Chipotle IQ Returns With Bigger Prizes and Extended Play for Rewards Program Members
Chipotle Mexican Grill is bringing back its popular trivia game, Chipotle IQ, giving Chipotle Rewards members a chance to win free food and rewards points by testing their brand knowledge. For the first time, the game will span two separate weeks and run from August 12 to 14 and August 19 to 21, offering more chances than ever to win. Participants can score a BUY-ONE-GET-ONE (BOGO) entrée, free Queso Blanco, free Adobo Ranch, or bonus Chipotle Rewards points by answering questions correctly on topics like real ingredients, sourcing, and sustainability.
Chipotle President and Chief Brand Officer Chris Brandt said, “We saw a 20% year-over-year increase in participation from 2023 to last year, underscoring just how much our fans enjoy putting their knowledge of Chipotle to the test. As we return for the sixth year, we’re leveling up the experience with our longest gameplay period in the promotion's history and our biggest prize pool yet.”
The trivia challenge will be open daily from 9:01 a.m. to 8:59 p.m. ET during the promotion dates. Each hour, the first 10,000 players to answer all five questions correctly can win a prize, including 6,000 BOGO offers, 2,000 free Queso Blanco, and 2,000 free Adobo Ranch. Those who answer four out of five questions will receive 25 Rewards points, while supplies last. Each player can participate once a day and win up to three different rewards during the event, including one entrée, one side, and 25 bonus points. In addition to Chipotle IQ, the ongoing Summer of Extras promotion continues through August 31. Rewards members who opt in can earn extra points, collect unique badges, and track performance against others in their state.
