Second Semi-Annual WiiNintendo Scavenger Hunt July 14, 2008
*End of day bump*
It’s time!
Hello, soon-to-be happy hunters! Hello to the soon-to-be unhappy ones too!
Some of you may remember last year’s Scavenger Hunt that I hosted here. Well, we are using pretty much the same system this time too. For those of your that don’t, I will reiterate them below.
Before we get too far though, let’s discuss the winnings. Yes, there WILL be a prize, donated by local awesome guy, Mickey DeLorenzo (Hey_Suburbia).
The winner gets his or her pick of one (and ONLY ONE) of the following:
WarioWare - Smooth Moves
RedSteel
Madden ‘07
Free Loader
Wii Fan Mod
Wii Component Cables
DS Case Mods
2000 Wii Points
If you want to know more, my email address is near the end of this article.
First off, you are looking for this image:
Kudos if you know what it means. Anyway, you will not be able to simply look up the URL because the URL for the REAL image is entirely different.
The Hunt for the image lasts from today till at least Friday.
How do you go about finding it? Here are the basics:
To start you off, I will give you the link to the first page at the end of this article. In that page, you will be given a clue to find the next article, which will also give you a clue. Clues may be very straightforward (such as “Go here”) or very subtle (such as Great Scott! How ever are you doing that?(italics are the clues here))
Clues will give you one of two things: A direct link to the next article, or keywords to type in the WiiNintendo search engine.
The direct link is pretty straightforward, but the keywords are where you need to look closely.
In the case of keywords:
- The clue will be within the FIRST FIVE PAGES of results.
- You may need to actually open an article (instead of reading it from the search) by clicking the “More” button to see the clue.
- Don’t forget to check image alts by holding the cursor over images! (FireFox users (and possibly other browsers) may have to right click pictures and click “properties” to see the alternate text. Sorry for the inconvenience!)
- You will NEVER be directed away from WiiNintendo, have to watch a video or read comments for a clue.
I will be adding clues daily. If you reach the dead end today (you will be told when you have), wait until I announce the addition of more clues tomorrow. This system allows readers that start a day or three later to catch up.
Now what am I forgetting? Oh, yeah. If you have questions or have solved the Hunt, email me with your solution at sirvenom ( a t t ) wiinintendo ( d o t t ) net. I will NOT give hints, but I will answer general questions.
Ok, let’s get started. Here is the first article.
Special thanks to Potatoman for the idea!
P.S.: Doing the hunt? Finished for the day? Leave your feedback here!
P.P.S.: Yes, I did just copy and paste the majority of the old article into this. I am so lazy

I’m really confused. I can’t find anything, and I hardly know what I’m looking for.
The first clue you are looking for is here:
http://wiinintendo.net/2008/06/23/the-official-wii-fit-experment-results/
You will have to read through the article for the clue. When you find the clue, put it in the search engine and look for the next one.
For more specific problems, email me:

Kay, I’ll give it another go.
Just got to the end of today. Not too hard, yet. It helps having picked up some strategy last time, which I shall not share.
Hmmm, I think you already shared it with me last time
Yep, it will still prove quite effective where needed
Ah, going through my message store… No, you didn’t share your strategy with me. I do have a feeling, though, that it is the same one that someone else has though
No, I think I might know that other person’s strategy, but I don’t do that. (Been tempted though, I think I even tried unsuccessfully last time.) I just speed my way through doing the *whole* thing. Sometimes. I didn’t make it to the end of the first hunt.
Gah, I’ll never find it.
Charmy, email me and tell me how far you are. I may be able to point you in the right direction (I don’t mean giving keywords or articles, just clearing up some confusion/misunderstandings from my poor instructions :P)
YES YES YES! I found it! WHOO HOOO
Great to hear!
Now I’m stuck again. It’s the clue where you say it will take a long time, so maybe I haven’t gotten to article yet. I’m still going though.
Actually, I just found the end right after posting that last comment!
[...] you have no idea what I am talking about? Go jump in a lake here! Share [...]
[...] P.S.: No clue what I am talking about? Go here! [...]
[...] Day 1 [...]
[...] Ok, I have waited… way too long to post this. I have been busy for the past two weeks, and it is a wonder that I had time to actually host the Scavenger Hunt. [...]
