, we'll hide the first half (M – E – R) on the first day of the draw, and the second half (K – U – R) on the fourth day.M – E – R – K – U – R. We hide the first three letters, M – E – R, on day 1 and the remaining three letters, K – U – R, on day 4 of the prize draw.
Once you've hunted down every letter, just arrange them in the correct sequence to reveal the word 'MERKUR'. Then, head over to Instagram and send the solution to @merkur_com via Direct Message.
