I find your lack of clues, puzzles, races, and challenges disturbing. Fortunately, there's no need to choke anyone! Because we can fix your problem at warp 9 with this cross-Toronto treasure hunt for teams of 2-6 adult players. Noon. July 3, 2010. And remember: in space, no one can hear the other teams scream (when you win).

Registration is open, and spaces are limited, so sign up today to avoid disappointment!

Google Me This is a comic-book-themed treasure hunt in which you will have to follow a trail of puzzles across the Internet - as well as across your home town as you zip out to find the real-life objects you need to follow along! Be the first to decode the Googler's secret message and win a $100 Amazon.ca gift certificate!

Dear wannabe Dark Frights and Boy Blunders,

It is I, your nefarious nemesis, the Googler! You know, that masked mastermind who can't help leaving a set of web-based hints revealing his next dastardly deed? Well, I've got another evil scheme in the works - and, boy, is this one going to be a doozy. I've planted my super-special Googler-Wiggly-Hands-Device at an inhabited location somewhere on Earth. When it goes off, millions will be tickled... to DEATH! Mwa hahahahahaha!

What's that? You want to know what location so you can stop me? Not to worry, I've written down my plan for you, and I'll post it right here the Friday before the hunt.

Whoops! I forgot to tell you that I put the message in code - actually, in codeS. After I coded the message the first time, I coded that coded message in a second code, and then coded the double-coded message in a third code, and - well, you get the idea.

But not to worry - if you just follow my clues through cyberspace, you should be able to discover the codes I've used. If you run out and find the objects I used to do it, you can decode my message one layer at a time. I just hope you can manage it before the timer on my device reaches zero...

Yours in criminal insanity,
the Googler

DATE: Saturday, May 30 and Sunday, May 31, 2009
PLACE: in front of your computer and all around your home town
TIME: first clue will be posted at noon on the Saturday;
entries will be accepted until 11:59pm on Sunday;

COST PER TEAM: $6/player
TEAM SIZE: 1-8
PRIZE:$100 Amazon.ca gift certificate
NOTE: You will need some form of PDF reader and an Internet-enabled computer to play this hunt. Hints from Pieces of Nine will not be available BUT teams will be able to trade information or otherwise negotiate online.

I, Spy TORONTO: Saturday, September 20, 2008 [Aug. 1st, 2008|02:02 pm]

I Spy is a secret-agent-themed treasure hunt in which you will have to follow a trail of hints and puzzles across downtown Toronto to figure out the important information you need to stop the evil scheme of your organization's nasty enemies. Complete your mission before all the other teams to win the prize!

ATTENTION ALL AGENTS! The Society for Pivotal International Efforts of Secrecy (or S.P.I.E.S) has captured Agent X from the Vicious, Ill-Looking, Licentious, and Awful Institution that Never Yields (or V.I.L.L.A.I.N.Y.). We know Agent X has a partner located somewhere in downtown Toronto. We also know that Agent X's mission was to deliver a particular item to this partner as part of a secret code. Depending on what item the partner receives, V.I.L.L.A.I.N.Y. will either go forward with its latest nefarious scheme or abandon the project entirely.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find and identify this operative, greet him or her using the secret V.I.L.L.A.I.N.Y. password, and present him or her with the secret item signifying "abandon mission". The only help S.P.I.E.S. can give you is the clue-filled set of items we confiscated from Agent X. Hopefully, these will put you on the right track. The civilized world as we know it is at stake! Good luck!

DATE: Saturday, September 20, 2008
PLACE: starting location in Queen's Park, downtown Toronto
TIME: 1pm - 6pm
COST PER TEAM: $30
TEAM SIZE: 2-3 (including team captain)

Egad, old chums, Professor Moriarty has stolen a private letter from among the papers of Her Majesty Queen Victoria! Were its contents to become public, the results could bring the British Empire to its knees!

HRH has engaged the services of Mr. Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street, but the case is too dire for even the world's foremost consulting detective: he needs your assistance! For Britannia!

All are welcome! )
