After a series of questions, you’re placed in the S.H.I.E.L.D. or Hydra camps. Each mission includes a number of questions that test your knowledge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and are generally true/false or multiple choice. I found most of the questions to be quite easy.As you carry out missions, a badge is earned and entries into the contest are added. If you decide you share those badges on social media, 10 more contest entries are up for grabs based on the different places you share it. This includes Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.
