If you’ve ever smashed a controller in anger and instantly regretted the 50 bucks you’ve just thrown down the drain, then might have the best alternative to pricy rage issues. And you get a bit of chocolate out of it, too.
In collaboration with the upcoming film starring Timothée Chalamet, Xbox sweepstakes are giving players the chance to win a Wonka-themed Xbox Series X (which is not technically edible unless you have a penchant for plastic and electronic sandwiches) and an edible controller.
Below are the details of what can be won in the sweepstakes. If a chocolate controller is not ideal, there’s an actual one in there, too, as well as some separate chocolates.
: A special Wonka chocolate bar-inspired Xbox Series X bundled with a unique console display modeled after the magic of Willy Wonka’s iconic chocolate store. While the console may look like one of Wonka’s famous chocolate bars, the Wonka-inspired Xbox Series X is not edible.
A beautiful box of surprises celebrating the new “Wonka” film containing the first-ever official edible Xbox Controller made of 100% pure chocolate and wrapped in the signature gold wrapper; a custom-designed, burgundy-colored Xbox Wireless Controller inspired by Wonka’s coat from the film; and five additional chocolate truffles uniquely crafted to complement your Xbox gaming adventures including:
Wonka, from Paul King, writer/director of the Paddington films, is a mix of magic and music, mayhem and emotion. Starring Timothée Chalamet in the title role, this irresistibly vivid and inventive big-screen spectacle will introduce audiences to a young Willy Wonka, chock-full of ideas and determined to change the world one delectable bite at a time—proving that the best things in life begin with a dream, and if you’re lucky enough to meet Willy Wonka, anything is possible.
Starring alongside Chalamet are Calah Lane, Emmy and Peabody Award winner Keegan-Michael Key, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Mathew Baynton, Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Carter, with Oscar winner Olivia Colman and Hugh Grant. The film also stars Natasha Rothwell, Rich Fulcher, Rakhee Thakrar, Tom Davis and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.
Fans can enter to win the limited-edition Wonka prizes by following Xbox on X (formerly Twitter) and retweeting the official Xbox sweepstakes tweet. The giveaway will run from November 13, 2023 through December 14, 2023.
Wonka is in theaters on December 15, 2023.
