Festive Nights
IRL Scavenger Hunt


Last night, the sun set on the final day. It was cold. And it was dark. Some spent it huddled with others, sharing in warmth. Others spent it alone. It is easy this way, to think that it will always be dark.

But the sun also rises on that very first day.

They stir, stretching, shaking the snow off their hulking body. In the trees, critters are chattering as they too wake from their longest night. Birds call out and listen for their responses. Hatchlings the world over laugh as they pounce on snowpiles.

Hawthorne opens their eyes, blinking away the sleep slowly. Already, glitters of interest catch their attention. Bits and bobs and treasure troves of tiny, precious memories. The smell of friendship is in the air. Hawthorne means to find it.

Will you help them?

F.A.Q.


-Are the tops of foreheads allowed? What if the picture is of something on my head?
I'd say so long as identifying features are edited out or not visible you're good! so like- top of the forehead, above the eyebrow line shouldn't be an issue.

-Are fake task items allowed? Example being a task is 'Pumpkin' and you have a plastic and a ceramic jack-o-lantern. Will that fly?
Yep! The name of the game is being creative. If you can provide a decent argument for why your submission fits the task, I'll take it.

-Can pictures have spirits and wines and associated beverages?
This one's a little iffy. If it's a beverage of a 21+ variety in the USA, you should be fine- just dont, like, make it obvious. Don't take pictures that make it obvious you're in an adult institution if that's applicable? I tried reaching out to FR regarding images of Spirits and Wines and didn't hear back, so just use your best judgement for this! Just be PG13 with it I suppose.

-What if we think our image might be triggering (has spiders, item that is known to be triggering, etc;)
If you're worried an image you're submitting has a common trigger or anything like that, you can link to that image specifically! Or provide a heads up on the top of your post.

-My nametag got ruined!
It's okay! Make a new one and use that. If it's drastically different from the first, include both versions in your nametag submission, but otherwise it's nothing to worry about!

-Where do the funds go?
This hunt is a bit different from my usuals. Typically the hunts I run are associated with Dom events for my flight, Lightning. Ergo the funds go there. This hunt is different in that it's purely one I'm running as a way to bring the comunity together and have fun! Especially since I know this time of year is a festive one, but can also be a bit of a hard time for some folks too. I wanted to provide something to focus on for everyone if the holidays or time of year aren't their cup of cheese if that makes sense. ANYWAYS.

As such, funds go directly to me and those who helped make this event happen. I will split funds at the end of the event 50/50 between myself and Deviation, who has been monumental in making this happen. They can do with their funds what they desire c:

With my funds, I will use it to pay any remaining amounts I need to the wonderful artists who made the badges and banners for this event. If there's enough, I will donate a hefty portion to different FR causes in the spirit of giving :v Namely Old Oaks tbh.

"Thank you," Hawthorne says, bending down to meet your gaze. They speak slow and thoughtful. "I've slept quite a long time. And I don't remember where my Friendship-Memories are kept. You, too, smell like friendship."

You ask them what smells like friendship to them.

"Good things. For new year and new age and happy laughter. Things that keep you warm. Things that make you smile."

You ask them what shape friendship takes. Hawthorne tilts their head, a pile of snow sloughing off. They seem not to notice.

-Bonus Task 2 : Holiday Icons
These are very *very* specific to the individual holidays and their originating religions. If you don't live near an area with a high population of participants of that belief system, it might be harder to find these. Ergo- putting them as bonus tasks :)

Each individual item is it's own bonus task! I just have them grouped here for convenience sake.

-Menorah
-An Angel
-Unity Cup
-Kinara
-Kings Cake
-Luminaria

Bonus Task 3 : (Western) New Years Shenanigans

-Champaign! (Or Sparkling Cider, Something with the Same Vibe!)
-'Time Ball' - Anything big, shiny, resembles a disco ball or the ball in NY Times Square!

Bonus Task 4: Winter Symbols
-Pomegranate!

I wouldn't have been able to get it up and running without them. They also provided the lore bits to this hunt, all writing for Hawthorne is theirs and it really is a cornerstone in making this Hunt feel as festive and exciting as it is tbh. Thank you to @KitKitKat for their work on the badges, they did tremendously and took the vague prompts I gave them and made truly amazing pieces of art. And @finniigan who created not only the beautiful banner up top on this thread but also the dragon Hawthorne, who is now very near and dear to my heart haha. Thank you to @AzureDiamond51 for allowing me to use their nametag from a previous hunt as an example piece for this hunt. Other images in this thread not previously mentioned are public use clipart.
