Social Media Week comes to Glasgow on 19th-23rd September and Find Me Glasgow are joining in the fun, with a treasure hunt taking place around the Subway on Friday 23rd of September from 1-3pm.

Shug is having a day out in the city using the Subway - all you have to do is identify each of the Subway stations that he’s visited. To help you out, Shug has left a picture of himself in his new orange coat at each of the five stations he’s been to and given us clues to help you find them.

Anyone who finds all five clues can enter a prize draw that will take place when the hunt finishes at 3pm. We’ve got some great prizes courtesy of 02, The Ubiquitous Chip, The Kings Theatre, O2 Academy and many more.

To register your interest in taking part and for full details please visit our event listing on the Social Media Week website.
