Candy Cane 13




YAY!! SL's favorite holiday hunt is back for it's 13th year! Candy Cane is a non-denominational festival of stripes. Our hunt features a few changes this year, mostly having to do with hints. See below for details.


DATES: Dec 1 - Dec 25, 2021

COST: $3L per item. Merchant keeps money

STOPS: TBA

GIFTS: Female Only or Both/Unisex! Home and Garden also!

THEME: Gifts should be in theme for this hunt but interpreting the theme is up to the creator. Red and white stripes, holiday, winter, cocoa, etc. Its not forbidden, but merchants are asked to avoid making specific religious items due to the diversity of SL


Gingerbread Path - Home & Garden
Peppermint Path - Home & Garden
Jack Frost Path - Male & Female or Unisex
Sugarplum Fairy Path - Female Only
Ice Queen Path - Female Only

CHANGES

We have updated our system and now have hint huds you can wear and click when you land. You can get these by clicking a hunt sign at any store or the gateway. There are also hint buttons on each sign. (The sign is not always obvious or easy to find so I suggest using the huds.)

For this reason the hints will no longer be added to the blog. The hints can now be easily programed by the merchant and this makes it simple for them to move their hunt item and update the hint at will to thwart cheat sheets etc. 

We also now have a start and stop time programmed into our hunt items. They will not sell prior to that time. You will no longer be able to grab prizes early or find stragglers still in place after the hunt ends. They will self-delete. You also cant spy the hiding place in advance. Our hunt items are equipped to be invisible until the start time.

World Tour 2021


 
One of my favorite hunts I ever came up with! We started this hunt in 2014 so here's to half a decade of celebrating world culture and travel. This hunt has 4 paths with prizes themed for Africa, Asia, Australia, Antarctica, S America, Europe and N America. Where will you go?

Dates: March 20 - April 20, 2021

54 Stops - Our hunts are arranged in paths of  around 15 stores each and hunters have let us know they love being able to do the hunt in smaller chunks. We are doing things a bit differently this year. We will be following our usual format of paths filled with like prizes (home & garden, Female Only, M/F/U) instead of by continent. Each store will select a continent by which to theme their prize.

Start Location: The last hunt prize in each path will contain a landmark for the gateway. You can grab a teleport to another path from there! Just click one of the teleports. 

Help Group is Kastle & Co Treasure Hunters and you can touch any sign for an invite.

Cost: Each prize is 3L. That money goes directly to the merchant to help offset some of their costs. It takes 3+ hunters to recoup the cost of a single upload, so no one's making money off you. It just helps a bit. THANK YOU.
