Surprise! In honor of the 5th anniversary of Pasta Pass, we are launching a digital scavenger hunt for our biggest fans to find 10 additional Annual Pasta Passes across social media.
Here’s the deal: each one of the riddles, puzzles and ciphers below uncovers the name of a Twitter profile, an Instagram handle, or a Facebook group. If you’re the first person to solve that puzzle, and send a direct message to that profile or post in the Facebook group with the secret phrase “Pasta Pass Please”, you’re the winner! But once a pass has been claimed, that’s it! There’s one clue per profile, and only one Annual Pasta Pass per profile, so you’d better hurry. We will do our best to give live updates when clues have been solved and their Pasta Passes have been claimed.
Good luck, and happy hunting!
