  3. UPDATE: Okay I lied about the one hint.


    Hint #1 - Treasure Hunters last night was given the opportunity to ask one question which I could answer yes or no to. They agreed on asking something like "Is the key an object" to which I answered Yes. Also Carrots.

  10. That was fast! Had you intended for it to be so? I thought this would be something buzzing in the background for a few days to a couple of weeks.

  11. Can I still post a random comment? thanks :)

    Also, I'd just let you know that I'm kinda sad that I couldn't have been a part in this: I always like tressure hunts :p

  13. It's always difficult to predict how creative people are gonna be, but I'd say the speed of it was somewhat what I had expected.

  14. That was a pretty neat giveaway
    I tried it for a bit but I don't really need the money either :p

    More stuff like this in the future might be cool

  15. Can we get told what happened?

    I found these carrots, but didn't know what to do from there. And some waterfalls.

  16. I like how people say that they understand (part) of it, while I'm here sitting, not understanding anything of this treasure hunt. :p

    Anyways, nice of you to do this. :)
  17. I would love to see a full write-up of the solution. :)
  18. The idea was to really make it solvable by someone randomly passing by it, but also having good clues for the more creative treasure hunters.

    The "route" I was hoping/expecting it was solved in was something along this.

    I expected people to check out my mall at 1112, so there was 2 signs in open view at the spawn point of 1112. One said "h2o" hinting at the blue color of my diamond pyramid and one had questions marks shaped as a pyramid (hinting at the pyramid)

    So once people made it to the pyramid, there were carrots in item frames at the top pointing towards my museum (1011) and my mall (1112) hinting that the treasure and/or key were located there.

    At this point, the intention was to have people roam around those two residences for a while, until they would find the Ender Pearl shop somewhere outside on the museum building, that had two signs "This is not what you are looking for" and "You might want to bring an extra" If you bought a pearl and used it, you would end up on the roof of my mall finding a sign saying "or is it" hinting back to the other sign you just read. That would hint that something is on the roof, and there was. The key was on the backside of my mall on the roof, and the key was a book you could buy from one of those special remote signs.

    Once you got that, the only really hint for the treasure was the "you might need an extra" sign, hinting that to find the treasure an enderpearl would be helpful. Knowing the carrots pointed towards the musuem (1011) I was expecting the keyholders to look around there, and if a player made it to Floor 7, they would find a hole in the floor. In that hole they would find an open area to ender pearl into, revealing the treasure as a sell sign where you could sell the key for 3,000,000r.


    Also, the winner of the "post a comment" giveaway will be revealed at the start of the next treasure hunt and might play a part to find the next treasure. ;)
