Today marks the release of a new Sonic Dash update which features a new global challenge. From today until the 5th of August, Sonic Dash users can contribute to a global challenge. The goal of the global challenge is for users to accumulate a total of 100 laps around the world. If Sonic Dash users achieve this then all users will unlock Shadow the Hedgehog as a free playable character.
To celebrate the launch of the app we are also running a Sonic Dash competition. Up for grabs are 3 exclusive Sonic Dash t-shirts (1 small, 1 medium and 1 large) and an exclusive Sonic Dash iPhone 5 case.
To enter, simply answer the following question:
In the lyrics to ‘Team Chaotix’, what is “Charmy’s thing”?
Simply email your answer, name and postal address to segadriven[at]live.com (replacing the [at] accordingly) and enter “Sonic Dash Global Challenge Competition” in the subject line. This competition is open to all our visitors worldwide but you must get your entries in by 5pm BST on August 2nd. As per the amount of prizes, there can only be 4 winners who will be chosen at random. As we only have 1 of each t-shirt size available we cannot secure you a certain size if you win.
