  • Clues for Game 2, Week 4

    I guess last week was pretty easy — most of you got all of the clues right off!  I think this week might be slightly more challenging.  This is the 4th week, you know, so we’re in the home stretch.  Couple of historically significant objects/places to find this week….

    Please send comments along with your picture, especially if the object to be found looks somehow generic. If at all possible, make sure the picture contains just the object specified with enough of its environment to be recognizable.

    The first couple of weeks’ clues are on the google map (above or link to the right for full version), and we’ll get last week’s up as soon as possible.

    Like last week, there are 5 objects to find: 4 from the HaiClues below, and a 5th “reverse” hunt item pictured. Send your entries before next Monday at 5 pm , when the next set of clues will be announced.

    Behind picket fence
    Beneath these centuries last
    It took a village

    Center of burger love
    Used to be here, no longer

    These floats have high hopes

    Unwilling workers

  • Clues for Game 2, Week 3

    Looks like we stumped a few of you this week — keep in mind the clues were as precise as we know how to make them, and nearly every word has relevance. It’s kind of like a logic puzzle — the right answer has to match all the available evidence.

    Please send comments along with your picture, especially if the object to be found looks somehow generic. If at all possible, make sure the picture contains just the object specified with enough of its environment to be recognizable.

    We’ll get the first couple of weeks’ answers up on the map soon – check the front page of the site or the Google map itself.

    Like last week, there are 5 objects to find: 4 from the HaiClues below, and a 5th “reverse” hunt item pictured. Send your entries before next Monday at 5 pm , when the next set of clues will be announced.

    1: 1 point

    A gift near others
    Silent now, but remembers
    A few foggy fjords

    2: 2 points

    Film and food are split
    Traffic joins them under this,
    A hump most useless

    3: 3 points

    To read, socialize
    Gone now, but not forgotten
    The Nun burned brightly
    (1 extra point each for other locations, past and present)

    4: 4 points

    He was watching you
    Week one, you eager beavers
    That ain’t no reindeer

    Well, well! We had some rather industrious scavengers out there—that or the clues were too easy, hmm? Well, we hope this week was as fun as the last. We guarantee you haven’t seen some of these objects….

    We especially appreciate it when you are in the pictures you send — just tell us if you have some aversion to ending up on our photos page, and we’ll pixelate you.

    If you are only now learning of the game, join in please! This is the second of four weeks, and with the scoring system we’re using this game, you aren’t out of the running yet!
