Does anyone know if K-con will be doing the scavenger hunt again this year (with some more publicity this time

? It could be so much fun if more people were into it...

ooo fun

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #2 on:** August 19, 2011, 08:14:58 pm »

That would be fun~!

It might be a little late for this, but I can shoot an e-mail to the proper person for this. I enjoyed being a character for this hunt back in '09.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #4 on:** August 20, 2011, 11:56:06 am »

That would be great! You should do it!

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #5 on:** August 20, 2011, 02:00:34 pm »

Message has been sent! I'm hoping that we get a positive response. (We should try to remember to ask about it sooner next year...).

The scavenger hunt is running a little differently this year. Instead of having specific people to find, we scoured the forums and found characters that people were planning to cosplay... some will be easy to find, some not so much. The pocket guide will have a page that has the characters you need to find. Take a pic, and when you are done hunting bring your pics to the Programming Office to see what you won. We will have buttons for bingos, and if you find them all you can win something more

interesting! I wanna try this out!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #14 on:** August 20, 2011, 11:57:47 pm »

That does sound more fun. In the pocket guide will there be a list of the characters we need to find?

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #15 on:** August 20, 2011, 11:58:09 pm »

IT IS ON!!!
this shall be lots of fun!

There is actually a grid, like a bingo board, that has pics of the characters to look for, with a list on the side. You can look for bingos, or try and find all on the board.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #17 on:** August 21, 2011, 12:05:03 am »

I see, that sounds like a lot of fun. I'm currious to see what characters are on there.

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 21, 2011, 12:06:33 am »

Then I'm aiming for a black out!

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 21, 2011, 12:08:18 am »

I'm excited to see who is on the board too. Is there a limit on how many people can win? Like, the first 10 people to get a bingo get a prize?

Jamiche · « **Reply #20 on:** August 21, 2011, 12:15:39 am »

I think this year will be fun. We tried to find some that there will be a lot of people cosplaying, and a few that will harder to find (what's the fun if everyone is found the first day?)

In the event that no one can find everyone, we will be counting who wins the most. If we have multiple people, their names will be put in a drawing for the grand prize, and the winner will be announced at Closing Ceremonies. But everyone will get something.. buttons for the bingos (and you can get more than one), chance to pick something out of our prize swag if you clear the board (or get really close to it).

We're making this up as we go along, so it should be interesting

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 21, 2011, 12:17:43 am »

Sounds great! I'm gonna try to get them all!

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #22 on:** August 21, 2011, 08:22:16 am »

i've never done the scavanger hunt before so this sounds realy fun this time

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #23 on:** August 21, 2011, 11:27:38 am »

Pictures, eh? Sounds like an interesting twist on it, and the cosplayers won't have to keep tabs on their stickers any more.

Tsukinya · « **Reply #24 on:** August 23, 2011, 11:44:20 am »

This sounds like a lot of fun! I enjoyed doing it the past two years (the first year searching, the second year partaking), though too few people knew about it. I wouldn't have minded partaking again this year, but I'm happy to search as well! I'm glad it will be in the programming guide, as that was the plan for previous years as well. What happens if someone *planning* to do a particular cosplay doesn't for whatever reason? That happened a bit two years ago.. This should be fun

Thanks!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #25 on:** August 23, 2011, 03:47:54 pm »

I'd love to get in on this :D

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #26 on:** August 23, 2011, 10:28:20 pm »

^ Same here. I really enjoyed being a target for these things, especially in '09.

TalaRedWolf33 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 24, 2011, 11:11:24 am »

Yay games! Im in. I cant wait to try this. one question, will we be able to do this on day0 as well? Or will we not get the pocket book til day1?

Wrath-Chan19 · « **Reply #28 on:** August 24, 2011, 11:38:48 am »

You get it on day 0
But most people don't wear their full or best costumes on Day 0

superjaz · « **Reply #29 on:** August 24, 2011, 12:47:53 pm »

It sounds like it not specific cosplayers, but costumes to look for and to take pictures of.

TalaRedWolf33 · « **Reply #30 on:** August 24, 2011, 02:47:48 pm »

Thank you

and yea thats what i thought it was. Do we have to find the cosplayers too? Or would any picture of the cosplay listed work?

Jamiche · « **Reply #31 on:** August 25, 2011, 03:08:22 am »

You will need to take a picture of someone cosplaying the character, and we need to be able to see them clearly (group pics and shots from the Cosplay Contest are probably not going to work for you.) We don't have specific cosplayers you're looking for, just specific cosplays, so you should have a good chance of finding them.

As stated earlier... some are probably going to be easier to find than others so you'll need to be on the lookout.

TalaRedWolf33 · « **Reply #32 on:** August 25, 2011, 10:26:31 am »

Ah okay thank you

superjaz · « **Reply #33 on:** August 25, 2011, 10:51:47 am »

ooooowwooooo

wouldn't it be lucky if ya happened to be cosplaying one of the hunted characters?

TalaRedWolf33 · « **Reply #34 on:** August 25, 2011, 02:27:47 pm »

Lol that would rock. Youd be like *look on list* hey thats me! facebook picture time! *snap snap snap* yay! *turns in photos* contest manager: uh this are all of you o.O

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #35 on:** August 25, 2011, 02:56:18 pm »

^ *was gonna do that*

TalaRedWolf33 · « **Reply #36 on:** August 25, 2011, 03:05:15 pm »

Lol we should totally do that at least once

superjaz · « **Reply #37 on:** August 25, 2011, 03:47:39 pm »

Or peeps making themselves look like cosplayers from scavenger hunt

*turns in pictures*

"see? its mario!"

it would kind of suck if you were the ONLY one of that said character, though... at least I think it would. I'd hate to have to take a pic of myself; it'd feel somewhat cheap to me...

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #39 on:** August 25, 2011, 07:38:49 pm »

i would feel honored.... and i'd know for sure there would be pics for me to find after con is over

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #40 on:** August 25, 2011, 07:57:32 pm »

^ ...good point.

YouLikeRice · « **Reply #41 on:** August 29, 2011, 01:51:28 pm »

Just saw this thread after someone redirected me, and I think this is an awesome idea, so you can count me in. Plus a bingo styled scavenger hunt sounds sweet.

Tsukinya · « **Reply #42 on:** August 29, 2011, 02:02:37 pm »

I'm so excited with how they're doing it this year. This looks like a lot of fun, and it will work much better than it has in years past. Thanks for revamping a great idea to make it so much more enjoyable!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #43 on:** August 29, 2011, 02:04:36 pm »

Should be really fun. I looked at the pocket guide and notice Barret is on there, haha. So, that should be awesome. Lots of pictures for me to find and collect, hopefully.

I was just about to ask where to see the Pocket Guide, but I found it. xD

Oh man. You're gonna be popular. XDDDDDD

Now I just hope my costume doesn't pull any last minute crap-outs and looks good for all the potential pictures people will be sniping, lol

I'm wondering how many people will be taking pics of me during one of my panels, or possibly during opening ceremonies... (speaking of which, I still have yet to talk to the Chair about that...

silly me).

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #48 on:** August 31, 2011, 12:45:11 am »

...both of my cosplays are on there. Oh man. That kind of rules. Yay for pictures?

Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of Sailor Scouts this year. People can just pop in and snap a picture during our panel, no effort required. XD

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #49 on:** August 31, 2011, 11:55:28 am »

^ I just hope that the majority of the crowd is there for the panel, and not a quick photo...
