How to win an Xbox Series X

Telstra has placed ten Xbox Series X consoles in virtual locations around the web which have been "picked for [their] significance to Telstra or Xbox," leading us to assume that at least some might be found on a number of Xbox's AU sites – but that's just a guess on our part!

To give you an idea of where those virtual locations might be, there are ten riddle-like clues listed on the Telstra Exchange website. Better put your game face on, because some of these clues ("Messy slurp without first rinsing gets us rewards") are fairly obtuse.

Better get a wiggle on, though – while this promotion is scheduled to end on September 22, 2020 at 12pm (AEST), however, it might end even sooner than that if all the consoles have been found before then.
