As part of Citroen DS3’s promotion plan the company has come up with a new game targeting the Facebook generation! It’s called the StreetSekeers competition, and in it you’ll have to search for four pieces of the new DS3 – plus a complete car – across the virtual landscape of Google’s Street View platform. The top prize is a brand new DS3 White 1.6 VTi 120hp, while they also giveaway a couple of Xbox and iPods as well. So if you are young and jobless, instead of wasting your time on social networks enter this competition and win something!
More details after the jump…
A cryptic clue will be released each day during the five-day competition period, hinting at where a piece of DS3 is hidden, somewhere across the interactive map of Europe. When participants discover all four pieces they’ll be given a clue as to the complete DS3’s location. The first to find the DS3 could win one in real life.
In true ‘hide and seek’ style, visitors to the DS3 StreetSeekers microsite can ‘walk’ around the application’s virtual streets until they uncover a piece of DS3. Helping users to locate the pieces, a graphic will hint whether they are getting ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ as they move about. When they walk over the secret coordinates, the pieces spring into view. DS3 StreetSeekers also uses Facebook Connect to allow an entrant to notify all of their friends when they discover a DS3 part, inviting them to get involved and also giving them a chance of winning.
If users don’t find all the hidden pieces and the car the first time round, there will be two more opportunities to take part and to win a DS3 in the StreetSeekers competition, with new hidden locations and prizes.
The first round of the DS3 StreetSeekers competition runs from 27th July, with the clue to the location of the car itself being released on Saturday 31st July. The winner will be contacted within 72 hours of the DS3 being found. The second round of the competition runs from 17th – 21st August and the third round from 7th – 11th September.

Can’t find the last piece.Anyone please give me a clue
I also had the same problem as Michelle. I complained to Citroen and they told me it was a technical error and around 30 people had been told they’d won when they hadn’t. I asked them how they planned to compensate these people and they responded; “we are not in a position to do that”. I told them I wasn’t happy and it was not my fault their system crashed and as far as I was concerned I had won. The best they could come up with was suggesting I entered the next competition. Unlikely.
the competition for the DS3 was not working properly after getting all the clue’s could not access the form that you needed to fill in it not fair for all the people that had the same problemj
I entered your streetseeker comp and found the 5th piece of the puzzle, a message came up telling me i was one of the first ten and that i had won an apple ipod touch, and that i was to fill in the form to claim my gift. Sadly no form appeared for me to complete and upon returning to the site i am being told i am too late and have not won. I feel that i must send this complaint and have got a copy saved of the screen informing me of my win as evidence, i hope you can resolve this for me.
