So six plus years in Second Life and I only recently discovered the pleasures of hunts.
In the last two months since doing the
Room 326 hunt by Madpea and being blown away by how addictive and immersive a well designed hunt could be I've done the Madpea follow up hunt
Love Potion #9 with a friend, burning through it on the first night and started the
'Tie Me Up' hunt, the
'Jack and Jill' hunt and I'm planning to do the
Tainted Love hunt and it doesn't look like I will run out of enthusiasm for them soon.
Second Life hunts involve searching areas for hunt items. In most of them you are led from store to store where you follow hints to discover the specific hunt's symbol item hidden somewhere in the sim you are in. The majority of hunts are for specific items in each hint object. The Madpea hunts require you to find all the items and complete a HUD you pay 50 lindens for at which point after a cool little story sequence and final puzzle you are delivered all the hunt items at once.
If you enjoy the challenge of puzzles and searches you can wander about following hints and camming until you find the objects. If all you care about are the prizes most but not all hunt items can be found with the Area Search tool in your viewer.
There are some useful resources for the budding or experienced hunter, the website

The Cookie Jar seems to have the poster for every hunt imaginable on its walls.
