Lasting for two weeks, the hunt is sure to put fans in a frenzy. Consisting of seven rounds, the Lady Gaga Scavenger Hunt will begin with in-store codes that fans can scan, which will then take them to clues. These clues will lead them to blogs, and to various other tests of math, logic and reading. The first to solve the clues will be prized with [Starbucks and Lady Gaga merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-holiday-merchandise).
