Photo scavenger hunt on Photobucket

Do you have happy memories of scavenger hunts, where you had to find red ribbon, a q-tip, and a mystery paperback book (or whatever -- you remember what we mean) -- all in the space of a couple of hours? We do. We love scavenger hunts.

So we decided to try one on Photobucket, in collaboration with the folks who are bringing you the new movie Quarantine.

Go here: http://photobucket.com/quarantine

You have to try to find images from the movie Quarantine. If you do, you can click on them and then enter a contest to win some cool prizes. Simple and fun.

Just the way we like it.
