Chipotle is giving fans a fresh reason to keep checking their phones this week, thanks to a new promotion that could land some lucky players free burritos for an entire year, as per a report by Rolling Out.
Called the Chipotle Burrito Vault: Double Protein Edition, the limited-time game is officially live from March 30 through April 1, 2026. The promotion is designed as an interactive puzzle where players must crack a secret burrito ingredient combination before anyone else.
How does the Burrito Vault game work?
The game is hosted at unlockburritoday.com, where players sign in using their Chipotle Rewards account and begin guessing the secret ingredient Combo, as per a report by Rolling Out.
Every day during the promotion, a new Drawing Period begins every hour on the hour from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern Time. With each new hour comes a brand-new secret combination.
Players are allowed up to four guesses per Drawing Period. After every guess, the site provides feedback by showing which ingredients were correct and which ones missed the mark, turning the experience into a fast-moving puzzle challenge. The real key, however, is timing.
The first player to correctly guess the Combo in each Drawing Period wins free burritos for a year, making speed just as important as strategy.
What prizes can players win?
The headline prize is Burritos for a Year, which includes one free regular menu entrée every week for 52 weeks. The prize is valued at $554.44, and a total of 33 winners will receive it across the promotion.
There is also an upgraded Double Protein Burritos for a Year prize, valued at $773.76, which gives winners a free entrée with double protein every week for a year. A total of six of these prizes are available, as per a report by Rolling Out.
For players who guess correctly but do not land the grand prize, there are still several valuable reward tiers.
Up to 3,600 players per standard Drawing Period can win a Buy One Get One Free code, redeemable for a free regular entrée with the purchase of another.
Another 2,000 correct players can receive a Double Protein Code, which covers a free double protein add-on on any regular entrée.
What is the Double Protein Power Hour?
One Drawing Period each day is designated as the Double Protein Power Hour, and this is where the prize pool becomes even bigger.
During this special window, up to 7,200 players can win a Double Protein BOGO Code, while another 4,000 players can claim a Double Protein Code.
Most notably, the first two players to solve the Combo during this special hour each win Double Protein Burritos for a Year.
All BOGO and protein-related reward codes remain valid through 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on April 2, 2026.
Who can enter the giveaway?
The promotion is open to legal U.S. residents in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., as well as Canadian residents outside Quebec, provided they are at least 13 years old and have a Chipotle Rewards account.
Players under the legal age of majority in their location must have permission from a parent or guardian.
With 36 Drawing Periods across three days and a total prize pool worth more than $2 million, Chipotle has created plenty of chances for fans to take part.
For anyone who loves a good challenge, and even better, free burritos, this may be the tastiest game of the week.
