Update 3 July 2021: KFC have ended The Great Bucket Hunt early due to lockdowns across the country.
From Tuesday 15 June 2021 to Monday 12 July 2021, KFC are dropping The Great Bucket Hunt with $22.8 Million+ in Prizes Up for Grabs!
How to Play
With The Great Bucket Hunt, you’ll use the KFC App to find one of 750,000 virtual buckets randomly located across the country in populated areas and close to KFC stores.
You’ll need to locate the buckets in the app, and then visit the bucket’s location in the real world before it expires to claim a prize!
This is similar to other augmented reality games such as Pokemon Go and the Real World Monopoly feature in McDonald’s Monopoly.
To get started, find The Great Bucket Hunt option in the KFC App and use the bucket map to track down your nearest buckets.
When you find a bucket before time expires, you’ll then have the opportunity to spin the virtual bucket to see which prize you win (see below for prizes). Every bucket you find wins you a prize.
You can find either normal Red & White Buckets, or Golden Buckets. If you reveal three Golden Buckets, you’ll win a Golden Bucket Prize – either $50,000 in cash or 1 of 8 $5,000 eftpos gift cards!
The prize will then be saved in your Bucket Stash in the App. If the prize you win is a food prize, you can choose to flip a virtual coin for a chance to win a prize of equal or greater value! If you lose the coin flip, you’ll receive a prize of equal or lesser value.
You can get up to three prizes at a time, and each prize will expire in 72 hours.
Also, when you download the App for the first time, you will receive a virtual bucket to spin to receive a free prize.
