THE WHIZ - A Whizical Hunt

Hunt Locations and Hints

The Home & Garden Hunt is a blind hunt. That means you get the landmarks/locations of all the stores in the hunt and their hint, but you will not know which store you are going to.
This is a 10L$ hunt and all profit goes to Relay for Life.

You will find notecards with all the landmarks and hints on all the expo sims, close to the landing spots / teleport boards. Or you can use the list below.

Naughty Bunny Winners

Mumei Ninetails is the winner of the Whiz Naughty Bunny Quest - and a prize worth well over 70.000 L$. The vendors who donated to the quest prize will contact her directly.

Our untrickable random item spawning drawbox first rezzed a trophy that belonged to a person who had left the hunt group, so we had to delete that one and do it again. If you entered the WNBQ quest and left the hunt group before the draw.... Well, I think you might regret that now.

The Winner of the photo contest is Brande Twine with this picture:

Congratulations to both!

Prim Perfect Birthday Quest, It’s Fun to be Five

Welcome to our special Birthday Prim Perfect Quest, It’s Fun to be Five… starting right in the pages of the inworld edition of Prim Perfect magazine No.41 May 2012!

You'll find the first ten golden cupcakes hidden in the magazine ... and then you can start to hunt for the next twenty golden cupcakes around the grid!

How to find the golden cupcakes in the magazine
As you read through the inworld edition magazine, look for the GIFT tabs on the left and right pages. You’ll see that some of these are highlighted, meaning that you can collect a gift. It might be a gift from an advertiser in the magazine… or it might be one of the special Gold Cupcakes for the quest—you’ll have to click the GIFT tab and see!
If you haven't already subscribed to Prim Perfect, you can do so here.

How to find golden cupcakes on the grid
You'll start at the Prim Perfect Head Offices in Costa Rica - where five golden cupcakes are hidden

There are another five golden cupcakes hidden at the Designing Worlds/Happy Hunting studios in Garden of Dreams

And then you need to go to the Ten Places to Visit in Regents Estates - using the article in this month's magazine - it starts on Page 46.

One of the cupcakes is a little difficult to find (we think you'll find all the others!) so here is a SLURL to help you find the Death Valley one!
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/MotorWorld/178/229/22
Note that this cupcake is in the region next to Death Valley.

The Prize
The prize for the Quest is L$5,000 supplied by Prim Perfect and a fantastic gift package including a top-end motorbike – the MLCC Dragon AND a fun and unique ATV motorcycle and Jetski in one – the MLCC Predator, plus a free month’s rental of land in the lovely Regent Estates, a prize whose total value is over L$12,000!

How to Enter the Quest
When you have collected all 30 numbered Gold Cupcakes, you rez a prim and then drop all 30 gold Gold Cupcakes into it. Rename that prim PPIFTB5Q – <<your avatar name>> and then send it to Whiz Wonder.

Please note: You have to create the prim that you drop the Gold Cupcakes into yourself. Your name must show as creator of the prim.

Make sure all the 30 Gold Cupcakes are in the box. If one or more are missing, you will not be in the draw.

Everyone who sends in a prim with all 30 Gold Cupcakes in it will get a confirmation before the draw.

News of the Hunt
You’ll be able to learn more while the hunt is in progress from the Whiz blog - and the Prim Perfect blog

The Whiz blog has details of many of the fantastic prizes – and also helpful hints!

Please join the inworld group “The Whiz Hunts” for help and info. Let us know if you run into any problems on the way.
