"The sponsorship allows Burger King Corp. to give our customers and fans of the movie the action and adventure they love."

Tempt Fate in the "Reveal the Secret" Scratch-and-Win Game(a)

With a prize behind one of two scratch-off areas on each game piece, the "Reveal the Secret" game challenges restaurant guests to make high-stakes decisions inspired by Indiana Jones. Players have a one-in-two chance of winning each time they play, and prizes include $1 million, a 2008 Hummer H2, a trip for four to Peru from Expedia.com, free food items from BURGER KING(R) restaurants, and much more.

Game pieces are available while supplies last with the purchase of select BURGER KING(R) food items in the U.S., including large and king-sized french fries and medium, large and king-sized drinks. Game pieces are also available on value meals. A medium lunch or dinner value meal offers one game piece; a large value meal offers two game pieces, and a king value meal offers three game pieces.

Dig for Cash with the First Ever "Big Dig" Virtual Game

For the first time, restaurant guests in the U.S. can use their "Reveal the Secret" game pieces to continue the opportunity to win online at www.bkindy.com, where the "Big Dig" takes fans from the restaurant to the Web. Each day, a $10,000 prize is hidden on the site. Site visitors enter the code found on their "Reveal the Secret" game piece and press the "Dig" icon to stop the roving searchlight and start digging for the prize. Each day the $10,000 prize goes uncovered, an additional $10,000 is added to the total prize. Within the first 24 hours of the game's launch, more than 75,000 codes were entered and the first $10,000 prize was awarded to a lucky winner.

Each registered player gets three chances to play each day. The site launched Monday, May 12, and the game is available for 28 days, with a maximum prize of $280,000.(a)
