🔎 The Sensational Scavenger Hunt: PHB Tribal Tournament 2024 🔦

Welcome back once again, Poptropicans, it’s time for the third and final round of the 2024 Tribal Tournament! (If you’ve been under a rock for the past few weeks and have no clue what we’re talking about, check out our previous posts, rounds 1 & 2.) Remember: Although the Brawny Brainiacs Bout is over, the first round—Gifted Gladiators—is open for the remainder of the tournament, so don’t hesitate to start creating now!

I now present the ✨ Sensational Scavenger Hunt! ✨

In this competitive game, you and your team will follow clues, hidden on different pages all over the blog, by answering questions relating to Poptropica.

Here’s how this works: Below, you’ll find your first clue that will hint to any given page here on the blog where the next clue is located. (For example—“A list of many themes and scores enhances islands even more”—would probably lead to the Pop Music page, where you’d find the next clue.) The clue could be anywhere on a page, so you might want to scroll through its entirety to find it.

There are a total of 10 clues you will need to decipher in order to complete this round. The first team to find the last clue and reach “the finish line” will earn 80 points. Second place will earn 70 points, third will get 60, and so forth. If any team doesn’t start the race at all, they won’t receive any points.

Unlike last time, this round will be a collaborative effort that will hopefully bring you and your tribemates closer together. We recommend discussing the clues in your designated tribe channel on the Poptropica Help Chat and to avoid talking about the clues in the comments section as to not ruin the purpose of the race.

Rules: You must go through all of the clues in order to finish the game. If you just so happen to stumble upon the finish line or any clue ahead of the position of where you actually stand in the game, then it will not count unless you have proof that you found the answers for the previous clue(s). We’ll need screenshots of all 10 clues and the finish line for you to earn points.

Without further ado, here is the first clue:

This round ends when all of the tribes finish

✨ Good luck y’all! And have fun! ✨

– the PHB tribe representatives –

LJ, Gentle Dolphin, Purple Paw, Smart Bubbles & Smart Icicle
