This contest is getting on my nerves. Apparently, its supposed to be easy, and I keep getting clues, but I dont think they're in the right order. Darn!

Edit: Oh okay, I get it now. Done!

Nah! No hints.

Suffering builds character! Laughing

(Especially if you were unlucky enough to start it when all the pictures weren't loaded! I still managed to finished it after waiting for the rest of the pics! Laughing )


^^;; I'm actually not sure how you were able to do that. I didn't post the contest until after all the pictures were in place. Magic.

Great contest, the clues were a lot of fun. It was somewhat easy, but I could see where people would struggle if they aren't familiar with the titles, some of these titles are really going back. I will admit that I had a little trouble with the second clue, but only because I was a little too tired to be working with numbers. Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop

But the contest page is "broken", half of the page script is stuck in the mailing address field so there's no way to enter the contest (or get the first clue), wasn't that way this morning.

A PURE STROKE OF GENIUS!!!
When you do complete it (I obviously watch too much anime, I finished this in about 2 minutes!!), you see how everything falls into place. I won't give anything away, but I did think some of the clues would be quite difficult for the uninitiated...

One of the images (those who have completed it will know the one of which I speak), is permanently burned into my brain, and it's not an image I want to remember!!

One thing does concern me, however, what is to stop someone stumbling across the answer??

The last stop will have the Kakurenbo logo screaming across it, with more detailed instructions on what exactly to enter into the form. You'll definitely know if you've hit the last one.

Nothin'. If they somehow manage to stumble across that particular page in our multi-hundred-thousand page encylopedia, all the more power to them. ;p

I couldn't figure it out either. But there I was wondering around the site with a correct answer and no other picture loading so I could go on. It had a blank area of 5 slots followed by a pic and then blank area. I finished it after all the pics were up. It's prob a mote point now, but if you want to know where the problem area was, you can email me.

I guess I must be tired, it took me almost an hour to finish it.

Good workout for the brain, though.

I was a little lost there with that one bodybuilder/chippendale pic (which also burned my eyes)... but I figured it out eventually. Smile

What a great way to spend my evening, trying to finish the scavenger hunt... It was easy, once I figured out the whole theme ANN had going. You know, I think there are going to be a few people coming across the answer by accident. I'm not giving any hints out because it was easy(the beginging is easy and the end is as well, all you have to do is get past the middle). The hardest clue I was stuck on was the "Birdman". After that, everything was basically a breeze... Lol, I must have spent a hour (or more) trying to figure this out. Thanks ANN for a great contest. Who thinks they should do something like this again?
