[CLOSED] The Halloween Hunt Starts Now!

Posted 1 year, 8 months ago by iinkt

Welcome to this year’s Halloween Hunt! We are very excited for this event, and we hope you are too!

HOW IT WORKS
Throughout the Toyhouse World, and anything Shrimpshifter related, there are hidden candies that can be claimed for a prize! These candies can essentially be hidden anywhere that has a text box. There are a total of 30 candies, and they look a bit like this:

Once you find a candy, click on it, and you will be directed to a character link that has the prize listed on it. If you would like to claim the prize, head over to this Google Form and fill it out according to the instructions (it's the same Google Form in the character page). You must fill out this form each time you find a candy, so that we have accurate timestamps. Your email will not be recorded.

The Google Form will ask for your Treasury Account Number. While your Treasury Account number is optional, you won’t be able to claim Remnants or Scales without it. If you don’t have an account yet and would like one, please go to the Account Creation thread! Please do not worry if it takes a while for your account to be made, Jay is taking a short hiatus.

The game will end when all candies have been claimed their maximum amount of times, or on October 31, whichever comes first. Our current cap is subject to change, depending on how many members participate, but for now, Common candies are capped at 50, Uncommon at 20, Rare at 10, Legendary at 5, and Mythic at 2.

While Remnants and Scales are cumulative, MYOs upgrade as you find them. So, if you find an Uncommon MYO, and then find a Rare MYO, you will just receive a Rare MYO. You can get up to four MYOs: a Common Spooky MYO, an Uncommon or higher Spooky MYO, a Deep Sea MYO, and a Regular MYO. There is actually a fifth type in the Mythic candies, if you can find them!

RULES
We really want this scavenger hunt to go smoothly, and we only have one rule that is necessary:

DO NOT share candy locations with anyone, for any reason. This defeats the purpose of the game and can ruin the fun for others.

Breaking this rule will have you banned from future scavenger hunt events.

GOOD LUCK!
I hope you all have fun! Think creatively and scour cleverly, because there are some really tricky places we’ve hidden the rarer candies in.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask below! :)

When either all of the candies are found their maximum amount of times, or on Oct 31, whichever comes first ^^

On average, the Common ones need around 20 more each to be full, and there are 1-5ish left on each of the remaining rarer ones (Rare, Legendary, and Mythic). I haven't been able to count some of the Uncommon ones until the rarer candies are full, but they're looking at about 5-10 claims each to be full ^^

I imagine it'll stay open one or two more days, and if activity is really dead I'll go ahead and close it, but I do have a forum thread I have been bumping that has gotten some people to join :)

Most likely, yes!

i have a question, will u tell us when u see our forms and see when people claimed it?

Yep! I will release everyone’s prizes after everything has been found.

No need! The description is mainly there so that I can verify comments that have misspelled codes ^^

i kid you not i saw one and i got so happy then realized it got its maximum claims. :'D gj to the people who found it.

awww no :'D

aaa i joined the hunt and submitted a candy before, but i forgot to ask what would happen if we dont have treasury accounts or smth??

If you don't have a Treasury Account then you won't be able to get Scales or Remnants! But as long as you have a pending request you should be fine.

aaa ok! :00

i was doing this earlier and now i’m back and completely forgot what i’d found earlier, apologies if i repeat :sob: this is vv fun though!

No worries! It is very easy on my end to spot repeats :) I am so glad you are having fun! :D

awww, that makes me so happy! I am so so glad you are having fun :)

Don't worry about keeping track, it is really easy for me to filter things out on my end ^^

This user is not visible to guests.

Yes, please join the World first, and then you can get right to hunting! We are always welcome to new members :)

Please also make an account in the Treasury (linked above) if you plan to search for Remnants or Scales! Remnants are explained in some of our bulletins (and namely the Ancient Trait Set), and Scales are the in-world currency. If not, no worries! There's an option for n/a on the form.

if you decide to change the cap, will the already closed candies be reopened and stay in the same spot? coz i found a mythic candy but it was closed😩😩

Aww, I'm sorry! The only candy I have closed so far has been that one mythic one, since it has been found five times--I don't think I'll expand mythic candies past that, though. I may expand the rare and legendary ones; I'm currently looking over the times that candies have been found but it's pretty tedious lol. So far Common ones are only at half their stated capacity so I will probably make that decision as the weekend comes to a close ^^

ahh i get it, thank you for letting me know!

woof i found a lot, they were super well hidden tho!! i think i should stop to eat dinner lmao

aw dang i never found the mythic tho aghh

You sure have! Great job! :0 Please get some food haha

Yep! As well as who earned what, that way you know which prizes you earned.

This user is not visible to guests.

One is a Deep Sea MYO, and the other is a Spooky x Deep Sea MYO ^^

I tried clicking the example candies haha XD

Hehe, I definitely thought about maybe making one of them a candy

This user is not visible to guests.

You filled it out correctly! You can't submit the form without including a code, so no worries!

ahh this is so fun i love this event :"D im running out of ideas of where to look, really gettin my brain going this fine saturday evening

I'm so glad you're having fun! Scavenger hunt events have always been my favourite ^^

i think i got at least one in every color? nothing can stop unbridled determination haha

very fun event though!! that purple one was very clever
i think from this point on i’ll just passively look for anymore :]

also very sorry if i listed any twice!

Hehe yes! No worries if you have, it is very easy to sort through them on my end :)

that’s good to hear ^^ can’t wait to see what’s to come!

This user is not visible to guests.

Yes hehe!! I am quite proud of where I hid them, if I do say so myself :)c

This user is not visible to guests.

I'm honestly incredibly surprised people have been finding it! Great job!

candy masterlist :000000

can't see it though

Yeah, there's a weird glitch in world forums and bulletins where you can see hidden pages.. I suppose I should report that as a bug

yeah i can only see the option when i'm on the bulletin but the link doesn't work

i feel like i found a good portion but no clue where the mythics are

They are incredibly difficult to find! So hopefully the event will last a little longer haha

woo!!

This user is not visible to guests.

Ohh yes hehe!! I think I hid some of them pretty well ;)

Since location is a part of the form, if you got a code wrong I should be able to tell what you meant to type ^^

You are #011, it looks like! It just hasn't been updated to your new username (Closedcaptions-) yet.

If this is a Halloween username change, make sure you type your typical username in the space provided on the form!

This user is not visible to guests.

Ok, well, I'll update your current account with your new username ^^

This user is not visible to guests.

Yes please, that would be excellent!

woo!! ive been having fun finding them :D

if i end up posting a repeat form im so sorry lol my memory sucks for which candies i did and didnt find

just tell me if i did!!! i suck at this

Yay!! You've found quite a few :0

And no worries at all! It is very easy on my end to sort through responses, so it isn't an issue :)

ok great!! and yeah, I've been digging deep :P

i'll try my best to avoid repeating but it is inevitable with my scatterbrain 🤷‍♂️

Should be fixed, so sorry about that!
