Scavenger Hunt Contest, Week #1

$13 Steem + 2 SBI in Prizes

For this Scavenger Hunt I will list 10 different things for you to search for. All you have to do is find an active post anytime within its first 7 days that includes the things listed for the Scavenger Hunt. You will take each of these posts and create your own post linking to each item that you found. You will earn points for each item successfully found, as well as have chances for bonus points.

Our goal for this contest is to have you discover some posts and authors that you might not have otherwise come across, and share their posts with all of your followers for them to discover as well. While it is NOT required, I would encourage you to upvote and maybe even resteem some of the posts you come across while finding the things on the list.

OFFICIAL RULES:

  1. You must copy and paste the list of 10 requested Scavenger Hunt items into your own post that mentions the @c-squared / @c-cubed Scavenger Hunt in the post title in some way.

  2. YOU MUST TAG/MENTION @randomwanderings IN YOUR POST.
    I will get a notification for each one which will assure I see your post, and see them in the order they are posted.

  3. Add a link to your entry post in the comments section of this post.

  4. Under each requested item in the Scavenger Hunt list you will share a link to the post where you found the item.

  5. YOU CANNOT USE YOUR OWN POSTS! You will not receive points for any of your own posts.

  6. Include the tags - c-squared and scavengerhunt on your posts.

SCORING:

2 Points for each Scavenger Hunt Item you successfully link to. (20 Possible Points)

1 BONUS point if you were the first person to link to that specific post for that item. (10 Possible Bonus Points)

5 BONUS points if you get ALL 10 Scavenger Hunt items completed. (5 Possible Bonus Points)

3 BONUS points for finding the BONUS ITEM. (3 Possible Bonus Points)

1 BONUS point if 5 or more of your linked posts are unique. (Meaning you were first to use that post as your answer for that item.) (1 Possible Bonus Point)

Total Possible Points: 39

PRIZES:

First Place (highest score) - $10 Steem
Second Place - $3 Steem
Random Prize - Two entrants chosen at random will receive 1 SBI (Steem Basic Income)

Note: First and second place winners are not eligible for the random prizes.

COMPLICATED TIE-BREAKER EXPLANATION

  1. If 2 - 5 people are tied for first place they will split the combined First and Second places prizes. So they would each get an equal portion of the $10 Steem.

  2. If more than 5 people are tied for first the names of all those tied will be put into a list and I will use Random.org to randomly put the list in order. Number 1 on the list will get the First Prize of $10 Steem. The remaining names that were tied will split the Second Place prize of $3 Steem equally.

  3. If just one person is in First Place, but there is a tie for Second Place - First place will get the $10 Steem prize, and all those tied for Second Place will split the $3 Steem equally.

THE SCAVENGER HUNT

You can find any active post (at any point in its first 7 days) that mentions the item required, has a photo that includes the item required, or is some sort of artwork including the item required. It may sound like I am asking for a bunch of images. I am NOT. These things CAN be images, but could also be mentioned in someone's post in some way.

Example #1: For #2 you could share a post where the author talks about always choosing the Warrior when he played Gauntlet, or that he owned the 45 RPM record of Pac-Man Fever by Buckner & Garcia. Or you could just share a post with a photo of Mario.

Example #2: For #4 you could share a post with a photo of a cannon, or of celebrity Nick Cannon.

  1. Find a Santa hat.

  2. Find a 1980's video game character.

  3. Find a set of wings that are NOT on a bird. ( A single wing will also qualify.)

  4. Find a cannon.

  5. Find a potato. (In any form.)

  6. Find a vampire.

  7. Find a fire.

  8. Find a robot.

  9. Find a famous building.

  10. Find a poisonous creature.

BONUS ITEM worth 3 Points: Find a fictional story that mentions at least two (2) of the above items in the list.

Please have fun with this! Discover great new content. Maybe dress up your post with photos and some comments about the posts you found. Make your posts entertaining.

You have until this post closes to get your entries in. Make sure you remember to tag/mention @randomwanderings in your post so I get a notification.

While not required - Please feel free to upvote this post, and I strongly encourage you resteem this post to help spread the word as much as possible.

I think this idea is incredible. At first it seems a bit complicated, but the chain of interaction that it can provide is excellent!

Let me see if I understood the challenge completely, @c-cubed: What I have to do is...

  1. Look for posts that are within the limit of the 7 days that contain the required items.

  2. With each item found, it's advisable that I give resteem them.

  3. Finally, should I put all of them together in a new post that I should write myself?

Is it all correct?

Hi @wiseagent,

I will respond numbered as well to be clear which one I am responding to.

  1. Yes, ANY post on Steem that is within the normal 7 day period that posts are open. Since this post started today and will end in 7 days it can be any post open from now until then. So if on the 7th day a new post is posted, it can be used. If a post today is on its 7th day, it can be used. So there should be a wide range of posts to choose from.

  2. As for resteeming of the posts - it is not mandatory. My thinking is that you went out and found an interesting post that contains the item wanted, perhaps it is good enough for you to resteem and help other people discover a new author they have never seen before.

  3. Yes, you will have to write your own new post with links to the posts you find with the items wanted. You decide if you just want to share the links, or if you want to go the extra step and maybe write a little bit about the post or author and also be sure to include the link. It would be a sort of way to showcase all the posts and authors you find for others to check out.

Keep in mind you can submit your post even if you don't find ALL the items, but the higher your score, the better your chances of winning.

As you realized, our overall goal is not just to have a contest and give out prizes, but with this setup we think it could lead to entrants discovering some great content and authors and help other people also discover them.

Let me know if you have any other questions, and good luck!

Thanks,
Gene

Sounds super fun!!!
