Chipotle IQ returns August 18 through August 20, giving Chipotle Rewards members in the U.S. and Canada a chance to score BOGO entrée offers, free Cilantro Lime Sauce, free Queso Blanco and Rewards points by answering Chipotle trivia questions.

Players can visit ChipotleIQ.com and sign in using the email connected to their Chipotle Rewards account. The game features five multiple-choice and true-or-false questions, and fans get one chance to play each day.

And a perfect score could pay off.

Each hour, the first 8,000 players to score 5 out of 5 will receive a food reward. Chipotle says the hourly prizes include:

• 5,000 BOGO entrée offers
• 1,500 free Cilantro Lime Sauce offers
• 1,500 free Queso Blanco offers

Even if you miss out on one of the food prizes, a perfect score can still earn you 50 Chipotle Rewards points, while players who get four out of five questions correct can earn 25 points, while supplies last.

Free Chipotle for a Year

There’s an even bigger prize on the line this year.

Players who score 5 out of 5 could be randomly selected to receive one of 53 Silver Tickets. Those players will get a bonus question, and anyone who answers it correctly will win free burritos for a year.

Chipotle is also adding Daily Streaks to Chipotle IQ. Playing on two or three consecutive days can unlock additional bonus points and exclusive Rewards badges.

Chipotle says fans completed more than 1.8 million Chipotle IQ quizzes in 2025, nearly twice as many as in 2024.

There's Even a Chipotle Card Game

Chipotle IQ is also moving beyond your phone this year with the first-ever physical Chipotle IQ card game, featuring more trivia for fans to play with friends and family.

From August 17 through August 31, Chipotle Rewards members can exchange 10 Rewards points for an entry into the company's Game Night Sweepstakes. Winners will receive the limited-edition card game along with a Build Your Own Family Meal.

Chipotle IQ runs from 6 a.m. PT August 18 through 5:59 p.m. PT August 20. No purchase is necessary, and eligibility and prize restrictions apply.

So, how well do you actually know your Chipotle order?

Panettiere’s representative confirmed her death Sunday, describing the actress as an “incredible light” who brought love and joy to those who knew her and the millions who watched her onscreen. A cause of death has not been announced.

Panettiere began working in entertainment as a child, appearing in commercials before landing roles on the soap operas “One Life to Live” and “Guiding Light.” She went on to appear in films including “Remember the Titans,” “Racing Stripes,” “Ice Princess” and “Bring It On: All or Nothing.”

Her breakout role came in 2006 when she began playing cheerleader Claire Bennet on NBC’s “Heroes.” The character’s ability to rapidly heal from injuries became one of the defining elements of the hit series, which ran for four seasons.

Panettiere later starred opposite Connie Britton in the musical drama “Nashville,” playing country singer Juliette Barnes from 2012 until the series ended in 2018. The role earned Panettiere two Golden Globe nominations.

She was also well known to horror fans as Kirby Reed in the “Scream” franchise. Panettiere first played the character in 2011’s “Scream 4” and returned to the role more than a decade later in “Scream VI.”

Away from the screen, Panettiere had spoken publicly about some of the struggles she faced throughout her life and career, including growing up in the entertainment industry, postpartum depression and addiction. Earlier this year, she released her memoir, “This Is Me: A Reckoning.”

Panettiere was also the older sister of actor Jansen Panettiere, who died unexpectedly in 2023 at the age of 28. She later spoke openly about the profound grief she experienced following his death.

Panettiere is survived by her daughter, Kaya.

Additional details surrounding her death have not yet been released.

Dunkin’, Starbucks and Panera are bringing back their fall menus in August, giving fans an early taste of the flavors they wait for every year.

Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice Returns August 19

Dunkin’ is kicking off its pumpkin season on August 19, 2026.

The company announced the return date on its official Instagram account, confirming that its Pumpkin Spice lineup is coming back. The lineup includes returning pumpkin favorites, including the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte, along with pumpkin donuts, muffins and MUNCHKINS.

For anyone ready for fall before summer is officially over, Dunkin’ is getting the season started early.

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Returns August 25

The Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte returns August 25, 2026, Starbucks has confirmed.

The PSL will be joined by returning favorites including the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai and Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino.

Starbucks is also adding new pumpkin drinks this year, including an Iced Pumpkin Cream Shaken Espresso, Pumpkin Spice Chai and Iced Pumpkin Cream Matcha.

Beyond pumpkin, the fall menu includes returning pecan drinks such as the Pecan Crunch Latte and Pecan Cortado, plus the new Chaider, a chai-and-apple-cider-inspired drink.

The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin is also returning.

Panera Gets in on Pumpkin Spice Season

Panera is also getting an early start on fall.

The chain's fall menu arrives August 19, bringing back its Pumpkin Spice Latte along with new seasonal drinks and treats.

The lineup includes a Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee and Pumpkin Spice Frozen Java, plus fall bakery items including a Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll and Caramel Pumpkin Slice.

Why Is Pumpkin Spice Coming Back So Early?

Pumpkin spice has become more than a seasonal flavor. The return of these drinks has become an unofficial signal that fall is on the way—even when August temperatures still feel like summer.

Coffee chains have also expanded far beyond the traditional pumpkin latte, adding cold brews, cold foam, chai, matcha and pumpkin-inspired bakery items.

And for pumpkin spice fans, the early arrival is pretty simple: why wait for fall when you can have it now?

Whether you're Team Dunkin’, Team Starbucks or looking for a pumpkin fix at Panera, the wait is almost over.

Pumpkin spice season is officially back. 🎃☕
