The Green Box

We've made it to 2024. When something wonderful begins, it's always difficult to determine when should it end. We were aiming for 7 lucky years, if we closed the book there it would certainly be story worth telling. With that being said..there's a level of excitement of looking forward to a sequel or some form of continuation. There's also a time when we almost need that continuation in face of a disaster. The CSRA will push forward, but it will be different. This year, our 8th year, the game will be different. We’ve been asked time and time again if we could alter the game to involve those who aren’t history buffs or riddle masters. We now plan to do both, we’re going to lower the stakes, but increase the fun through a two-part twist to the game.

Bookmark the link www.greenboxgiveaway.com because it will redirect to the current week once we begin.

Our standard 8 weeks will be split in half, and the first half will unlock the second. Each week 25 mini green boxes will be out in the CSRA which will be 100 for the month of November. Half of these must be found and redeemed to unlock 4 big boxes for the month of December. Each week, 25 clues will be released (one per box) and as the days go by, we’ll release area clues to bring those mini boxes back into us. Though we’d love to see you stop by for a hug or a high five, you do not have to stop by the store for part one of the game, unless you find a mini green box. The mini green boxes will be redeemable for piece of jewelry from a curated collection by the by designer Gabriel & Co. There can only be one mini green box redeemed per household. Finding these mini green boxes will not be easy and our community will need to work together to make it to the second part of our game.

If 50% of the mini green boxes make it back throughout November, then this will unlock the second part of the game in December. This part will be 4 big green boxes leading to Christmas. For 4 weeks we’ll hide a Green Box somewhere in the CSRA. Once a week it is hidden, if you find the box you get a specific piece of jewelry for the week that is valued now at $3000 or more. These boxes are not easy to find, many locals try to find them, but only a few succeed. It’s quite a badge of honor to find the Green Box. In the past, the Green Box has been mostly found in areas that have held some sort of local significance. That will not always be the case. Even though the clues could reference history or relevance related to a privately owned location, the box will not be on private property. If the property is not publicly owned, the location will be legally accessible to the public. If a box is found within 24hrs of the first clue for the week, another box will be placed out.

How do you play?
Starting November 1st, you can head out and hunt for one of 25 mini boxes scattered throughout the CSRA every week. Get updates regarding those mini green boxes and area clues via the SMS submission below and visiting www.greenboxgiveaway.com. Again, if 50% (50 mini green boxes) are brought back into Windsor this will ensure the second part of our game in December. For every week in December we'll hide one "bigger" box around the CSRA. Once a box is out, we’ll give daily clues until some lucky person finds it. You can find the first clue every Friday in December via facebook, our website, straight to your email address or via SMS if you submit it below. Also, once again, only the first clue of each week will be post on our social media. More importantly, once the Green Box is out, you can visit Windsor Fine Jewelers for tomorrow's clue in advance. Please note that Windsor will be open on Sunday’s for November and and December from now until Christmas from 1pm-6pm

Get the Green Box Daily Clue emailed and sent to you via SMS.

You'll receive updates on the mini boxes, and later, the daily clue to your inbox each day, prior to being posted on social media until each weekly box is found. Once you submit your email we'll need at least 24hrs to get you added onto the list. Also, you may receive a marketing message, but you can stop it at any point.

Again, this is for the daily clue, the "day in advance clue" will still require you to come into the store. You can learn more about the "day in advance clue" by reading the information below.

Here’s the cool part that you really do not want to miss, each week features a different jewelry designer that we carry in our store (the designer corresponds with the piece being given away that week). If you come into the store and try on a piece from that designer, we'll give you the clue for next day in advance. Come in each day, get the next day’s clue. Please don’t think that you need to purchase something when you come in for the clue, we consider it an opportunity for you to meet and interact with our team. Many boxes are found by box hunters that come in for that clue in advance.

Rules:
Every game has a few rules, our rules are listed below.
1.) Only one mini green box can be found per household family, per year, BUT you can also find one big green box per household per year
2.) In December, no taking photos of the in-store clue.
3.) Be kind and respectful to places that you search and the people around you.
4.) We don’t tolerate bickering/complaining/accusing on our social media regarding the event.

Tips:
The vast majority of our staff do not know the box’s location, though it is kind to offer them things in exchange for information… it will not help. That includes contacting the store for more details regarding a clue or messaging us online. Our hiding places will not put box hunters in danger, but please use caution and be careful. If we give an extra clue, like a general area that the box can be found, it will be publicly announced.
