Hello all, my first post here even though ive been registered for a few days now. And this thread got my attention and thought I would post. Anyway i have played in a few online scavanger hunts over at the
http://www.evga.com forums. Before the 6800 series was out, evga would host these weekly scavanger hunts. It worked like this.
#1 You sign up your name and enter the database or something and you had 10 questions to answer correctly.
#2 You could only search the evga site as all the hints were in the evga site.
#3 You were given a hint, a starting point. For example, find the gold ribbon articles
#4 You would then search the evga site for the articles and archives to find gold ribbons. (By the way, the gold ribbon search words were disabled in the search engine hehe)
#5 Thenyou would read the article and find the answer, for one of the ten questions
#6 You then go back to #2 and search again for info.
It was a lot of fun, and i did eventually win a prize, it was a game, FarCry. Needles to say others got drawn to win gaming systems, graphics cards, motherboards, etc etc.
