Hello Community,

The OnePlus User Festival is running in full swing and I'm here with a carnival both that should give you some RPs to get cool stuff on 23.12!

Intrigued? Well, then please read the rest of the thread carefully, it might seem like a lot but is very important for you to bag the points. This Scavenger Hunt is probably the most complex game hosted on the forums, hence why I will leave out no detail, to ensure you understand the rules correctly.

How to Play?
To be able to go through all the clues and reach the end of the scavenger hunt you must play this on your browser. If you’re using the Community app, please visit forums.oneplus.com on your browser instead to continue playing.

At the end of this thread, you will find a clue, which will lead you to the next target thread. It can be a photo, quote, or a riddle. Read the clue carefully and feel free to use the search function to its max potential in order to ensure you reach the next thread as fast as you can. I know many people do not like to use search, but this time it is important, and without it reaching the goal can prove to be an even bigger challenge. So please use search.

Once you crack the code and reach the next thread you have to look for another clue planted in that thread. If you find the “Clue” you can be sure that you have solved the previous riddle correctly and that thread is indeed the right one

The first and also the most important step, once you've found the clue, DO NOT post in that thread. We closed most of them temporarily, but some are still open and we want to avoid bumping these threads with things from the game. You are free to like them if you haven't already.

Then. it’s time to click the Google Form link to register your progress and have access to the next clue which will lead you to the next target thread. This process will repeat itself until you've reached the last thread, the thread in which we have hidden a riddle! Along the way, we'll provide you with clues to solve that riddle. Fill in the info and that's it! You've finished the game, sit back and relax for the results to be announced

Standard Terms and Conditions apply.

P.S.: Clues will only be planted in the first post of every thread. So you do not have to search in thread comments.

If you ever become stuck in any of the clues, keep an eye on this thread. We’ll share some hints here to help you get moving.

Rewards:
If you're still reading, Congratulations! You've reached the most exciting part of the thread. The prizes, yes! So what are they going to be?

Here's good news! You get RP at every stage of this game, so even if you can't make it to the last thread don't worry, you still are getting RP!

• There are 15 clues. For every clue found, you get 5 RP.
• If you find and all clues your rewards are doubled!
• Finally, if you find all clues and you solve the question in the last thread (using riddles from the various Google forms), you will obtain a link which will help you reach the last Google form, where you have to enter your username. If you manage to do that correctly you get an additional 100 RP for a total of 250 RP!

Do's and Don'ts:

• Please use search! The search function is your best friend in this contest. There are no limits to how many times you can use it, so make the most of it.
• To make it fair for everyone, and prevent bumping of old threads, DO NOT reply to any thread where clues have been planted.
• As long as this game is running, and the results haven't been announced, you're not allowed to post clues or spoilers in the open forums or this thread. Users found indulging in such activities will be immediately disqualified and warned in accordance with forum rules. Also, standard terms and conditions apply.

If you have any doubt or would like more clarity, please feel free to ask your questions below or tag me. However, I will not give any hints or additional clues outside this thread so do not waste your time in sending me a PM.


CLUE #1: What better place to start, than where it all began. If you want to find the next clue, visit the first thread ever.

//UPDATE 21.12.20//

Final Call!!

Hey all,

Over the past week, y'all have surprised me with your skills! Solving the clues faster than I anticipated, you make it look very easy. Congratulations! If you've made it this far, you're a true scavenger.

I've really enjoyed making this fun little game, and the response makes it all worth it. Finally, we are now approaching the end. To ensure all winners get the RPs before the raffle exchange this game will close and all Google forms will stop accepting responses at 3:00 PM HKT// 12:30 IST// 8:00AM CET today. You have about an hour before it closes. Hurry now!

Tip for final hint: arrange the clues in the order you found them and fill in the link in lower case.

I hope you had fun playing this game. All answers with relevant links wil be updated after the game ends. Massive shoutout to @dsmonteiro and @Leo X. for all the help.

Cheers!
