This is a game inspired by 3Three3's haiku scavanger hunt. It's a game for people who want to play photo tag, but don't have a camera.
A riddle should take ingenuity to figure out. Ingenuity is something we all have :grin:
carefully.
Please be very specific about where the lock is located. If the riddle needs to be solved to figure out where the lock is, consider including some additional details. Example: "Once you're at the intersection that the riddle leads to, the lock will be on the orange fence next to the restaurant."
Please place the lock in a location where it won't get cut. Don't make your riddle so hard that it's going to take more than a few days to figure out :x
The longer the lock is in the same spot, the more likely it'll get cut by someone thinking it's abandoned.
Keep the lock in Minneapolis please.
After you have solved a puzzle and removed the lock, please let us know as soon as possible :D
It's not much fun looking for a lock that isn't there. :x
Tell us how you figured out the puzzle! But put the answer in "invisible text" so that it wont be spoiled for people who still want to solve the puzzle.
I will start by posting a puzzle/riddle/clue that will lead you to a location in Minneapolis. There, you can find a combination lock covered with MBL stickers and spiraled white tape. Once you find it, you can put it in another location and come up with a puzzle of your own. Kapeesh?
Rule #1) Be creative and have fun!
Rule #2) There are no other rules.
Suggestion #1) Everybody should be able to solve each puzzle/clue/riddle with -at the most- a pen/cil, some scratch paper and a map. This game isn't about who knows the highest level math. I think it should be about creativity. And FUN!
Suggestion #2) Ride your bike.
Suggestion #3) Keep the lock in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Suggestion #4) Once you've solved a puzzle and have the lock, say so as soon as you can. But don't feel pressured to come up with a new puzzle right away. Take your time, show off the lock to your friends (I know I have), eat, sleep and work if you have to. Hopefully, any hecklers will wait at least 8 hours.
Suggestion #5) Also, post the answer in "invisible text" with your new puzzle. That way, it won't be spoiled accidentaly for the people who want to figure it out.
