Challenge #2 - Riddle Hunt
[October 7]

Welcome to the Fall Fiesta Riddle Hunt! Decipher the riddle below to discover the location of the next riddle! Riddles will lead to even more riddles that will eventually reach the last page. Each riddle is describing a location where the next riddle can be found, and that location can be anywhere on the Forum or the main site. Keep track of the locations and post in your "Final Answers" topic once you have found all the locations and the final page! I will update here how far each team is so everybody knows how everyone is doing.

Create a topic in your team board and discuss there. Share ideas and thoughts on the riddle, and try to narrow down the location. Interact and cooperate with your group for better results!

1st Riddle


Back in the land of green,
Where things were the simplest,
The image is where it's at.




Point Breakdown

October 7, not September 30.

I'm willing to bet the riddles will get harder as you get closer.

And that's why Search Function was removed and I was removed from Admin on the main site. Temporary, of course.

 

[SuperZambezi]

Let me clarify that each riddle leads to a location somewhere on the website that has the next riddle. You have all week to reach the end. And now for the current standings:

The Spiritual Fungi Kong Koopalings

2nd Riddle

Super Princess Mushroom Dino Force

2nd Riddle

Saxobone Guys Board

1st Riddle

TheChaoticCriminalYoshis~

2nd Riddle

I will be going in and giving daily hints to each of the teams. You only get one hint per day and it will be on the riddle you are currently on.

Let me clarify that each riddle leads to a location somewhere on the website that has the next riddle.

If I knew that, I'd probably be further by now... maybe... well, the hint does help.

Hmm.. thought I made that clear in the description. If not, I hope everyone understands now!

 

[SuperZambezi]

Three teams move on! Another round of hints are coming, and if you are still on the same riddle, you will get a new hint for that riddle.

EDIT: It has come to my attention that there is indeed a misspelling in the second riddle. It should read "desserts" and not "deserts".

[Vipsoccermaster]

I'm assuming today is the last day to finish it off, right? Because Sunday, October 14, 2012 marks a new week.

Depends. I'll get the next challenge going regardless, but we can continue going with this one until everyone gets to the end. Let me know what you guys want.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

That means my administrative powers on the website is going to be held off a little longer. Unless you know I found all the riddles and answers on the website.
