4. Skill-Based Contest
This Contest is intended to be a skill-based challenge.
The winner will not be selected randomly.
Participants must successfully locate, interpret, and solve a series of clues and then correctly complete the final challenge before other eligible participants.
The ability to solve the clues and correctly complete the challenge determines the winner.
5. No Purchase Necessary
No purchase, payment, donation, merchandise order, subscription fee, or other financial consideration is required to participate or win.
Purchasing Adrenaline Crew merchandise, products, or services will not improve a participant’s ability or opportunity to win.
There is no entry fee.
6. How to Participate
Sponsor will publish Contest content containing a series of clues.
Participants must:
locate the Contest clues;
correctly interpret and solve the clues;
determine the information and instructions revealed by those clues; and
successfully complete the final challenge using the correct solution.
The Contest clues may appear in video, audio, graphics, descriptions, comments, websites, social media posts, or other locations identified by Sponsor.
The exact method of completing the final challenge is intentionally part of the Contest puzzle and may be revealed only after the participant successfully solves the preceding clues.
Participants may watch, pause, rewind, review, or otherwise study Contest content as they choose.
Sponsor does not guarantee that any clue will be easy to locate, interpret, or solve.
7. YouTube Subscriptions, Comments, Likes, and Shares
Subscribing to the Adrenaline Crew YouTube channel is not required to participate or win.
Liking, commenting on, or sharing Adrenaline Crew content is also not required to participate or win unless a specific interaction is part of the actual puzzle mechanics and is permitted under applicable law and platform policies.
Sponsor may encourage viewers to subscribe, comment, like, or share content as part of normal audience engagement.
Such engagement does not increase a participant’s chance of winning and does not create additional entries.
Participants must comply with YouTube’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
Any participation involving spam, bots, automated activity, artificial engagement, impersonation, harassment, deceptive activity, or other violations of YouTube policies may result in disqualification.

8. The Final Challenge
Successful completion of the Contest clues will reveal the method and information necessary to complete the final challenge.
The final challenge will require the participant to correctly provide a secret phrase using the method revealed through the Contest clues.
The first eligible participant to successfully complete the final challenge and provide the correct secret phrase will be the potential winner, subject to verification.
The exact method used to complete the final challenge is intentionally part of the Contest and may not be publicly disclosed in advance.
Sponsor’s applicable electronic, telecommunications, system, or other objective records will be used to determine the order in which qualifying responses are received.
A participant is not considered the winner until Sponsor verifies:
the Contest clues were correctly solved;
the final challenge was completed correctly;
the correct secret phrase was provided;
the participant was the first qualifying participant according to Sponsor’s records;
the participant satisfies all eligibility requirements; and
the participant complied with these Official Rules.
9. Secret Phrase
The correct secret phrase will be revealed or determinable through the Contest clues.
Participants must provide the phrase exactly as required by the final challenge.
Sponsor may determine in its reasonable discretion whether minor pronunciation differences, spelling variations, or other immaterial differences constitute a correct response, provided the participant clearly demonstrates knowledge of the intended phrase.
Sponsor’s decision regarding whether a phrase is correct will be final, subject to applicable law.
10. Determining the First Participant
Sponsor will use objective system records to determine the first qualifying participant.
These records may include:
timestamps;
telephone or telecommunications logs;
server logs;
electronic records;
recordings;
submission records; or
other reliable technical evidence.
The qualifying time will be the time recorded by Sponsor’s designated system, not the time shown on a participant’s device.
Technical delays, carrier delays, device clocks, screenshots, or other participant-generated timing evidence will not override Sponsor’s official records.
If two or more qualifying responses appear to have been received at the same time, Sponsor may use additional objective records to determine the order received.
If Sponsor cannot reliably determine which response was first, Sponsor may use a reasonable tie-breaking procedure approved by legal counsel and permitted by applicable law.
11. Technical Failures
Sponsor is not responsible for:
dropped communications;
busy signals;
unavailable telecommunications services;
mobile carrier delays;
internet outages;
server outages;
platform failures;
corrupted or incomplete transmissions;
malfunctioning devices;
incorrect contact information;
participant technical errors;
delayed communications; or
other technical failures outside Sponsor’s reasonable control.
Attempting to complete the final challenge does not guarantee that the participant’s response will be successfully received.
12. Prize
One verified winner will receive:
$1,000 USD
Approximate Retail Value: $1,000 USD
The prize will be provided by digital application (PayPal, Cash App, Venmo).
The prize is non-transferable except at Sponsor’s sole discretion and as permitted by law.
The winner is solely responsible for any federal, state, and local taxes associated with acceptance of the prize.
Sponsor may require information reasonably necessary for tax reporting and lawful prize fulfillment.
13. Potential Winner Verification
The first participant to successfully complete the final challenge is considered a potential winner until verification is complete.
Sponsor may require the potential winner to provide:
legal name;
age or date of birth;
state of residence;
mailing address;
telephone number;
email address;
government-issued identification;
affidavit of eligibility;
liability release;

participated through fraud, automation, or prohibited conduct.
If the initial potential winner is disqualified, Sponsor may award the prize to the next qualifying participant, if one exists and if permitted under applicable law.
14. Fair Play and Prohibited Conduct
Participants may not:
use bots, scripts, automated dialing systems, or automated software;
use multiple automated devices to complete the final challenge;

address fraud or unauthorized disclosure;
protect the integrity of the Contest; or

hacking;
technical error;
premature disclosure;

Contest: Adrenaline Crew $1,000 Skill Challenge
Prize: $1,000 USD
Contest Launch: September 1, 2026
INTERNAL NOTE FOR LEGAL REVIEW — REMOVE BEFORE PUBLICATION
The intended final mechanic is:
participants solve a sequence of clues;
the clues ultimately reveal a telephone number;
participants must determine and call that number;
when connected, they must provide the correct secret phrase;
the first eligible caller to provide the correct phrase wins $1,000;
telecommunications/provider records and timestamps will determine who completed the challenge first.
We would prefer not to reveal publicly in advance that the final method is a telephone call, because discovering that is part of the puzzle.
Please confirm whether the public-facing Official Rules may describe this as the “final challenge” without disclosing the telephone-call mechanic in advance, while still providing sufficient disclosure under all applicable federal and state contest laws.
Please also confirm:
that the promotion is properly classified as a skill contest rather than a sweepstakes or lottery;
eligible states/territories;
minimum participant age;
whether any state registrations, bonding, filings, or other requirements apply;
acceptable winner-verification procedures;
what constitutes the official time of receipt for the winning response;
how ties or system failures should be handled;
prize-payment and tax-reporting requirements;
whether the publicity release is appropriate;
governing law and dispute provisions;
whether a specific ending date is required even if someone successfully completes the challenge earlier; and
whether any additional disclosures are required because the Contest will be promoted on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and AdrenalineCrew.com.
