How It Works:
Did you catch it? During last night's Game 1 broadcast, Chipotle hid a unique keyword that unlocked 10,000 free burritos at the end of its ad. Without a heads up on the tip-off, the "no look" attempt came as a surprise to basketball fans. As the series progresses, the brand will continue to offer a number of prizes that varies from game to game.
At any point during the remaining games in the series, Chipotle will air a broadcast TV commercial with a keyword hidden in the end card. With the word now officially out, codes will go fast.
To score a free entrée, fans will have to put a full court press on texting the keyword to 888-222.
Schedule:
Game 2 - Thursday, July 8---10,000 free burritos
Game 3 - Sunday, July 11---20,000 free burritos
Game 4 - Wednesday, July 14 ---30,000 free burritos
Game 5 (If necessary) - Saturday, July 17---40,000 free burritos

Game 7 (If necessary) - Thursday, July 22---10,00 free burritos
Award Winning "Freeting":
Chipotle has become known for identifying innovative solutions for engaging with its fans, during the Men's Professional Basketball Championship Series in 2019, it premiered "freeting." Every time an on-air announcer said the word "free" during the official coverage of the series, @chipotletweets live tweeted a unique code good for a chance to score a free burrito. Chipotle gave away one million dollars of free burritos during the campaign and received recognition from Digiday with a 'Best Use of Mobile' award, Adweek's Constellation award, and was also a finalist for the 2020 North American SABRE awards, Shorty Awards, and Webby Awards.

Par for the course with Chipotle promos.
So there was no ad. Chipotle just straight up lied to everyone. Well, done.

"First 10,000 people to text GAME2 to 888-222 before the end of the game get a free burrito. This is probably the most attention you've ever paid to a commercial, right?"
