Nine of Blue’s Yeti have escaped their maximum security studios and escaped into the wild. Well, the virtual wild that is. They must be stopped. And we’re even offering a reward. The first three people who can find all nine Yeti hiding among Blue’s webpages will win a REAL Yeti USB microphone.
Here’s how it works:
Each of the nine is identified with a number in a black circle next to the Yeti. Keep in mind that you may come across other Yeti characters on the site (like on the main homepage and throughout the Yeti subsection), but none of these have numbers next to them, so don’t even THINK of trying to use them in your official counting!
**The contest Yeti MUST have a black dot with a number to be counted.
When you find one of the nine official Yeti, write down, in brief detail, where you found it.
Once you’ve found all nine, send an email with each of the Yeti locations to press@bluemic.com. First find, first win! Go!
Here’s the list of the nine Yeti escapees:
