    Default Rare Game Giveaway Scavenger Hunt

    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

    giveaway.jjgames.com

    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.

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

    Edit: Entry sent. Why the hell not?

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

    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.

    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

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

    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.

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

    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!!

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

    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...
