Hi! I was thinking of a game, a big treasure hunt. The prize would be a merit. There would be rounds, and if you succeed you get a clue to the other round. It all happens in the internet, but mainly in AG. What do you thinK? I mean, I want it to be something really big, so I need your ideas.

Hmm, I haven't given out much details there have I?
I was thinking like, we have different rounds and you do some stuff to find it, when you reach the end, you will have a merit.
FOr example, this might be a clue for Round 1:

I jump, I run, I crawl
I speak
On the other side, the answers are given.
GO and see, what I have said.

(Then the next clue would be a comment in the game "The Other Side&quot

I mean, this is just one, we could also have lots of other things, Please help, this is good, I'm pretty sure this is, If we can pull it off.

I dont see the point of giving out a merit for that. If merits are given out for things like that then they will be worthless because you didnt earn it, you just guesses it right.

No, it is going to be hard, the player will have to do something, think, act. I mean I want it to become a big game.

African Animals ect. Just change topic and Area. Another example major exports of Australia, coal and uraniam. That should be easy to mix up and you have a large area of topics to choose from.

1. ok the clues are too easy.
2. You need permission from mods or admin to have merit for the winner of your game
3. I think you need a lot more organization and some "beta" testing before having a merit for the contest..

The reward should be a minimerit (5 points not 25 but they would have to create it first)
Interesting idea....

it should be more tricky, like you mix level names together and thats the answer so the name for level 3 in some game mixed with level 8 of another and you have to think of the name if you mixed them together.
it could be just one type of mini-merit mini-game...

I like the idea. As long as its not too easy it should be fun.

There wouldn't be any way to do this without certain people having certain time advantages over others. Every competitor will not be online at the same time, which gives the people who just happen to be online at the time a humongous advantage. That would not be fair to the other users.

Okay, okay, people got What I meant yahoo!

1. ok the clues are too easy.

It was just an example. I need it to be easy so people that will test it will just get the idea and play it.
2. You need permission from mods or admin to have merit for the winner of your game

I'm aware of that XD
3. I think you need a lot more organization and some "beta" testing before having a merit for the contest..

That is why I made the thread.

I was actually getting to this. Nice, that someone opened it up. We will have diff. game times, for example 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM Now at least every half of the world will play. I also think this would be better as an annual event.

too bad my "message" in the game was considered as spam.

Very good idea.

I would definently do this.

An example is to make all the messages in binary etc or random numbers.

Example of clue:

For the first one to read this your clue is near, but for that to happen you must hear.

When you look once you will not see a thing but when you find the exit you must find a name.

It is the last one there, but not the easiest to get, there must be an exit, but the path is not easy to get.

The clue would be in binary and would refer to the game exitpath. The person would finish exitpath and look at whoever is last on the beta testers. They would then go to that profile where the next clue would be hidden.

Yeah, that was good Leo.

I see this is getting somewhere. I hope though that AG would allow us to do such a thing.
