Today we are happy to announce the first of a series of weekly online scavenger hunts from MongoDB. Answer a series of 10 clues by visiting MongoDB resources including our blog, forums, documentation and more and learn about these resources while earning some awesome rewards!
Each participant who completes a single scavenger hunt will earn:
A MongoDB sticker pack
The “Internet Detective” badge on the MongoDB Community forum
Each Monday we will post a new set of clues giving you the chance to earn additional badges and other rewards. A special reward will also be given to anyone who completes all the weekly scavenger hunts this spring and summer (more details to come).
Every scavenger hunt will run from Monday until 5pm US Eastern time on Friday.
Have an idea for a clue or question that should be included? Let us know!
So I have found all the answers, however I cannot complete the address section as it will not take a postal code from Canada even though it ask for State/Province and mentions the phone number is required for addresses outside of the US.
Is this open in Canada? I would really like a sticker pack! Will I lose my opportunity this week since the forum does not accept postal codes?
UPDATE
I put the postal code in with the address field and left the Zipcode section blank. Please update this so that Canadians can participate
I should have used the classic 90201 like I did when I was 12 and signing up for hotmail. lol
Hoping to still get my sticker pack. Although Canada post has lost my last 2 packages due to the COVID policy changes with signatures…
@Natac13@steevej - I’m sorry you ran into trouble with the form. Can you share a bit more detail so we can look into this? The form as configured should not have a “zip code” field and features a field labeled “postal code” which is not required and has no validation set up. The form does require name, address, city, country and email.
I was able to complete the form without anything in the Postal Code field. I just move the right postal code to the address field. Hopefully I can still get the sticker pack!
@Natac13 - That shouldn’t be a problem for shipping and I’ll make a note to correct for this when we process the results. This issue should also now be corrected. It appears that the field had required turned off and a validation entry that had been cleared but still specified “number”. That’s been removed. Thanks again for the feedback and for helping make this fun rather than frustrating
Hey, I completed the hunt too (I sure got to the stage where I entered the postal code). How is that I didn’t earn the badge? Is it for a few “chosen” ones?
Badges are awarded to everyone who completed the scavenger hunt and provided their user name in the form. That said, it’s a manual load process right now and it’s possible that I or the uploader made a mistake. Let me look into it. Thanks for letting me know!
