Winners of the five-figure grand prize will have to take and pass a polygraph test before they can claim their cash winnings.
According to the contest’s rules, the test will be conducted by a "sponsor-appointed representative to confirm their participation and engagement in the sponsor-provided activities and verify that they completed the requirement to be ‘internet and social media free’ in a manner acceptable by sponsor during the designated time period for each of the 30 nights of the challenge."

Registration for the challenge will conclude Sunday, Jan. 2, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. EST. Couples who wish to sign up for the challenge can submit an application on Kahlua.com/StirItUpChallenge. Competition hopefuls must be at least 21 years old and willing to submit a video bio for entry. Qualifying couples will be notified that they have been accepted into the competition.

Kahlúa said it’s issuing this challenge because nearly half of Americans "admit" that they spend "five to six hours on their phones daily," which the brand claimed is equivalent to almost nine years spent on mobile devices.
