Rare Game Giveaway Scavenger Hunt

[jjgames]

I'm going to be giving away some rare games worth about $10,000, one of which is my Nintendo World Championships Gray cartridge. The contest is going to start August 26th, but in the mean time I am giving away 30 free entries to the first person to finish a scavenger hunt I created.

Good luck

If your not any good at scavenger hunts don't worry, there will be other free ways to enter when the contest launches.

Someone just solved the scavenger hunt. The next 50 people get 1 entry each so you can keep trying.

[TonyTheTiger]

That's pretty cool.

I think I got it. PM sent.

[portnoyd]

How exactly can you afford to just give away $10k worth of games?

Edit: Entry sent. Why the hell not?

[Kiddo]

Dang. Was just a bit slow on the Scavenger Hunt. Well, hopefully I'll get at least one entry.

[jjgames]

How exactly can you afford to just give away $10k worth of games?

I'm giving away the games to celebrate my 100,000th order on my website. So it is a "Thank you" in part.

I am hoping for some publicity for the giveaway too. One way to enter when it starts is to make a purchase so I might sell some more stuff as well.

[portnoyd]

100,000th order

Well, that answers the question on how you could afford the gold. Yikes.

I have 3 out of the 5 prizes... don't let that bias you to, uh, letting me win. :P

[Jorpho]

Cool hunt. Are we, um, supposed to PM answers to you, or is it supposed to be much more obvious?

[ZiLL]

You'll know what to do once you reach the end! :)

The final page of the scavenger hunt will tell you how to let me know you found the right page. If you don't see clear instructions, you haven't found the final page yet.

Ok i am lost so if I know what the answer is so I look here for the next clue what do i do

OUCH! WHAT DO YOU DO?

[Mobius]

Yay, got it! That was fun. :)

[Ed Oscuro]

I'm lost, but apparently that's due to the scavenger hunt being done. There's just a clue up right now.

[adam_devry]

Like do we look for the answers on jjgames.com or digital press or do we have to search the whole web

[Gameguy]

I won't spoil it, but it's not done. The clues are tricky, but if you solve them you'll make it to a final page(I just did it myself). I just wanted to say that so you wouldn't give up yet as there are other entries available(unless all 50 are claimed). One of them is really tricky.

Thanks for the scavenger hunt!! :)

[sisko]

I think I am in.

[InsaneDavid]

Very nicely done, glad I learned something other than the norm years ago. :)

[Ed Oscuro]

Aha, got it.

[Jorpho]

Acht! Insidious! Almost beats the DP Xmas contest. I love it.

[Solertia]

I'm stuck at halfway. I mean, I "found" the clue, but there could be so many answers, and even if I find the answer, idk what to do with it...

[TonyTheTiger]

Ok, finally solved it. Believe it or not, I originally found a page that I don't think I was supposed to find. JJGames was like "No, that's not the answer...but how did you find that?"

[Dangerboy]

I am so confused on the [insert spoiler page] about the great weekend.

Other clue? Line of Gibberish...I'm a sad panda. :(

[aclbandit]

I did it! And even if I didn't win a chance to win... that was fun!

Challenging, and some super-fun clues.

[Ed Oscuro]

The third clue is the one that doesn't make any sense to me. Looks like a game reference but I've no clue what it could be.

[Zelos]

I know the answer to the 'source'-thingy, but I cant fill it in. Every combination Ive tried doesnt work...I dont understand it, because Im 100% sure ive got the answer right.

[ChronoTriggaFoo]

Currently stuck at the "halfway" point myself. Literally pulling my hairs out.

[swlovinist]

My thinking cap is not on, but I will try when the contest begins.

[Dangerboy]

God damn it, I got the entry.

The reason I was confused is because my last name is the freaking clue #3. Thought it was some sort of name based clue. :P~~~

*SIGH*

: )

[Baloo]

EDit: NVM, got it and the second clue.

This is going to be fun!

[Pezcore343]

Damn I'm stuck on the 3rd or 4th, already forget which number. I found the "answer" but I guess I need to translate it or something?

[Baloo]

I'm stuck on 3 too, it's a toughie.

[Pezcore343]

I'm stuck on 3 too, it's a toughie.

I don't even understand what I'm supposed to be doing with this gibberish.

[Baloo]

I don't even understand what I'm supposed to be doing with this gibberish.

What gibberish? I'm on the "Where did it go?" one.

[Pezcore343]

Yeah I know. I guess you didn't get to the second part of that one. I just finished that one and now I'm really stuck on the next one.

[Flack]

Got it -- good show!

[Ed Oscuro]

Got it too. Once I got past the speedbump at "Clue" #3 it was pretty smooth sailin'.

[DeputyMoniker]

Grr @ scavenger hunts. I never know where to begin. I saw the "30..." hint...but have no idea where to go from there.

[Jehusephat]

Yay! I finally finished it. The one that stumped me the longest was the second to last one with the graphic. I thought it was some kind of game reference or something.

[Zelos]

Yeah I know. I guess you didn't get to the second part of that one. I just finished that one and now I'm really stuck on the next one.

How? I know the answer, but nothing I fill in seems to work...

[portnoyd]

The reason I was confused is because my last name is the freaking clue #3. Thought it was some sort of name based clue. :P~~~

This was quite fun.

[jjgames]

THE SCAVENGER HUNT IS NOW CLOSED. You can try again for fun if you want but all 50 free entries have been given away.

The real contest will start August 26th and everyone can enter up to 5 times. I'll be posting the full details on the site later today for those who didn't complete the scavenger hunt.

I will be sending emails to everyone who did get an entry in time to confirm it. And I will email those that didn't to let them know too.

[TonyTheTiger]

I'll be posting the full details on the site later today.

Is that what I accidentally found? That's what got me at first. The scavenger hunt was a quest to find the details of the contest and I think I stumbled upon the actual details rather than the contest winning details.

[rbudrick]

Completed in about 1/2 an hour. It was no notpron, but great nonetheless. Great idea, JJ!

[Doc Recca]

God! The third one (or if it counts as the fourth one...?) has me by its feet!

I'm not having a super weekend.

I'm not having a super weekend.

Would people want me to post the answers somewhere so those who give up can at least see what the answers were? I know these kinds of things drive me crazy when I never find the answer.

I posted the answers here (http://giveaway.jjgames.com/2009/07/scavenger-hunt-answers.html) for anyone who is curious.

[swlovinist]

Thank you for sharing this information :)
