#### Hmm. Anyone up for a scavenger hunt? ^_^ (Questions)

I'm bored and sick .. again.. like always :p .. so I was thinking something fun to do might be a scavenger hunt! ^_^*
What I need to know is....
1. If people even want one, or want to participate (if I get zero interest I won't bother with it of course)...
2. If I leave the clues around with prizes can I trust them to stay there / has anyone run a successful scavenger hunt without note-thieves taking everything left before the end of it...?
3. What kinds of things would people like to find? A poem? A bag of food? Toys? Pieces to a story? Tell me!
^_^
Edit: I have now created a group for anyone interested in the scavenger hunt! Go ahead and join and I'll let you know as soon as the hunt begins and other details, and maybe you can help out and stuff too!

- You cannot trust the notes to remain. You can work around it with a certain amount of redundancy (more notes or other ways to give clues), but don't trust that the notes you place will be there throughout the scavenger hunt. They may be - esp if it's super short - but one or two will probably have been nabbed (and possibly by accident - an eager reader who picked it up to read).

- Hmm I was worried of that Vera. =/
  *thinks*
  ... Maybe have fewer clues?

- I found a note of that ilk in Coldham Shift but there was no gift underneath. I left a Pleasing Amber for the next person and next time I returned, again there was nothing there.

- There was recently a scavenger hunt in the Sandbox run via gnomes, and that worked well. Could also do things like having people knock on certain doors to receive an IM or send mail to receive a clue.

  back in the day i had an 11 step hunt, but the clues kept getting taken and it was a full-time job replaving them.

- Thanks for the info..! Using gnomes is brilliant. I'd do that if they didn't scare the bejeebies outta me.... >_>

- 1. I would love to participate in a scavenger hunt.
  2. We did a kind-of scavenger hunt, more of an adventure type, we did use some notes to lead the players to the end. http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/10993/. We also did a group and invited all the players in so they could update each other on the adventure (there is a part where the adventure calls for a group effort). It worked well. But I like the idea using gnomes, too. You need not worry of the notes being taken. =)
  3. We did the pieces-to-a-story theme with our adventure but poem, bag of food, toys are all good, too.
  Hope that helped. n_n

- So wait... can gnomes be placed *anywhere*, then? (I don't know how to use them or place them since... as aforementioned more than once... they scare me pantsless)...

- Nope, just in front of a house you own, so the clues in that scavenger hunt sent people from house to house. But you could mix it up with gnomes/mail/door knocks/stashes, and maybe have people standing by the stashes to make sure they stay stashed?

- I would definitely play.

- If you need a gnome text message for your quest, I'll offer a comment slot on mine.

- My tree house in Muufo is currently gnomeless but I will get one if someone can put it good use!

- Togger I will keep you in mind as well if I decide to use gnomes for clues in the hunt! ^_^

- I forgot to mention, my gnome is very happy to whack people over the head with a clue-by-four. And if you want help coordinating/want people to do mail responses/help with stashes and so on, I'm happy to do so. :)

- Thanks Addelpated! I will keep you in mind too!!! I love how many people are expressing interest, thanks everyone! I'm getting excited! ^_^
  It will take me some time to get everything organised but I promise y'all will be the first to know about it when it starts. ^_+
