Frequently asked questions
Everything on entering, winning and collecting. Still stuck? Head to the contact page and we will help.
How do I enter a competition?
Answer the skill question correctly, choose how many numbered sleeves you want from the wall, confirm you are 18 or over, and complete checkout. Your sleeves are yours the moment payment clears.
Is there a free way to enter?
Yes. No purchase is necessary. Send a postcard with your full name, address, email, date of birth and the competition name to the promoter address on our contact page. One free entry per person per competition, and free entries go into exactly the same draw with the same chance of winning as paid ones.
What are instant wins?
A set number of sleeves in each competition are instant winners, fixed at commit time before any entries are known. If your sleeve number is one of them, it is revealed as soon as the wall sells out — no waiting for the main draw.
How is the main draw done, and is it fair?
Before a competition opens we publish a commitment — a SHA-256 hash of a secret. When the wall sells out we publish the secret itself, and the draw is a deterministic shuffle seeded from it. Anyone can reproduce the result on our verify page, so the winners were fixed before entries were known and cannot be changed afterwards.
When does the draw happen?
The draw runs as soon as the final sleeve is claimed. Because the runs are small and fixed, there is no fixed calendar date — it draws the moment it sells out.
How do I get my prize — delivery or collection?
Winners can collect in person in Stoke-on-Trent or have the card sent by tracked, insured postage. Cards travel in a protective sleeve and toploader inside rigid packaging.
What are the age and location limits?
HoloHunt is strictly 18+ and open to UK residents only. We may ask for proof of age and address before releasing a prize.
Can I get a refund?
Entries are for a specific competition and are generally non-refundable once purchased. If a competition is cancelled before it draws, all paid entries are refunded in full. See the terms and conditions for the detail.
