Win an Xperia Play in GameSpot UK's treasure hunt!

Hello, and welcome to GameSpot UK's Sony Ericsson Xperia Play Competition! This is the first step in a treasure hunt that will see one person taking home one of the first 10 Xperia Play phones off the production line, while the next five will each bag themselves a pair of tickets to the official launch in London.

So, what do you have to do to bag yourself this awesome prize? Well, we've laid out a number of clues for you to follow based around the theme of Android--wherever you see the little robot, you'll need to dig deeper. The clues are trailed across the site, but you'll need to use other tools available online to decipher some of the puzzles. Any questions? Hit us up in the comments. Good luck, and happy hunting!

Your first clue begins on this page, where you can find out more about Xperia Play, as well as see it in action. Remember, keep your wits about you, and follow the trail of the Android.

Note: The official launch will take place in a central London location on Thursday, March 31. All winners will need to make their way down to the event at their own expense. Competition is open to UK residents only.
