trophy hunt

Each of the winners would find themselves approached by a particularly active squirrel the evening after the end of the scavenger hunt, flagging them down and delivering an invitation. The gathering would happen Saturday, midday, in the woods. When they reached the clearing, they'd find a...

Even with how cryptic some other clues had been, this one was maybe the most frustrating. It took Morgan only a minute or so to realize what the initials of the names had spelled out, but trying to figure out what he was actually supposed to take was a nightmare. So, upon reaching his...

For the most part, Morgan had this one down, but there was a lot of room to potentially mess it up. So, to cover all bases, he'd brought an entire cooler full of mini water bottles, all ice cold. With his newfound speed, two laps were over in the blink of an eye, and even though he wasn't at all...

Out of all the clues so far, this one was absolutely the biggest stretch. He'd wracked his brain over what it could possibly be, the tool part in particular stumping him, but eventually he opted to just go out on a limb with the fruit/boot combo. So, making his way to the cheapest Italian...

Riley ran into La Bussola, out of breath, still in her uniform after school. She didn't have much time left. It all clicked when she was thinking about it in her Geography class, and she started looking at a map of Italy. It looked like a boot! And that button Jude was wearing was a compass...

Another easy clue under his belt. Morgan headed off to Oceania Park with his eyes peeled for any particularly striking flowers. It ended up being a tough call between a snap dragon and a tiger lily, but eventually he went with the former, plucking just one of them and sticking it in a small vase...

Though he had missed a couple, Morgan was starting to get more confident about his guesses overall. The library was the obvious solution for a place to find a book, but the specific one he was supposed to find was a little less simple. If not for the rule about reference materials, he would have...

Alma knew what was up the second that the names on the list where stacked the way that they were. It was so simple that she decided to leave it for after some of the other clues that she was struggling with more. So after she was done with a few of the ones that were running out of time sooner...

This one was probably too easy, but Alma wasn't going to complain if she was right. A tool to help you find your way was definitely a compass. The boot part had confused her until she had stopped by to see Angelo at work. And then it all fell into place, but she had taken a couple of hours to...

This one had caused Alma some serious anciety at first. She thought that it was the space station, because of course she did. Voyages beyond the sky couldn't be much else, could it. But she didn't know what the three monarchs could mean. Until she had started researching the space station, as...

Why did it have to be running? Alma was many things, and while supernaturally fast was one of them, athletic was not. And she felt like it would have been cheating to actually use her speed. So ten minutes later later, huffing with the extended exertion of running twice around the track, Alma...

This one seemed simple enough at first, but upon finding his way to the old classes it took basically no time at all for Morgan to start second guessing himself. Money seemed like the obvious answer, a penny specifically, but that didn't really make any sense to him in the context of where the...

Luckily for him, the answer to this clue had rather literally planted itself right in front of Morgan's face. On the way over to the cattle farm where he'd been feeding lately, he'd passed a more industrially conventional one about a mile short of it, with loads of the grotesque Waanal milling...

Riley recognized some of the names on that list. Shale, who might have saved her life. Pandora, one of Dalia's moms. And Angelo... All of them had been to the hospital. And as it turned out, the first initial of each of those names spelled out "HOSPITAL." So, presumably, she had to go to the...

This was a joke right? It had to be some kind of joke. The most recent clue Riley got was a list of names of people he barely knew except for one. "Pandora." That kinda rubbed him the wrong way and just left him confuse as heck on what or where he was supposed to go. After a sometime he reread...

Monday let out a loud laugh when he saw the clue. He knew what it was right away. He was quite used to seeing pieces (old books mainly) come in using the secret code that began with the letter of each line. Taking a taxi, not in the mood to dodge any more puddles that afternoon, he made his way...

The clue was quite obvious thankfully. But as with a few previous clues, Monday had had to ask permission to enter school and its grounds. Finding the track without any problems, Monday jogged around it twice and then stopped and took out from his jacket a bottle of unopened water...

Riley had just finished her gymnastics class, so she was already exhausted. But she had to do it. The location, Riley could wrap her head around. A strange man-made circle made for running "a destination-less jaunt" on. There weren't a lot of places that fit that description, but the running...

Riley was absolutely exhausted. She had to hike through the woods and up the mountain for this one. That was the only place where the snow still fell, as far as she knew, and it was certainly "upmost in elevation." Her foster parents made her go with one of the werewolf kids a few doors down...

What in the crap was a "Krap ainaeco?" Riley spent like half an hour trying to look it up before giving up; it wasn't a thing. But she knew it had to be something alive, or something with living stuff in it. She had to sit on the riddle for a while, and when it finally came to her, she slapped...
