IT BEGINS!

As of midnight SLT, on the first of September, the Twisted Hunt burst into full swing.

From the rafters.

Without straight jackets, spotters, or safety nets.

Over a pit of poison tipped spikes.

Filled with acid spitting tarantulas.

You still haven't had your first cup of coffee.

And you're staring at the sky, wishing for death....or really good booze.

That, my dears, is the Twisted Hunt.

It's coined as the hardest hunt in SL for a reason. That reason being, not only is it huge, but those boxes are really small and frustrating. Not to mention the merchants involved can get pretty sick about hiding these funny little nightmares. They also take great pleasure in moving them quite often. Daily, sometimes a couple times an hour. I hear rumor of a box that moves itself every ten minuets or so. I've not encountered this yet, so I'm praying it's not true.

Now, keeping taking tiny, moving puzzle boxes in mind, there's also people who have taken to running around dressed as a box! Or a series of boxes! Or have poofers of boxes!

Oh, and have I mentioned the decoy boxes yet?

That's right, not every box you find will have the prize in it. Most will sit there with their boxness and laugh at your misery and frustration while guarding the secret whereabouts of its prize holding friend.

The boxes plot.

I swear they do.

Or the merchants are still really sick.

Either way, it's a hell of a lot of fun.

Do it yourself, a group of friends is better, but it's still fun, and I've seen some amazing places.

Now get on it!

This time the box is orange.

Test...

This is only a test...

To make sure I set the damned thing up right before the madness sets in.
