Chipotle Launches Wordle-Inspired Game for Fans to Win Free Burritos

Chipotle introduces the Burrito Vault Game, allowing customers to score free burritos for an entire year. Inspired by the popular Wordle game, participants must decode two correct burrito order combinations, with four daily attempts on April 2 and 3.

The first 50,000 players to solve the puzzle will receive a BOGO entrée code and sweepstakes entry for April 4. 53 lucky word puzzle winners will be chosen to enjoy free burritos for a year, adding excitement and engagement to Chipotle's digital experience.

“We are launching Burrito Vault ahead of one of our most popular Chipotdays, National Burrito Day, giving players multiple opportunities to play and win,” Chris Brandt, Chipotle chief brand officer, said in a statement. “Burrito Vault is inspired by the popularity of word puzzles, which have swept the nation and become a daily ritual for so many of our fans and team members.”
