The competition is in celebration of the movie “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”, the second film in the saga.

The winner of the sweepstakes on Volvo’s website is awarded a Volvo XC60 for being the very first person to complete all of the puzzles as they are released. So far the first 3 of 6 phases have been released with the 4th 5th and 6th dates being as follows.

Puzzle #2:
The Poem from Romeo & Juliet.
Puzzle #2is a poem from Romeo & Juliet, Act V scene 1 where Romeo is buying poison. It goes as follows:
Apothecary
Put this in any liquid thing you will,
And drink it off; and, if you had the strength
Of twenty men, it would dispatch you straight.
Romeo
There is thy gold, worse poison to men’s souls,
Doing more murders in this loathsome world,
Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell.
Puzzle #3
Puzzle #3: Puzzle: Broken glass table. The table is an oval. Move the pieces that don’t have the family symbol on them to the outside and work on designing the symbol. Once that is done you can easily add the outside pieces.
Puzzle #4
Puzzle #4 is one of the harder ones, a Maze where Bella goes to find Edward.
I’m assuming this is a scene that will be in the movie? Bella is in a courtyard filled with people who are between her and Edward and you must find your way through to get to Edward. Follow the steps I make in the video to find your way, it took me many tries as this puzzles times out eventually.
Hint 1: At the beginning you don’t need to go to the right side of the maze twice in order to reach the center fountain area, I just got lost.
Hint 2: You will find that you move two spaces each time you press an arrow key as long as there is nothing in your way such as a guard or a wall. If you find that you have trouble making the steps because you need to move one space up and then over,try hitting two directions at once such as up and left at the same time.
Watch the video for the solution, but try to complete it first, it’s fun!
Puzzle #5
Puzzle #5 is the “People’s Choice” Volvo XC60 Features.
In number 6(Phase 5 still) you need to label places that are shown in the map. They are as follows:
1) Spratan Ave the address of Forks High School
2) James Island Across from First Beach and the La Push Reservation
3) Lincoln St where Edward saves Bella from the 4 men
Video:
Puzzle #7 :
Maze #2 – Spell stuff
You need to Push the people onto the letter ARO. No other letters can be highlighted. I did them in order, it was easier that way.
Puzzle #8
New Moon Phases of 1918
The hint is: Something that changed Edwards life. Well, in 1918 he became a vampire. Since they give you moons, and the story is called “New Moon” line up the new moon cycles from 1918 according to month, so here they are:
Jan: Sat the 12th (2nd row, last box)
Feb: Mon the 11th (3rd row, 2nd box)
Mar: Tues the 12th (3rd row, 3rd box)
April: Wed the 10th (2nd row, 4th box)
May: Fri the 10th (2nd row, 6th box)
June: Sat the 8th (2nd row, last box)
July: Mon the 8th (2nd row, 2nd box)
Aug: Tues the 6th (2nd row, 3rd box)

omg. soooo…it wouldnt even load for me till now. but i’m on part 2 of the last phase and it has black squares everywhere…is that normal? or is it supposed to look like an actual calendar?
TRESSA Tressa! ok whn u finished what did it say? did it say congratulations. u have successfully completed all of the puzzles in the What Drives Edward contest.and then some stuff about the grand prize winner being determined and to check your email on November 24 to see if u won?
stuck have the first moon on second row saturday, over to right, third row monday …..is this in the right direction, or should i be counting the days on the months?
Thank goodness. I finally finished. I was about to give up. The last part was the the new moons from 1918 BUT you had to be careful which website you got the dates from because some of them were wrong. I know I didn’t win, but I wanted to finish, so for those of you out there like me, use this link to the calendar and use the legend at the bottom of each month for the days of the new moon.
aurora- u have to change april 11 to the 10. its still the 1918 calander though. idk wht everybody else is saying abt the october one cause i didnt change it nd i finished the thing a good hr ago at least.

Thank You Everyone i Finished at 9 o clock in France
i hope i will win it but it can’t be because spent 3 hours of my time on it and i think people can make in less than 3 hours .but i still hope
thanks! congrats to whoever wins. if you live near oklahoma.
can i please have a ride? email me at babyruthie04@yahoo.com and i’ll give you my address. that would rock.
Ok, the time and date web site works….its just like a regular calendar that u look at!!! Very simple! Dont make it complicated! I know I didnt win, but it was still fun! There is nothing to do after the full moon calendar! It tells you congrats and that the winner will be notified on the 24th. Thats it! I highly doubt the it would have told anyone that they r the winner when it obviously is telling everyone the the winner will be notified!! Thanks for all the help!
I know I didn’t win the car but it was fun to just play the game.To bad they don’t give out something for like sec.and three place winners like The New Moon board game or a shirt from New Moon for playing this frustrating game..lol..But it was fun anyways.
Yaay I managed to get back in and complete it. Thanks for the calenders posted… having waited soo long to get back in to the puzzle page I made good use of your links… I wanted to complete it and be done with it as my evening has slipped away Well done to those who managed to complete it quickly… if it wasn’t for Chris I’d never know that such things as Lunar dates as far back as 1918 existed on the internet! Still so much to learn :p have a good evening/ day people… this has been fun!
i know for a fact that i didnt win, UNLESS IT’S A DRAWING!! that’d be amazing! in that case, we shouldnt post answers probably…even though they helped me…ahhh LOL idk. xD but anyways i’m about to go off to college & dont even have a car! it’d be EPIC to win one! especially edward’s!
omg two Cindy’s on this page.. I should have put my last name..lol..I wrote…I know I didn’t win the car but it was fun to just play the game.To bad they don’t give out something for like sec.and three place winners like The New Moon board game or a shirt from New Moon for playing this frustrating game..lol..But it was fun anyways.
i feel like i would have had a fair shot if it would have let everyone get on at 1259pm like it was suppose to. they should make it a drawing because of the techni. difficulties because it is impossible for that many people to be on one site at the same time

Well it sounds like it’s a good puzzle, still can’t get onto it. Is anyone else still having problems loading the last puzzle?
ok if a universal calendar tells you the phases of the moon…..why does this differ? not getting it………GAH!
omg. soooo…it wouldnt even load for me till now. but i’m on part 2 of the last phase and it has black squares everywhere…is that normal? or is it supposed to look like an actual calendar?
