Luv-A-Rug And Times Colonist Scavenger Hunt 

Welcome to Luv-A-Rug and the Times Colonist Scavenger Hunt!

Go to any of the stores listed below, find the posted codeword and enter it for a chance to win. Each business has a unique codeword, which gives you an extra entry into the promotion.

But be sure to visit us at Luv-A-Rug first (445 Beta Street) to enter the codeword you'll find on our QR poster.

(Oh and while you're here, you can even drop off any area rugs, hockey equipment, stuffed animals, outdoor furniture cushions you want cleaned).

This Scavenger Hunt is part of the Think Local Program to help you discover and support local businesses in Greater Victoria. 

The more we support each other, the more prosperous we all become (rather than shipping all our money into the pockets of some online billionaires who'll just go and buy their mistress an electric Porche or maybe another yacht for themselves).

So where can you find all the other scavenger hunt locations in town? We've got them listed for you right here:
