Eligible entrants may also earn additional entries by completing bonus entry methods displayed within SweepWidget.
These may include social-media actions, partner actions and secret code entries.
Secret code entries
The Promoter plans to release six secret code words through AFTERSHOCK PC social content between 5 October 2026 and 10 October 2026.
Each valid secret code may be entered once per eligible entrant.
Each correctly submitted secret code provides one additional entry into the promotion.
Entrants do not need to find all six secret code words to participate.
An entrant may enter using one valid code or return on subsequent code-word days to earn additional entries.
PAX passport entry
Eligible entrants attending PAX Aus 2026 may also earn one additional entry by completing the official AFTERSHOCK PAX Passport experience.
To complete the PAX Passport entry, an entrant must:
- collect an official PAX Passport from the designated AFTERSHOCK location;
- personally complete the six designated PAX activities;
- collect all six required stamps; and
- submit or verify the completed Passport using the method directed by AFTERSHOCK staff.
A completed PAX Passport provides one additional entry.
Passports are limited to one per person.
Entrants may not collect stamps or complete a Passport on behalf of another person.
Eligible Victorian residents may enter both online and through the PAX Passport method.
Bonus Merch Booth stamp
Eligible entrants who have completed their PAX Passport may also earn one further additional entry by making a purchase at the AFTERSHOCK Merch Booth at PAX Aus 2026 and collecting an optional seventh (7th) bonus stamp on their Passport.
The bonus stamp provides one additional entry, is limited to one per Passport and must be collected during PAX Aus 2026.
A purchase is not necessary to enter or win. The bonus stamp is an optional additional entry method; free entry methods are available as set out in these Terms and Conditions.
Entry limits and fair participation
Entrants may not use multiple names, email addresses, identities, accounts, devices, automated systems, bots, scripts or other methods to circumvent entry limits or unfairly increase their number of entries.
Each entry method may be completed only as many times as permitted within the SweepWidget promotion.
The Promoter reserves the right to verify entries and disqualify any entrant who tampers with the entry process, submits false or misleading information, breaches these Terms and Conditions or otherwise attempts to gain an unfair advantage.
