There are a few items in the picture NOT even near the park. The beach with the posts and lighthouse for sure. I think Mt. Hooiberg is not in the park, neither is the natural bridge (which collapsed in 2005).
I guess rule of thumb, be specific not accurate.

Can we also participate :)
Hi Folks,
The addresses I have with IHG are India and Austria ( for business).. I saw some threads that folks residing in EU are also able to submit their answers..
Can someone confirm if they got the points if their answer was correct for this last weeks quiz so that I can also participate then..

So, how would you know if you guessed correctly? The site says come back on Monday, but where to look? And i mean not a grand prize, but to see if you are credited for the answer.

This is disappointing because last week's answer was inaccurate based on the locations in the photo. Hopefully they do a better job on the upcoming ones.

Well, I entered Arikok NP, Aruba as my Thursday answer and Aruba, Kingdom of the NL as my Friday answer. I hope that they won't consider that the last answer wipes the earlier ones....

It almost seems it is a design purposely to make you not guessing correctly.

So did anyone get their points? I followed FT wisdom and submitted Arikok NP, Aruba, I hope they'll send the points my way.

A very fun game, or at least it will be once they hopefully get the kinks worked out here. With their other current lucrative promos going on they seem to be going above and beyond with this one so maybe we should try not to be too harsh with the complaints and not provide substance to the old adage that "no good deed goes unpunished."
PC deserves much more credit here than critique, so let's at least give 'em a chance to work this all out. ^

There seem to be a few people on this thread with points fever!
If you are lucky enough to get some free points dished out then great! But there is only so much you can complain about, PC in no way owe anyone these points...

I quite like the PC promotions right now--I think CTC is clever (this from someone who received some fairly easy thresholds, but then again, not all that many bonus points for unlocking my case), am delighted to have a 2-for-1 free night deal (even with the no-points rule), and I think this one's rather appealing, too.
