Chipotle’s New Roblox Experience
Ready for Cinco de Mayo? The celebration won’t be complete without Chipotle joining in on the fun! On Cinco de Mayo, Chipotle will be launching its new “Ingredient Quest” gaming experience. Players are tasked to find and collect virtual cards featuring the brand’s 53 ingredients for a chance to win FREE burritos. This game will be accessible via the Burrito Builder experience on Roblox.
According to Chipotle, it created the “Ingredient Quest” to educate its younger customers on the brand’s real ingredients and give them a chance to claim a real reward in the physical world. The “Ingredient Quest” launches on May 5, 3 p.m. PT, accessible via this page. Here are the mechanics of the game:
- Get inside Chipotle’s virtual restaurant in Burrito Builder. You will meet an employee inside and get a starter pack of five unique ingredient card packs. Each pack contains five cards.
- Roll burritos in Burrito Builder to earn Burrito Bucks. You can use these to redeem ingredient card packs. The goal is to collect all 53 ingredient cards.
- The remaining eight ingredient cards are hidden within Chipotle’s Burrito Builder experience, so prepare for a virtual scavenger hunt!
- The first 50,000 players to collect all 53 unique ingredient cards will get a FREE entrée offer.
In addition to this new gaming experience, Chipotle has other real food offers in the lineup. From May 1 to May 5, guests can enjoy a $0 delivery fee offer using the promo code “DELIVER.” From May 3 to May 5, the brand is also offering free chips and Queso Blanco when you use the promo code “CINCO25.” Both offers are available exclusively via the Chipotle app and the brand’s website.

From The Club
I love everything about this roundup, but most especially Panera‘s Croissant Clutch! I’m actually a fan of the baguette bag, so I’m all for this new merch drop. And if you haven’t done it yet, go and try the Croissant Toast Sandwiches. Fans would tell you they’re so good, they deserve their own bag, lol! For new flavors to try, there’s Burgerville and their wide variety of new menu releases, but if you’re looking to cop up deals or experience something new (virtually), Chipotle is the place to be.
