MOST CONTESTS TAKE A WEEK... but this debut game will be quick money!
Slowly but surely, I'm getting all my ducks in a row for the X MARKS THE POST Treasure Hunt debut on Thursday, during the PYPT show hosted by @shadowspub on the Steemit Ramble channel. I'm so excited!!!!
If you're interested in playing... you'll need to show up there on Thursday for her afternoon show! (4pm PST) Go ahead and join this discord channel if you haven't already, so you can get yourself set up there and be ready!
I've finished creating the logo for the hunt! Any post that is a location on the Hunt will have this logo as the preview image - that's how you'll know you're definitely in the right place!
Since we'll be getting clues from posts along the way, I decided to call it "X Marks the Post".... see how I did that? hehehe - i flipped the.. nevermind.
Remember that the Hunt on Thursday will be fast and furious! This will be the trial run, so that you can have a general understanding of the premise of the game!
ok... now for a quick and simple demo.
Let's say that I was going to ONLY be using this one post as the place to find clues. I would tell all my hunters.... go find the clues buried in this post to reveal the secret phrase!
Clue 1: 4th paragraph, 3rd word
Clue 2: 5th paragraph, 6th word
Clue 3: 1st paragraph, 4th word
Clue 4: 3rd paragraph, 15th word
Clue 5: 5th paragraph, 4th word
Clue 6: 2nd paragraph, 8th word
The words would be: going, Thursday, I'm, on, Hunt, to.
Unscramble them? I'm going to Hunt on Thursday.
The first treasure hunter that would be able to unscramble the phrase and enter it into the chat - wins :)
This was just a demo. On Thursday, my game post will direct you to 4 different posts by different steemians, one of which is a post by our weekly sponsor steemian! Each of their posts will hold a clue. I'll tell you EXACTLY where to find that clue. You must UPVOTE each of their posts in order to be eligible to win. (you do NOT have to upvote my game post)
In future games - one clue will be given per day. This will allow time to actually read and enjoy the posts, upvote and comment meaningfully. The point of this game is to BUILD community, SUPPORT steemians, and ENGAGE thoughtfully with one another. Hopefully, as the game grows - so will the opportunity to win BIGGER PRIZES!
