Day 1 - Daily Task - The Answer


The Daily Task for Day 1 is now closed!

Wow! A crazy first day on the ROI Scavenger Hunt saw over 200 people register for the game!

Many of you have got off to a flying start, whilst some of you will need to work a little harder to catch up...

The answer to today's puzzle was NATALIE PORTMAN.


The 6 actors and actresses that appeared on the wall behind Debbie and Dudu, and the movies in which they co-starred with Natalie Portman, were:

Liam Neeson & Ewan McGregor - Star Wars movies
Jean Reno - Leon
Mila Kunis - Black Swan
Scarlett Johansson - The Other Boleyn Girl
Jake Gyllenhaal - Brothers

So, congratulations to everyone who answered 'Natalie Portman'. You have each earned 2 Scavenger Hunt points. To everyone else, don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to catch up!

Check back shortly for the updated scoreboard and to see if you are one of today's Daily Prize winners! Remember, 3 lucky winners will each win an AHAVA gift box!

And we'll see you tomorrow (or later today, depending on your time zone) for the next Daily Task.
