To mark the upcoming film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Volvo is launching a multi-media treasure hunt to find a buried XC90. Find it and it's yours.

From this Saturday (June 10) until July 11, treasure maps can be picked up from local Volvo dealers and wannabe pirates can then log onto www.volvocars.co.uk/thehunt to register for the online hunt for the buried XC90. The car is a special pirate-themed V8 edition with features such as as "menacing graphics" from the new film, black leather seats and custom painted 20" wheels.

To find the car, treasure hunters will have to solve a series of clues and puzzles which will be emailed on a regular basis. Those who solve the puzzles correctly will continue to get clues, which apparently will become progessively harder. Even if participants join late they can catch up with the rest.

The final clue will be emailed on July 12 and then Volvo will pick seven finalists from around the world to solve the last puzzle. In early August they will be flown to the car burial location when each finalist will compete to find the car. The first one to unearth the XC90 gets to keep it.
