Once you have gained access to the Award Zone, you will be given the opportunity to win a Mystery Prize. If the Award zone relates to a Corporate Isis Adventure, you will also need to enter the 2nd Isis code before continuing. You may only select one Mystery Prize. Once you have selected a prize, all other prizes will be locked out. Any one prize may be selected by one or more players. There can be only one winner per Mystery Prize. Each prize has a clue.
