Twisted Virgins, Beware.

There’s a reason the Twisted Hunt earned the title of ‘Hardest Hunt in SL’ – and we mean to live up to that title again this time around. We promise you 31 days of green-box hating, obscenity-shouting, desk-kicking, brain-melting fun – a bunch of other people commiserating and shouting obscenities right alongside you – and some of the best prizes some of the most Twisted designers on the grid can wrack their brains to come up with.

We think most Twisted Survivors (and yes, you DO earn the title ’survivor’ when you complete the hunt) would agree that this is no place for the faint of heart… but, we also think they’d agree it’s about the most fun you can have in SL with your pants on.

And, to help you know what to expect, here’s a little insider info:

Prepare to HUNT.
The boxes are hidden, and they are small. We’ve renamed random prims in the store the exact same thing as the hunt item, so the prize finder HUDs don’t work. We move the hunt boxes around, so hints change all the time and the hint pages people try to publish are useless in a matter of days. This is a game of hide and seek – and you will definitely be seeking. It’s won’t be easy. But we WILL be stuffing those boxes with as many awesome prizes as we can make between now and then… and some of us will add little side-games with more evil hunty fun with more prizes than just the main hunt prize. But as for thinking you won’t have to work to find the hunt items – you have been warned. :)

Hints – NOT published.
There’s a reason hints aren’t published on the website – and why we ask anyone who endeavors to collect and publish all the hints anywhere else include a disclaimer at the top. We move the boxes a LOT. So the hints change a lot. No blogger is going to keep up with keeping them all published when they’re changing daily, and we wouldn’t have time to either. This is why the hints are shared in Twisted Hunt chat. You can often score a hint from a fellow hunter – but more than that, the Twisted Assistants – amazing creatures that they are – keep a running list of the current hints in chat. And they record it when a merchant sends out a new one… or a hunter reports a new one… you’ll have to see it to believe it, but trust us… it’s totally the way to go. ;)

You don’t HAVE to be in the group.
All the SLurls will be published to the website, in order. You can get to the starting point without the group, find the box without the group, and go on to the next store. If you get stuck on a store, you can come here and get the SLurl for the next store. You could do the whole hunt without ever chatting up the Twisted Citizens. We recommend you DO join the group – because that’s half the fun. Best friends have met on this hunt. People who are married have met on this hunt. That generally all happens in hunt chat – and these are a seriously fun bunch of people. But – if you can’t stand the idea… you still have everything you need to do the hunt without it. You don’t need hints. ;)

Prepare to get to know your fellow freaks.
The merchants and hunters are all in the same group for this hunt (in fact – many who help with the hints all month long are merchants). The hunt chat usually starts rolling a day or two before the hunt starts – and stops again in April. People who finish the hunt stick around and help others – with hints, or hard finds. You can meet some very awesome people, and find many fun things to do.

We go all out.
This is no simple store-to-store hunt. Some locations will have little hunts within hunts. Some will have evil puzzles. The merchants work very hard to make this as much fun as they can. So plan to do more than show up, find box, go on to next store. This will work your brain in more ways than one. We tend to go just as all out with the prizes, too. All the merchants? No – but enough to make it totally worth it. ;)

We play rough.
We LOVE the Twisted Citizens, and for the most part it’s like one big deliciously dysfunctional family. Occasionally, the party is crashed by trolls and cheaters. Cheaters should prepare for public ridicule – and trolls should are typically eaten alive. We’re here to have fun – and people who come to ruin the party are rarely well received.

Not scared off yet?
Awesome. We’ve published some hunting help here for you – check it out.
