family consisting of at least one parent and one child above the age of 13 is
eligible to participate in the treasure hunt by following three simple steps:
signing up, creating a team and taking the Yahoo! Safely pledge. Each team will
then complete a set of assignments using
different Yahoo! properties to unlock a series of clues revealed at various times in a day on associated social media sites, offsite
locations and traditional media channels.
