Contest: Last call for Mirror's Edge Stash Points contests, hints enclosed! photo

Definitely one of the coolest contests in Destructoid history, our Mirror's Edge Stash Points sweepstakes (check for winner updates here) comes to a close this Friday night.  There are still a staggerring 50 free copies of the game unclaimed so here's your last chance to get them.  Unfortunately some custodian teams have started ripping down the stash points so your odds grow slimmer with each passing moment. 

Hit the jump for hints on where the last ones stand!

Arizona State - Near overpriced coffee and another near the rotunda

U of Arkansas - In an empty object, also name of a movie.  Another on a light post

U of Colorado - Mr. Wizard can host 400 fans here.  Another near engineers

Duke - Von Kaboom!  Or another one near quiet worms

U of Florida - Putting on the Ritz!

U of Georgia - WTF is Archie's or a brick column near Tate's

Indiana U - Business lunch. Also, sounds like Twain.

U of Iowa - 2nd floor of something with a Q or under Schaffer

U of Kansas - It's underground.  The inspector's partner has the other

Kansas State - 24 hours sounds like hell.  Also, Salsaritas

U of Kentucky - Three whites. Also, science obelisk.

Michigan State - Lounge. Also, dewey decimal system.

U of North Carolina. - Howl at the posters.  Also, Hamilton did that.

Oklahoma State - Make stuff. Also, read stuff.

USC - Opposite of Glue Alley?  Also, rhymes with KFC.

U of Texas-Austin - Go outside for moar. Also, get me some fash cash before the game.

U of Utah - It's as easy as 2 3 4 if you're in the Union. 

U of Wisconsin - I'll give you a break since you got listed last :)  One is in the Wisconsin Science Halland the other is inside the bookstore entrance hallway -- solo but discreet, yet noticable from a distance.

Good luck!

any chance of giving out the remaining copies that might not be found to those of us who weren't lucky enough to live on/near one of these campuses once all is said and done?

I'm sorry we have so many domestic contests, but you have to understand that game company marketing departments have limited budgets just like any other company. Nobody sits around and thinks of ways to exclude our readers. We try to do international stuff every chance we get.

That said, there will be new contests launching shortly. Keep an eye on that upper-right tab :)

Funktastic lives in Canada . . . he doesn't have Mirror's Edge yet . . . he is a sad panda that he can't go and win one of the 50 free copies cause there are no stash points nearby . . . he wants Niero to be even MORE super cool and nice . . . and show him some love . . . =D

Is there a hint for U of Maryland? The contest update page says there is still one remaining, but there is no hint here...

It's alright Niero, we all understand the situation I'm sure.
But on that one, I would've wanted to participate (quite a cool contest to find stash points in our university :P)

You can have it, only because I don't feel like driving out from Minneapolis.

Where's the Minnesota love, guys?

I'm so going to Shaffer hall right now before anyone else wakes up.

But Q? Are these restricted to only University of Iowa buildings i don't think there are any Q's in the entire state. Sort of an Iowan thing, just don't like them.

Unless, of course, you count the Q Bar, but of course you wouldn't do that... would you?

I'm heading to the University of Colorado campus today to try to find them. Based on those clues, I expect to find both.

50 copies left, eh? How about throwing one my way since I don't live anywhere fucking NEAR where the goddamned sponsor colleges are.
I'm ready and willing to take one of those 50 off your hands. I will help you unload part of that stash, no questions asked.

So, apparently there are still 2 left in Tennessee, yet no hints are given for their locations. I'm just assuming that this was a joke played upon us that are actually looking for the stashes in Tennessee. Haha, funny funny. SIGH

I've been to ASU twice now.

I left my office on my lunch break and still no luck. I think I checked every coffee shop on campus, too. The rotunda was too vague for me to figure out where it was either.

What an ugly, enormous campus. I can't believe I went there for four years.

Regardless, I want to commend you guys on putting together an amazing contest.

Ok Dtoid, I tried again tonight. No luck. Unless they are in a place inaccessible to non-students, I'm pretty certain they aren't there.

OK, after a shower to warm up my chilled bones, I'd like to say:

Thanks Dtoid, for bringing the game to Kentucky, and for a fun contest! I'll probably grab Mirror's Edge when it's on the bargain rack/used rack for 15$ in a few years.

the Penn State one doesnt exist. Finding collectibles in a game isnt that much fun. Trying in RL sucks.

Gah. I wish the U of Utah wasn't an hour away from here. I've been up there twice now and I even found a Faith Wanted poster from Mirror's Edge in room 234 of the Student Union, But it wasn't it. (Crazy coincidence though...)

I'm convinced that they've been taken down or thrown away or something. I've spent 4 hours total on campus trying to find the thing, But no go.

Oh well. Next contest.

Good luck to anyone scouring Arizona State's campus, I spent over 3 hours with a friend looking exactly where the clues were hinting at and could not find them. FAIL
