SPG Open the World is a new sweepstakes game from Starwood, where you can enter twice per day (per account) for up to 25,000 Starpoints. This is similar to the Tap into Luxury game that they did last fall.

How to play SPG Open the World
It’s easy and takes no skill. Go to the SPG Open the world contest page. After entering your SPG number and email address, you’ll get a prompt to pick a device to use to open your door (many SPG hotels don’t have keys and you use your mobile phone to open your door)
After picking a device (I don’t think it matters which one), you can pick a door to open
Then you get informed that you lost 🙂
Problems accessing the SPG Open the World contest page
Initially I had problems accessing the SPG Open the World page. I would get to the page with the phones, but when I picked a phone and chose “next”, it just took me to the main page without doing anything else. Eventually I was able to get SPG Open the World to work by using an incognito window of Chrome.
I don’t know if that will help anyone else, but it worked for me
