Welcome to the first season of

The Hunt.

The Hunt is a social media scavenger hunt to not only find the person of interest “SPIKE” but also to determine his fate.  Clues shall be given out across multiple platforms of social media and a few during live events to the whereabouts of Spike.  Follow the clues, find where he’s hiding, and determine his fate.(Win some cash while you’re at it)

So who is Spike?  Spike is a friendly neighborhood turtle, loving everyone, and making the world a better place.  Or is he?  Various videos will be placed throughout the season to help you make up your own mind on the matter.

Clues

Starting on October 24th clues will start popping up in various ways

Twitter @merinosyc –  Daily:  Tracking steps will be given out starting at his actual location.(That’s right first off you’re given his location….kind of)  Spike will back track his steps on how he got there.  Once you think you know where he was during a step just follow the clues back to his location and he’s all yours.

Snapchat @merinosyc – Daily:  Parts of a picture showing his actual location will be posted to our stories.  Check back often,as you know time is of the essence in this clue, as they only last 24 hours.

Live  Events-  Weekly:  Every Friday night at 7:30 we will have a movie/game night, during which a clue will be shared.  These clues are more detailed clues regarding Spike’s hiding place at the location.(is he hiding in a tree, is he hiding inside a bucket, etc…)

Facebook The Source Youth Center–  At random times pictures and videos of the back story of who Spike is will be posted.  Also, weekly trivia for those unable to attend the live events.

Instagram @merinosyc – At random moments pictures of Spike on his way to the hiding spot will be posted.

Winning

For the person lucky enough to find him, they simply need to capture a picture of themselves with Spike in the location where he was found.  Then, bring both the picture(posting it online to Facebook also qualifies) and the turtle to one of the weekly events.  By doing so that person will be able to collect the growing reward and decide to save his life or put him to a grueling death.

Prizes

The starting prize pool begins at $20.00 with it growing an additional $20.00 for each week he isn’t found.  ($20, $40, $60, $80, etc…) Spike’s hiding location will be checked frequently and if found missing the prize pool will stop growing, and the winner will have two weeks to claim his or her prize.  If prize isn’t claimed within the time allowed all prizes will be forfeited and the season will end.
