My good friend Ona Ra, owner of the Cheshire and Jabberwocky sims and the creative genius behind “Jabberwocky Sculpt Collection” decided to have a nice, easy treasure hunt on her sim to celebrate St Patricks Day.

Items are hidden in Shamrocks like these

The prizes which are all donated by tenants on her mall sim are hidden within shamrocks (see picture) and placed in the stores (or stalls) of those taking part on the Cheshire sim. There are some fantastic stores taking part in this including:

• Jabberwocky
• Cheshire Photography
• Tea & Strychnine
• Indie Rose
• Secrets of Gaia
• Dark Sim Designs
• Follow the Rabbit
• Steambound
• Paws 4 Thought (of course)
• Fluffernutters

This is a fairly small hunt as you can see from the list above – which may appeal to some of the newer hunters and there will be something for everyone in the prizes I am sure. The hunt will be running from today (March 10th) through till St Patricks Day (17th March) so don’t leave it too long to go hunting.

My contribution to this hunt is a set of special “luck of the Irish” tails (which will only otherwise be availble as a group gift that will be sent for St Paddy’s day). There are two designs, in there a skinny and a fluffy tail, both with two attach points.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting

Some of you may remember that last year I participated in the original Dark Katz Hunt on Secondlife, making an exclusive cat gym especially for the hunt. Well I am pleased to announce that the hunts organiser Lolla Denimore has invited me to particpate in the second installment of that very successful treasure hunt.

I am very flattered to be invited back, and will be making another exclusive item for this hunt – the item will not be released as part of my normal ranges so if you want it you will have to join the hunt. At this time I am still forming ideas for this extra special prize and will announce details of it nearer the time along with the details of the treasure hunt itself.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with gridwide treasure hunts, I would highly recommend them as they are a fantastic way to get some really good items from designers that you may not have previously known and make  some very good friends along the way as the groups set up for these hunts are normally full of fun loving people more then willing to give you a nudge in the right direction.

More details of the hunt will come later, so be sure to check back to find out more.

Attention: This hunt ran from 1st – 30th Nov 09 and has now ended, please see the event page for information on any new hunts Paws 4 Thought is involved with.

Exclusive CKH prize

Paws 4 Thought has once again donated prizes to another treasure hunt. Following the success of the previous hunts I have participated in, I have signed up for the 2nd “Curious Kittys” Hunt. This hunt proved highly popular when it last ran back in July of this year. Like “Hybrid” and “Dark Katz”, this is a grid-wide treasure hunt designed for the Neko of Secondlife, but to be honest, it doesn’t matter if you are Human, Neko, Furry, partially or fully a mouse/dog/fox or other animal, you will still have great fun and get some fabulous prizes.

It is because of the enjoyment I had when I took part in the original “Curious Kitties” Treasure hunt, that I am so keen to be involved with more treasure hunts. So far I have participated in 2 gridwide hunts, and the smaller (but just as fun) “Jabberwocky 30 Question Halloweenie Hunt“.

I  have made lots of good friends who all helped each other out to find the more difficult prizes, and I  have won some truly wonderful prizes thanks to the kindness of the store owners and designers that took part. Infact, I had such a good time I have become completely addicted to treasure hunts and am determined to be involved with as many as possible.

Look for this poster to join in

For this hunt, I have designed a very special exclusive prize – a winter edition, one of my Paws 4 Thought SnowCats (I have several of these ready for sale, but this one is only available for the hunters).  Also in the prize paw is a 75L$ gift voucher that can be redeemed against any Paws 4 Thought product in-world. 

To get involved with the hunt, simply look for the poster (pictured left) inworld at any of the Paws 4 Thought stores (including the Main Store, Gift Store, or our brand new Megastore), this will give you a landmark to take you to the start of the hunt, then once you find the paw, simply touch them and you will then recieve a folder holding your prize(s) and the landmark to the next location.

It is also a good idea to join the hunt group inworld to give you somewhere to go to discuss the hunt, and ask for hints and help from other hunters as well as the designers themselves.

Good luck and happy hunting =^.^=

Attention:This hunt ran from 15th - 31st Oct 09 and has now ended, please see the event page for information on any new hunts Paws 4 Thought is involved with.

This treasure hunt is on a far smaller scale then the others I have been involved with, but just as much fun and has a wonderful little twist.

Organised by my friend Ona Ra of Jabberwocky, the hunt is taking place on her new sim of Cheshire to help promote both it and the wide range of venders in her floating mall area (including Paws 4 Thought), she has asked for the venders to donate a prize for the pumpkins which have been hidden all over her sim.

There is the chance to get some really great prizes and is a nice little introduction to treasure hunting if it isn’t something you have been involved with before as it is not as big as some of the gridwide ones.

But that is by no means the “hook” for this hunt – the twist in this tale is the 10,000 linden doller cash prize she is offering. All you have to do to qualify is to touch one of the signs she has dotted around the sim to get your game card. (see picture left)

The game card holds 30 questions which if you  answer correctly and return to Ona, means you are in with a chance for that huge linden prize.

The beauty of this hunt is it is effectivelly 2 hunts in one. If you do the basic hunt with the 12 pumpkins, you will get some wonderful prizes, or you could try for the big one too – either way you are a winner.

The hunt is already on, so what are you waiting for, there are pumpkins out there waiting for you to find them!

Attention:This hunt ran from Sept 2oth – Oct 20th 09 and has now ended, please see the event page for information on any new hunts Paws 4 Thought is involved with.

I am pleased to announce that Paws 4 Thought has donated prizes to yet another treasure hunt. Following the success of the “The Hybrid Hunt” in Aug 09, I have signed up for the “Dark Katz Hunt”. This hunt is even bigger then the “Hybrid Hunt” with over 170 designers involved. Like “Hybrid”, “Dark Katz” is a grid-wide treasure hunt designed for the “Non-human” of Secondlife, so it doesn’t matter if you are Neko, Furry, partially or fully a mouse/dog/fox or other animal, this is the hunt for you – especially if you love the darker things in life.

It is because of the enjoyment I had when I took part in another grid-wide treasure hunt, the “Curious Kitties” Treasure hunt, that I am so keen to be involved with more treasure hunts

I made lots of good friends who all helped each other out to find the more difficult prizes, and I won some truly wonderful prizes thanks to the kindness of other store owners. Infact, I had such a good time I have become completely addicted to treasure hunts and am determined to be involved with as many as possible.

For this hunt, I have designed a very special exclusive prize. It is a posed “Gothic Cat Paw Cat Gym” but instead of all those ugly pose balls, I have finally got to grips with a “no poseball” sitting system. The poses are hidden throughout the gym and are all unisex. See the above picture to get an idea. Also in the prize Kat is a 75L$ gift voucher that can be redeemed against any Paws 4 Thought product in-world. 

To get involved with the hunt, simply look for the poster (pictured left) inworld at any of the Paws 4 Thought stores (including the Main Store, Gift Store, or our Showroom Store), this will give you a landmark to take you to the start of the hunt, then once you find the Katz, simply touch them and you will then recieve a folder holding your prize(s) and the landmark to the next location.

The poster also offers you the chance to join the “Dark Katz Hunt” group inworld to give you somewhere to go to discuss the hunt, and ask for hints and help from other hunters as well as the designers themselves.

If you contact me in-world, then I will give you a “Dark Katz Hunters” gift that I made Exclusively for memebers of the “Dark Katz Hunt” group, which has a cute little friend to keep you company on your hunting travels. To get more information and clues visit the Official Dark Katz Hunt Blog.

Good luck and happy hunting =^.^=
