Once they have found all five, they will be entered into a prize draw for a chance to win a Nintendo Wii, a Wii Balance Board and a copy of the Super Monkey Ball game. Every user that completes the hunt will be awarded with an interactive Aii Aii (Main Monkey character in the game) figure for their nest.
Bin Weevils are hosting an online launch party for a week, where kids will be able to enter competitions, to download a Valentine’s Day themed Super Monkey Ball wallpaper, or to watch the game-play from the trailer.
