Thinking I might score another shoulder pet, I sought out the second bottle type in the Coke Vitual Thirst promotion. The first location I tried seemed to have the first bottle, but so I tried the second location which turned out to be inside a Blaze store.



The lag made the puzzle a little more challending than the first one, but still finishable on the first try. Indicentally, the place was packed with Germans shopping for formalwear.



The "interactive experience" can best be described with video :)



After this, the "prize" portion, a branded kick scooter, was a bit of a letdown.



The site listing the locations mentions that the experiences and prizes are copy/transfer. It would really be cool if the experiences were copyable, but they aren't that I've seen.

Four months after the original promotion, Coke revealed the winning entry in their Virtual Thirst competition. There are three types of puzzle bottles scattered across the grid (you can find their locations here), each producing "a different type of interactive experience and a different prize".

I have only visited the first one so far, at which you have five minutes to rotate the pieces into position.



When you complete the puzzle, fireworks launch and a snow globe appears.



The snow globe contains some picture-worthy poses, although I'm a bit skeptical of "pet the penguin"



I watched them fish for a bit



And then they invited me to try



And then I climbed on the ice wall



This concludes the interactive experience (because it disappeared while I was writing this blog post). The "prize" portion is a shoulder-mounted pet polar bear. He's quite cute and has some good animations. I mentioned before that I somehow lost my pet cat - I hope this little guy does not suffer the same fate.
