The Torch Guiding Light Hunt locations, hints and more

Today we open the gates for the first annual Torch Guiding Light Hunt, a hunt to help all newcomers to navigate Second Life, to find good places to hang out, shop, roleplay and more. This hunt is designed to take you through everything SL has to offer.

Some of these things require you to be “adult verified” due to it’s explicit nature. This is a part of Second life so we didn’t want to keep it away from you and pretend it isn’t there, but if you are uner 18 years old, or don’t want to see such materials, it’s fine to skip those places.

If you want to do an age verification you will need to go to the Second Life webpage, log in and click on Age Verification. There you need to verify that you are an adult.

Hints and locations: (If it’s marked adult, you need to be adult verified)

Welcome in, drop us a note.

2: Isle of Dee

Find the cross and stand in the Fairy Ring ( mushrooms)
Turn right and walk straight on
By the wall turn left, approach the wheel of fortune and slap it once

DOnt waste yoru time with the free game you find in the vase….
but oh there is a bucket… look around if someone lost it?

So that you won’t cause distress

The Renaissance Hunt – So Far

Fashion Writer Look Stoop and I went on the new Renaissance Hunt, and got a lot of awesome stuff. Let’s get the review bit of the hunt out-of-the-way.  It was not to hard and not to easy, the right kind of difficulty for a Second Life Hunt. The hunt clues were very clever in some destinations and others seemed as if they didn’t even bother trying to make or hide the hunt gift. There was a maze, which was once again the right amount of difficulty, not too easy not too hard. It was mostly the destinations that intrigued us more than the prizes. The different Renaissance and Medieval themed places amazed us, and peaked my already developed interest in the Medieval culture of Second Life.  Worth doing for the destinations, some gifts are good, others not so great.

For more information on the Renaissance hunt, check out their blog and the hunt will be going on until the 31 December 2011 so get in it while you can!

Kawaii Hunt – The Best Bits

It has been a while since I’ve done a hunt and I was very happy to start with the Kawaii Hunt, a hunt that was inspired by all things nice, sweet and tender with a strong sense of Japanese anime culture. Running from November 21 – December 21, this hunt sparked my interested with its Strawberry themed hunt object and innocent outfits. I liked the Kawaii hunt because it is a great contrast to the Hunt Culture’s Sex sells and Twisted/Depraved norms. That and I found everything just adorable:

#51 (Outfit) Bonne Channel: Vintage Flower

 

#50 Sweet Kuki: *SK* Alma Dress

 

The Kawaii Hunt is still going on, so hurry if you want to get these amazing outfits for free. For more information don’t forget to visit The Kawaii blog. Don’t forget to join the ~ Love SL Hunts  ~ Group (copy and paste in Second Life):   secondlife:///app/group/541b2654-0741-d395-2a63-a7e9752d5ce8/about

I DO Love Finding Random Hunt Gifts

Since Steam has been doing these hunt item introductions I thought I’d give it a go. Up late at night, after drinking A LOT of coffee and with nothing to do, I decided to go walking around a few of my very favourite Second Life Stores. Although I don’t have any Lindens to spend, ( I know right? Shocker!). I find it a little bit therapeutic to do some virtual window shopping. The idea of doing a hunt didn’t come to me until I spotted the …. sexist looking hunt gift ever.
