Registration has closed for this event! Sorry if you missed out on this one but keep an eye out for future promotions from Swiss Water!

How does it work?

We’ll ship out a package of three mystery coffees along with a video game-inspired board game. You can play the game by yourself or with your friends, colleagues or partners (if local restrictions allow and you can do it safely). As you move through the game you will cup the coffees and be tasked with three unique sensory challenges. Once you have beaten the maze and completed the challenges, you will upload your results to be scored.

What's the prize?

The competitor with the most points will win the grand prize of:

• A La Marzocco Mini Espresso Machine
• A La Marzocco Coffee Grinder

Second Place will receive:

• A Ratio 6 Coffee Brewer

Third Place will receive:

• A Commandante® Coffee Grinder in Dark Blue

How do you win?

It’s simple: Most correct answers wins the game!
But first, to be eligible to win, you need to post about the challenge on your Instagram timeline AND stories (or reels) tagging @swisswater and #decafmanchallenge
In the event of a tie, our VIP judges (along with the Swiss Water team) will review the Instagram timeline posts of all tied competitors and select the winner based on the most creative post.
