THE HUNT IS OVER



Congratulations to @mrsmoosejaw and @janehungoz the winners of the First ONLINE BONES SCAVENGER HUNT!

Because the girls worked together and submitted their answers together, they'll be splitting the prize. Mrs Moosejaw will receive seasons 1 and 2, and Janey will receive seasons 3 and 4.

The girls submitted their clue together in one email. Sneaky, but we still end up with one "grand prize" winner. This has been a lot of fun for me and I HOPE for all of you as well.

Congrats girls!
Jen

This Game is Almost Over

Have we had fun? I hope so! This summer game has been a real joy for me, and meeting all of the hunters online, watching your progress week by week has been a ton of fun! Next week its all over, though. We're down to the top 10 players in the game! Congrats to everyone who moved forward.

Since this game started you've had to use binary decoders, hex decoders, alpha numeric systems, symbolism, Shakespeare, imagery, videos, podcasts, transcripts, google/wikipedia, screen caps and other crazy resources to figure out the hints. and clues, week by week.

This week is going to be a combination of all the above elements. You will be responsible for decoding 12 quotes (taken from seasons 1-3 of Bones) that will be emailed to all the hunters still in the game. You will be responsible for 'decoding' or translating each quote, identifying the episode and the character who is speaking.

This week is pretty simple. This is to give you a break for whats coming next week. Remember next week is the FINAL week of the OBSH and we will crown ONE grand prize winner!! Also remember that next week is a SHORT week as the game ends MIDNIGHT EST-USA on the 16th. The clue will be emailed to remaining contestants on SUNDAY, the 13th and your answers will be due at by MIDNIGHT EST-USA on the 16th. We will announce the grand prize winner on Thursday, Sept 17th before 7PM EST-USA (just before the Bones season 5 Premier!).

Happy Hunting!

Week 8 Decoded


OK hunters, last week was a real fight--but you guys are real winners! Here are the answers to Clue 8, decoded. Thanks to @parlai for the pictures for this weeks decode. Click episode beneath picture for larger image.



Now for the Bonus Clue, which only 5 brave souls attempted (and got correct!) :
A: 122
B. x-3=y, y*3=z

Answer: The episodes used to solve this weeks clue!
x = 7 (1.07 - Man on death row)
y = 4 (2.04 - The blonde in the game)
z = 12 (2.12 - Man in the cell)

DID YOU CATCH THE HINT IN THE CLUE ITSELF?
Match Numbers from row A to numbers in section B as related to this weeks game to render three distinct phrases. I know this one is tough, just use your head, man.

HAPPY HUNTING!!

OBSH WEEK 8 SKYPE RECAP

Ok Hunters,

For those of you who could not join the Skype call earlier this week, here's the promised recap:
  • Visual clue: Glove was discussed using the following questions: What kind of glove is it? What time period is it from? In what episode does a glove by that title appear?
  • Backwards writing was linked to a learning disability that is mentioned in an episode related to this week.
  • You were reminded to USE YOUR HEADS and lean on each other to help solve the clues :)
  • Bonus Clue policies were discussed (these are detailed in the clue).
