The 2026 Halloween Treasure Hunt will be on Halloween, Saturday the 31st!
Timeline:
-Teaser posts right now like this one.
-Friday afternoon/evening the game announcement post will go up detailing rules, general locations, and times so people can plan.
-Saturday is when three different groups of hide locations will be announced a few hours apart. We have 39 magic wands this Hunt. Each wand will have an individual post with picture clues and important information on that location.
Advice:
-Follow and turn on all our notifications
-Be kind or be blocked
-Read the rules and follow them. Two reasons. First they keep the game smooth, fair, and able to be continued in the future. Second is they can be considered clues as to where the item is hidden.
-Look through our timeline at past hunts. There are hundreds of them. You can see how the games unfolds and get clues to how we tend to hide things.
-Save posts to your phone in case coverage drops
-These are the toughest hides yet so be prepared for it to be difficult. We have all the clues needed to help as the hours pass. We really do mean difficult. Often all you can see or feel is the very end of the wands or the string it is tied to.
-Respect every location you hunt in. They are all public spaces, but if we litter, harm the plants or are otherwise disrespectful it could shut these hunts down entirely. We don't hide anything in a way that requires destruction so that is a waste of your time.
-LM hunts- Limited Mobility hunts are designed to even the playing field for those with limited mobility, including the use of many assisted mobility devices. I will detail site specific information on these hunts if relevant. You will need a search stick to poke and prod around, or even a grabber arm. Weather may worsen terrain after I was there, like mud.
Where:
-Three in Del Norte (2 LM)
-Two in Northern Humboldt (1 LM)
-Three Above Mad River (McK to Lagoons)
-Four along the Trinity (1LM, 1 EA)
-Four on the lower Eel (1LM, 1 EA)
-Four in So Hum (1 LM, 1 EA)
-And a whole bunch around the bay (8LM, 3 EA)
I will try to make a post with "hunting runs" to help with planning, time permitting.
Good luck wizards-to-be!
