Square Enix and Eidos Montreal are sending fans of Deus Ex: Human Revolution on a virtual scavenger hunt. To participate, you’ll need a facebook account, be older than 17 years, and have an iPhone or iPad 2 to run an iOS App designed for the contest. Download the free Deus Ex: Human Revolution QR Missions App here from the App Store.
Over the next seven weeks, a new QR code will be released on the official Deus Ex: Human Revolution facebook page. I’ll make it easy on you to find your first QR code, here. This QR code unlocks an “Augmentation Video” and details of the “Smart Vision” augmentation (scan through walls). Be on the lookout for more QR codes in various locations, including the Eidos-Montreal Twitter feed (and tagged tweets such as #DXHRQR) as well as in-store advertisements.
Here are more details on the Deus Ex prizes that will be available, as noted by Square Enix and Eidos Montreal:
- For each code scanned, users receive an item immediately including special game footage, secret codes to unlock in-game doors, “Augment Yourself” codes and other assets and info from the game.
- The first 1,000 participants to find 10 codes will receive an exclusive theme for their preferred platform (either the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft or the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system). These themes will be available for sale at a later date.
- If the collective score for all participants reaches 1,000,000 points before August 23 (the North American release date), all registered participants in the DXHR QR MISSIONS Scavenger Hunt will receive an exclusive item for their Xbox LIVE Avatar or for PlayStation®Home. This item will be a toy version of the in-game “B-EE Chopper” that will appear as an Avatar prop item for their Xbox LIVE Avatar and will be available as a companion that follows the user within PlayStation®Home.
