Each weekday, Chris will give you the time the game will be played and the “Cabo Quiz Secret Word”.  Then when it’s time to play, Chris will ask you three questions – get just two of them right and you go to the grand prize drawing!  AND if you catch Chris saying the secret word during the game you could get an extra entry and double your chance of winning!

A new  secret word will be announced each day a couple of times before the daily game is played.
