Chipotle is celebrating National Burrito Day on Thursday, April 2, by bringing back its popular Burrito Vault game for a third consecutive year.
The game challenges players to guess the hourly burrito combination for a chance to unlock prizes. This year's game features a new gameplay mode called Double Protein Power Hour, which will occur once a day, doubling the number of prizes compared to regular gameplay hours. All prizes during Double Protein Power Hour will also include double protein, Chipotle said in a news release.
The fast casual restaurant chain said in a news release that fans could start accessing the game beginning at 9 a.m. ET on March 30 by visiting Unlockburritoday.com. Prizes include a BOGO (buy one, get one) entrée, free double protein and even the chance to win free burritos for a year.
"With more than 3.5 million plays last year, Burrito Vault generated record-breaking engagement with our fans," said Stephanie Perdue, Interim Chief Marketing Officer, in the news release. "Bringing the game back for a third year allows us to build on that momentum while highlighting our clean protein as more consumers prioritize protein-packed meals that don't compromise on quality."
