Introduction

In tribute to Studio Zero hitting the 40,000 post milestone, we've decided to bring a community competition to the table. It's a scavenger hunt.

To start it off, we will supply you with one clue. You use this clue to find the next clue and then use that clue to find the clue after that until you find the prize.

The prize is something unique to SZ that has never been done before on Proboards. The member who figures out the prize will also be given a custom user group with a custom user group image just as a token for winning.

Here's How it Works

You will use the clue given to you below and use it to find the next clue. Clues can be hidden any where within StudioZero from the coding boards to someone's profile to the source code to an image alt tag. You then take the next clue and use it to find the next clue. There will be 7 clues.

Your First Clue:
  • Hidden in the depths of Studio Zero, you will find the source of this hunt. Your target is a little ball like creature. Near to this creature you will find arrows to use on this creature. After slaying the creature, find an interpreter to tell you the creature's English name.


How to figure it out
You follow the clues. Simple as that. At the very end, you need to find out board ID of the hidden surprise. and put it into this url:



The board is password protected with the same word that is used as the boardID.

How do I win?
By finding each and every clue. Once you find everything, send a PM to Chris with a link to every clue (unless a link is not possible. Then just tell what the clue was and where it was located) and the link you are meant to find. First person to get every clue right will win and the board will be revealed to the public.

Helpful Tips
  • Use the User Notes of your profile to keep track of the clues
  • The clues can lead you anywhere. The source code. Really old posts. Other skins. You need to think outside the box


Rules
This thread is for talking about the Hunt only. There is absolutely no posting guesses as to what clues mean or links to clues anywhere on SZ. Anyone found to be doing so will be disqualified and may receive a temporary ban if they persist to post hints and/or links.

You may, however, speculate on what this new board is within this thread.


Good Luck and get hunting. :-*

WTF

O_o

I had like one clue, but I didn't slay anything and there wasn't any interpreter, or pretty much anything to let me know I was on the right track or on any sort of track at all.

Oh come on guys. >.< It's not that hard. There's one word in the first sentence that says all you need to know.

What on earth is the little ball like creature, I still have no idea. D=

And for the second one. Location, location, location. >_<
Hope I'm looking at the right thing.

(Love the idea of the scavenger hunt <3)

(Also love the first three words in the second clue :-*)

(And wow, you must have been planning this for a long time =3)

Well, Simie has indeed won the contest. I'm going to lock this now, signifying the end of the contest. Board will go public shortly and Simie will get his reward once Josh gets back.
