Win Star Alliance Gold!

Star Alliance have just posted something interesting on Facebook. There are 36 prizes of Star Alliance gold to be won.

If you can get the game to work, which unfortunately didn't for me, then maybe someone can explain what to do to me! I'm using a Windows 7 computer with Google Chrome, though when I get home I'll try with ubuntu, firefox, chrome and chromium.

It looks like a timed game where you answer questions, and an incorrect answer adds to your overall time. Here are the full terms and conditions.

The Gold Game is an online game with the Gold Status benefits at its core. It will feature five quick-fire rounds, with each question linked to a Gold Status benefit. The questions will test the player's international travel knowledge where they will be asked multiple choice questions, puzzle solving and observational skills. Players get one go of the game and a second chance if they share it via social media channels or via email. Subject to the following Terms and Conditions, players have the chance to win Gold Status on a member airline Frequent Flyer Programme of their choice:
