Ok, spoiler below for the one I was frustrated with:





moonlit room to find coal..........of course Fireworks Room - click like a maniac in the trees from middle to bottom on the left side of the firework sign - at some point you'll get lucky like me and the box will pop open for next clue

OK I am quoting myself here just to make the point that all of these hunts and quests have caused me to officially go over the edge!  :crazy4: :crazy3: I totally read flamingo and even said flamingo out loud to King, yet in my mind I pictured those topiary ostriches.

Don't mind me.... Oh look, here come the men in the little white coats... :waveh:

All of the items in this hunt are tiny and most very difficult to find! Nice challenge, but tomorrow, my eye doctor is getting a call..... :rofl1:

Gingerbread in first outback! Holy cow! took me 15 minutes to find him! I ate his legs, so, you all may have more difficulties!

Hi white coat ppl! :tongue3:

It took me over a half hour to complete this one!  This one was a challenge for sure!  Not only in finding the items but to find the exact location as well!  Wow!   :heat:

OK, the fireworks lobby is mayhem!  :heat: :sos: I am in single user mode now and it is so much more relaxing.  :tan:

By the way, what is up with the gingerbread man? I am guessing he wants to keep his identity anonymous?

ROFL Wendy!  I was thinking of "they're coming to take me away" while reading your post...then at the end you mentioned the white coats!   :roflmao: :rofl1:

Reminds me of a favorite quote from a favorite movie of mine...the Pink Panther (I use it as my sig sometimes. lol):

"I'm fine. I am perfect.
Every day, and in every way,
I'm getting better...and better.
Somewhere over the rainbow..."

Flamanar...every day...in every way...I'm getting better...and better!... :jester: :crazy4:

ROFL!  :rofl1:   :rofl1:   Gingerbread Man was normal size when I ran the Hunt.  Like itty bitty!  But, Pix just said up there somewhere ^^^  That Vintage magnified him.  So that's probably why.  oh my, too funny!   :laugh2:   Totally need these laughs tonight, after this Hunt!   :2thunbs:

ROFL.  They apparently zoomed WAY in on him so people could see him...which made him look like that.  Otherwise, the cookie would be so small in the outback that you'd have to use a magnifying glass to find him.  Looks like a fuzzy fish cookie... Silly VFK... :lolp:

BTW:  that coal at fireworks lobby is easier to see if you crank up the brightness on your monitor ;)

Yes, "they're coming to take me away" was playing in my mind also.  :lolg:

I also see that the gingerbread man is looking like this for everyone. King thought maybe he was just an unclothed cookie and that is why he was all "pixeled" out.

I have to say, all of these bugs do make for some great laughter!  :rofl1:

So, you are saying it must have been someone from here?  :lolg: OK, who escaped from this looney bin to become secret VFK staff?  :rofl1:

I have to say, I like the challenge of these hunts as they become more difficult. Of course, I say that as I play in single user mode.  :notme:

well I have enjoyed the hunt today was just mean. Could they have put things any farther apart. And no I am not interested in visiting australia anytime soon. Was there enough tonight seeing the barren out back and a shack with no phone  :sur:

I feel bad for the kids that do not have fairy magic those poor feet will need second skin for their blister :)

Ok how many more days of this. All I could think about is are they running tests in the background while they have us go all over the place with above normal traffic.  :idea:

Blast it!  The fireworks room for the coal..

I not only brightened the monitor, but bumped the screen view up to 400%, and still could not see the coal.

DS, CheezeStudios, walks in and says, mom, it's right there and clicks it perfectly!!  (I want young eyes back.  At least for these scavenger hunts.)

5-31,  I believe.    :sur:


I never actually SAW the coal either, I just knew "whereabouts" it was.  I honestly was not about to play with my monitor.  It probably would have broke on me then, and then for sure I would have not been happy with VFK.   :boxing:
