Congratulations everyone on making it out of the Mountains unscathed! We hope you enjoyed working together in the most excruciating hunt yet with the difficulty ramped up quite a bit. You don't have to worry about these making it to the individual egg hunts. You all deserve a pat on the back for your great display of teamwork!
Many of you were wondering about the other cabin's clues, so check them out below. We're aware of the difficulty of the clues and variance among every team. It's impossible to balance 100%, so each cabin had the possibility of receiving a hint by the end of the week. Clues with hints are included below. How well do you think your cabin would have done?
Special mention to Buzzy Bees who solved arguably the hardest clue without any hints! Great job !!

# | Clue | Type | Answer |
---|---|---|---|
1 | This evolving fantasy will leave you dazed, so we'll throw you a bone and post it to the board. | Clue | Code SGTAPN on the bulletin board of Tansan with an image of a bird. Dizzy's DA post (1) or (2) leads to DA-0488-2098-9558. |
2 | Do you aspire to win, or will you not even make the goal? HINT: Hope you had a good night's sleep thinking about this clue. I'm sure you're running the ideas over in your mind to overcome this hurdle. Good luck! | Clue | Code MLQSRD left at the finish line of the TBTWC obstacle course. Find Pandapples' obstacle course DA post which leads to DA-6051-3416-4845. |
3 | Where we had the first sightings of an albino bunny. Cross the iron bridge and you'll eventually meet a cat. Turn away from the wolf for now! | Clue | Located in Chris’ island tours episode 1 post - YouTube video description. |
4 | Recent ancients. Short temporary to medium permanent. | Clue | Justin's pinned message in the old-school animal crossing channel. Relatively recent event for relatively ancient games. The short week/temporary event resulted in a medium (channel for communication) permanently. |
5 | The regular bearer appears irregularly if you know where to look. HINT: I'm just a messenger here to deliver your hint. Have you been monitoring everything? Even through all the junk? We're getting bored watching you. Unfortunately, opting out now is not an option. | Clue | The notification email received by users when they "watch" a board for new messages/posts (mail). |
6 | Luxury sells the artist of a girl’s best friend + a man’s best friend. Luxury created the gryphon. The gryphon does not sell the artist of a girl’s best friend, which is the enemy of a man’s best friend. | Clue | Skandranon’s Monique giveaway post in NNN. Working backwards, the enemy of a man's best friend is a cat. The gyphon (TBT user Skandranon) does not sell (giveaway) the artist of a girl's best friend (Marilyn Monroe, who has a connection to Monique in AC). Working the clue from the front eventually led to the same result, just in a more convoluted manner. |
7 | Pending negotiations for the hoard are void. | Clue | In the "cancel trade" pop-up when using the Trading feature. Users can trade with themselves to test it out. |
8 | 09 06 10 11 08 12 13 10 14. First, no. Middle, yes. Last, maybe. | Clue | Under the post a poll function when creating a new thread in the AC:NL Patterns sub-forum.
