* Scavenger Hunt Tasks

Postby Kyrit » 03/09/2013 5:34 PM

Okay. So, that's probably not very subtle. But yeah. It's been a little over a year since we ran a scavenger hunt on Evelon, and I think that over all things went well. Sure there were some bumps here and there, but people seemed to enjoy it. That said, obviously it'd be nice to be able to run one again. I won't go in to full detail and you guys won't know when the scav hunt will arrive, but I will say that there are going to be some changes in the set-up and pay-out, which will hopefully be for the better.

So, I'm asking you users, what sort of tasks would you like to see? I've already been putting together a list of things I'd like to see users do and there are probably some tasks that will return from last year, but since we all want this to be fun, what do you think would be fun to do? Do you like more art tasks? Writing tasks? Do you want to put those stats to use for a task?

I'd like more writing tasks myself, since that plays to my strengths.
Crossing my heart
Open wide
You're my crystal and clover
All of me
Honestly
Is dedicated to hold you

Swear to God
Double knot
What would you do if I stole you tonight? (Ahh ahh)
Why waste time? (Ahh ahh)

'Cause the world goes on without us
It doesn't matter what we do
All silhouettes with no regrets
When I'm melting into you
'Cause I belong in your arms
I belong in your arms

I'd like more writing tasks as well since Evelon is about writing RPs. o3o I also enjoyed the tasks that related to Evelon the most (as opposed to, say, that Rorschach one). Also, it would be nice to have tasks that really everyone can do so that no fancy equipment is required. I couldn't do last year's cloud task because I have no cellphone with a camera, for example. So yeah, more stuff that can be done with a computer alone would be nice.



I know my dreams are made of you
Of you and only for you
Your ocean pulls me under
Your voice tears me asunder
Love me before the last petal falls






However cold the wind and rain
I'll be there to ease your pain
However cruel the mirrors of sin
Remember beauty is found within

Some writing ones might be a good idea. Maybe not so many though, considering the current state of the forums, since there is not a lot of RP activity on it right now. However, some more constructive things I could say are, maybe do a mix of personal writing tasks and some RP tasks with other people. Maybe some themed ones like the recent RE2 event?

Art is always another one that comes up, and you only need a pen, pencil and camera (phone, webcam, or actual camera)/scanner for that at the bare minimum. Pets cosplaying either as other pets or something else is amusing. Drawing the body parts was another one I enjoyed. Maybe ears, wings or eyes would be a good idea.
Even ask people to design pet colourations or edits or something. :u Paint KS symbols onto a handful of stones, etc.

I also think craaafty things is another one? Cooking is something most people can do. Maybe cook something shaped as a pet. Carve a pet into food. Paint a pet onto bread with PB, Jam etc. Instead of photoshopping a pet, instead do a collage? :U  

I also enjoyed the puzzles. Crosswords, word searches, colour by numbers. That sort of thing.

I dunno. Wheee. Have some ideas. I'm sure they're not valid/good/easy enough to do, but it's a starting point?

Stare in the darkness
Are you scared? Are you free?
I can be fair or a monster
Tell me now, which one do you need?

I can feel teeth tear into me
Rip me to pieces, rock me to sleep
I can feel eyes staring at me
Getting uneasy, ready to feed
I can feel teeth

Oh oh XD I have a suggestion. We could do mad libs for each other. Find one of your own role plays or make one up, take specific words out of your story (Verbs, nouns, adj, ect), then exchange your fill in sheet with someone else. o3o I think it would be fun and amusing. The key thing would be to make sure you got the type of word your asking for right on your answer sheet. Or even maybe have one mad lib thing that everyone could do. XD personally I like the idea of having people make their own and then giving it to other people because that means more variety and it promotes interaction among people. Also kinda interested in what sort of silly tale ones pets could end up in XD.

Oh and I would like a good balance of things. Between writing and other creative work so that its not all heavily weighted towards those who write a lot and are good at it.
Last time I had fun with the cosplay pets the ones that were to be drawn like video game characters, as well as the foot challenge but I like drawing so yeah XD.

I really have nothing against drawing tasks, even though I suck at them and don't really enjoy them. However, crafty tasks are...meh. Right now I'm in hospital and can't cook or make stuff out of anything and even if I would be at home, I would have problems because I don't have an oven, for example. That's what I meant with things not everyone can do. I would really like to see more riddles instead. =/ If it's about crafty things, it should be something that really everyone can do. Like...making sock puppets or something. Or make an origami Evelon pet (because finding a piece of paper is something really everyone should be able to do).

I agree with you Sheiba, while I’m not against drawing or taking pictures or whatever else some people might not be able to do. It would be fairer if it were simple things. Though Origami might not be on that list xD… But whatever is put up in the end I’ll probably end up attempting it anyway  :shy: .

Re: * Scavenger Hunt Tasks

I think a blend of tasks is most interesting. Especially if the tasks that require more investment reap more reward. After all, with the first scav hunt, it was never intended that everyone do everything. It was always meant to be a "do what you can" sort of thing.

Anyway, my favorite tasks from the first scav hunt were the "activity book"-style ones--word searches, crosswords, connect the dots, coloring, etc. They reminded me of being a little kid again, coloring pages from a coloring book on a rainy day. :D Plus, they can all be done on the computer, so they require no outside materials and everyone can participate.

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!

While I understand that some creative tasks might be hard for some people, it is possible there will be some 'hard' ones on there. =) Like I said though, the way prizes are given out are going to be different. I don't expect people to be able to always do EVERY task. Scav hunts are about doing what you can do and enjoying it while you do it. If it's a task you can't do or won't enjoy, you just don't have to do it. I know that I certainly wasn't able to do all the tasks available during the first Scav.

But yeah, definitely I'll try to make sure that there's a good blend. That much is for sure since I know different people have different strengths. And some will even be... tailored to the time the scavenger hunt comes out.
