Chipotle IQ: The Quiz That Pays in Free Burritos
Chipotle IQ is a trivia quiz that pays out in food. Ten questions about Chipotle, a perfect score, and a buy-one-get-one code lands in your account. The catch is the cap: codes are released in limited batches each hour, so knowing the answers is only half of it. Here is how the game works and what to expect.
Chipotle IQ is a 10-question quiz at chipotleiq.com, played with your Chipotle Rewards email. A perfect 10 out of 10 unlocks a buy-one-get-one entrée code, with roughly 5,000 codes released per hour to the first perfect scorers. You can play once per day.
- 10 questions — multiple choice, true or false, and write-in answers.
- Perfect score required — 9 out of 10 wins nothing.
- ~5,000 BOGO codes per hour to the first perfect scorers.
- One attempt per day during the campaign window.
- Extra credit question after a perfect score enters you for burritos for a year.
- Questions rotate, so copied answer lists go stale quickly.
What It Is
Chipotle IQ is a straightforward trivia quiz with an unusually good prize. Ten questions about Chipotle — ingredients, sourcing, menu history, brand facts — and a perfect score unlocks a buy-one-get-one entrée code.
The format mixes multiple choice, true or false, and write-in answers, which is what stops people brute-forcing it. Write-in questions in particular defeat casual guessing.
The Rules
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Where | chipotleiq.com |
| Login | Email tied to your Chipotle Rewards account |
| Questions | 10 per attempt |
| Score needed | 10 out of 10 — nothing less pays |
| Attempts | Once per day during the campaign |
| Prize | Buy-one-get-one entrée code |
| Cap | ~5,000 codes per hour to the first perfect scorers |
| Bonus | Extra credit question → draw for free burritos for a year |
The all-or-nothing scoring is the design choice that matters. Nine correct answers pays exactly the same as zero.
How to Prepare
Answer lists circulate on social media during every run, and they go stale fast because the questions rotate. Knowing the material is more durable. The topics that recur:
- Ingredient counts and sourcing — what goes into each item, covered across our nutrition menu
- What is in each protein’s marinade — see what is adobo, barbacoa, and carnitas
- Which items are vegan or gluten free — our allergen menu
- Menu history — when items launched and which are digital-only
- Dairy and cheese facts — the cheese page covers the specifics
Why Timing Matters
Codes are released to the first perfect scorers each hour, up to the cap. That makes this partly a speed contest: a perfect score at minute 55 of a busy hour may find the batch already claimed.
Practical approach: play early in an hour, have your Rewards login already active, and do not rush the write-in questions, since a wrong answer costs the whole attempt and you cannot retry until tomorrow.
The other Chipotle game is the Burrito Vault, which runs around National Burrito Day. The full annual cycle is on our deals calendar.
