appraiserABOUT_____
It's a city-wide treasure hunt! In teams of 2 to 4, characters follow clues to different places around the city as they compete to see who can reach the grand prize first.
Sign-ups for this event runs from May 28 to June 3, and the event itself will start on June 4. ICly, the treasure hunt will take place on June 4, but clues will be released over a two week period to help players pace themselves.
TEAMS_____
Teams consist of 2 to 4 participants, either pre-determined or randomly assigned on the day of the event. Reply here to sign up your team, or here to look for team members. All teams should be finalized by June 4 when the IC log goes up. If a player decides to drop out of a team or cannot be contacted after this date, the remaining players can handwave the team splitting up and continue playing as long as there are at least 2 members left in the team.
CLUES_____
Clues will be distributed randomly to each team, with different teams receiving different clues so that they are not in direct competition with each other in a single linear path to the prize. Absolutely all the information required to solve the clues can be found on the locations page in the business blurbs, districts, and possibly the map itself, with no outside knowledge needed.
Each clue will have two parts to it:
1) The clue itself will guide the team to a specific location— To submit clue solutions, teams will submit their IC event thread to their OOC team thread under the corresponding clue once they believe they have gotten to the correct location. If it's wrong, I will reply ASAP saying so, so that the team may try again.
2) If it's correct, once the team is at the correct location, they must either find where the next clue is physically hidden in that location, or perform some sort of task to receive the next clue. In the OOC team thread, I will reply with details for retrieving the next clue, plus the next clue itself, on or after the following release dates:
Clue 1- June 4 (Sunday)
Clue 2- June 7 (Wednesday)
Clue 3- June 10 (Saturday)
Clue 4- June 13 (Tuesday)
Clue 5- June 16 (Friday)
Basically, clues will be spaced out every 3 OOC days as not to rush the event. Teams that solve their clue early will need to wait for the next release date for their next clue, but teams are free to play at their own pace too (for example, a team that solves clue #2 on June 15 will receive clue #3, and if solved, clue #4, but will still have to wait until June 16 for clue #5). I will continue handing out clues past June 16 for as long as teams want to keep playing, but only the first team to solve their fifth clue will receive the grand prize.
PRIZES_____
The grand prize is fun times, great memories, and bragging rights!! For the winning team that is first to solve their 5th clue, each member will receive a medal engraved with their name, and $1000 will be donated to a charity of their choosing. All other participating teams that reach and solve the 5th clue will receive consolation prizes donated by businesses around the city, which I will make up and/or players can volunteer in the top-level here.
