'Big Kahuna' Scavenger Hunt


About

Scavenger hunts are contests to see who can find the most maps in a list of categories. To participate, you simply submit maps as normal, then select the scavenger hunt category you are submitting to. Once a moderator approves your map, you automatically get points for that category.

The user with the most points at the end of the hunt wins!

Past Hunt: 'Big Kahuna' Scavenger Hunt

Riding off of the success of the previous mini-Hunt, we're holding another scavenger hunt: the Big Kahuna.

Prizes are as follows:
  • 1st place - $50
  • 2nd place - $35
  • 3rd place - $15
There are 100 points total spread among the 3 difficultly levels. If there are ties at the end of the 3 week hunt, we will have a face-off hunt to determine the winner.

Items marked (MI) require a More Info link for confirmation.

Best of luck, contestants!

This hunt runs from 2007-05-19 14:00:00 until 2007-06-09 14:00:00 (PST timezone).
