Ok so it's time for a scavenger hunt folks! There are 5 boxes, all colored coded, with signs on the dock with the corresponding color, once you complete a full set of clues (you'll end up with a 4 digit pin #) you can go and unlock that colored box and claim your rewards! To get started: Show up anytime after 6PM EST on Hostility's dock, (38, 62 GPS). That is all you need to get started! You don't have to do these in any order, there are 5 different prizes, the white will be finished first (i'm assuming) but everyone will need to complete the white puzzle to receive the rewards. Each 'color' set of clues will give you a idea on the PIN number to unlock the big box (and little box!) along with a hint/clue to the next step! For Example: "I said this was starting at *FOUR* PM EST originally. Now every one is going to show up early at Hostility's dock~!" Four would be the first number in the pin for that colored box/pen, and Hostility's Dock would be the location of the next clue. (It won't be THAT easy lol) but you get the idea. I recommend doing all the of puzzles even if the prizes have been claimed, it's fun and it might help you on the next event White: Flier Required, short. Green: Parachutes Recommended. Fliers are going to be required and very helpful, if you don't have a flier any low lvl one will work, sometimes fliers won't be helpful and other means of transportation will be much more beneficial. I can't stop people from claiming more than one prize, but if you do happen to win one, maybe team up with someone else and help them find one and you can share! Good Luck and Happy Hunting! P.S. I won't be on until later tonight as I have prior commitments but I will be able to answer steam chat (albeit slowly) if any questions/concerns arise. I hope everyone enjoys this!

This is so AWESOME! Not sure if I can make it, BUT first thing that popped in my head was: Can we bring dinos? Like is this a search a certain island area? Or base area? AND can we use flyers? Cause that seems too easy.. maybe... IDK really

i believe the signs on the dock will point to clues about locations on the island, which you'll have to go to to see another billboard that will have a pin combo on it.

Close, I recruited some help and well things went a bit farther, but yes you will definitely need dinos, fliers, land dinos, rafts, or whatever else you want/think will help definitely bring. This might take a little while to actually complete (there's 5 awards). Some will be easy and possibly finished quite easily, some...not so much.... lol A hint, if part of one of the puzzles is still true (i'll have to verify) you might even want to do part of it naked with no gear. You'll have to go all 'Dew' on that step.

It's started! You can start at any time I'll find bonus prizes for those who come up with the correct pins even if the main prize is gone (no cheating )

So, did this already start/happen? found a clue and it made me come here, but as I was continuing to look the server message about it starting at 6pm came up I was like "Oh dear, I done goofed"

Had an absolute blast (for the tenth time). I highly suggest people go out and enjoy it, if for nothing else, the experience and the stories accompanying the clues are great!. and if there's prizes left to still claim, that's just icing on the cake. If/when the hunt ends, I saved a screenshot of the best reward (at least for me) at the end of one of the stories, and would love to share it for the people that can't find the time. Many thanks to the people that helped set this up.
