🐧🏆 Where's Chilly Challenge – Winner Announcement! 🏆🐧

After weeks of traveling the country, sneaking into aquariums, zoos, trade shows, grocery stores, gift shops, dinosaur exhibits, dive operations, and more than a few snack-related incidents... Chilly's latest adventure has come to an end!

Our feathered friend put your detective skills to the test, and once again, many of you proved that Chilly isn't quite as sneaky as he thinks he is. 😄

🥇 1st Place – Reagan Quarg
🥈 2nd Place – Haley Ryan Cryderman Lejman
🥉 3rd Place – Kayleen Kathryn Parker

Congratulations to our winners! 🎉 We will DM you with your prize and how to get it to you. You all were rockstars in finding Chilly and it was very close in placement.

Chilly would like everyone to know that he was absolutely convinced his hiding spot was perfect. In fact, he's currently blaming the results on "unfairly observant humans" and is already planning his next adventure.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated, searched, guessed, and followed along on Chilly's travels. Whether he was supervising divers, investigating dinosaurs, sampling cheesecake, inspecting gift shops, or hunting for snacks, you've made every challenge a lot of fun.

Don't worry—Chilly is already packing his bags (and probably a few snacks he wasn't supposed to take) for his next destination.

Until next time...

🔍🐧 Keep your eyes open, because Chilly could be hiding anywhere. Off to his next adventure...already sneaking into the travel bags.

🛒🐧 Where’s Chilly the Penguin – Seattle Snack Run Edition! 🌧️☕

This week, Chilly joined the crew in Seattle, Washington as they stocked up on groceries and supplies for another busy week on the road.

Everything was going according to plan... until someone mentioned snacks. 👀

Now, if you've been following Chilly's adventures, you know he has two weaknesses:
1️⃣ Exploring new places
2️⃣ Free food

The moment the crew started loading up the cart, Chilly wandered off on a mission of his own. Was he looking for fish? Cookies? Something sweet? Something that reminds him of the islands? Nobody knows for sure.

What we do know is that by checkout time... Chilly was nowhere to be found.

🔎 Your Mission:
Can you find Chilly hiding somewhere in the grocery store scene?

🏆 Challenge Rules:
• Be the FIRST to correctly DM us where Chilly is hiding and Answer to the trivia below
• Specific answers only — "by the food" doesn't count 😄
• Winner earns bragging rights and points in the Where's Chilly Challenge

👀 Warning:
Chilly is a professional snack hunter and has become extremely skilled at blending in with grocery displays.

Good luck, detectives... and keep an eye on the snack aisle! 🍿🐧
