Only the first to complete all of the riddles will get the final prize of $500 and my painting, however, there are other hidden prizes to be won. So, play along, have fun, and never give up!

Solving riddles awards you points. Solving riddles first gives you more points. Maybe other things give you points as well…who knows. You can see how you compare to everyone else by viewing the Global Rankings scoreboard on your profile page.

Each riddle will have a block of time allotted to solving it before the next riddle is available. If you solve the riddle quickly, you will meet a gate. Gates are time-lock barriers that keep you from moving to the next riddle until everyone has had a few days to attempt the current riddle.

This is the 3rd Christmas egg hunt I’ve put on. Each year I’ve tried to improve the game. But know: you will not figure out each riddle in seconds or minutes. Take your time. Talk things out with a close friend or with our Discord community. You have time. Use it.

Gunters Inc. is a place for all of us to search for a treasure without being disqualified based on where we live or the resources we have to travel and dig. The entire hunt is online. So, all you need is access to the internet, some nerd-culture references from the 1980s – 2020s, and a brain to be the big winner. Just be the first to find my egg.

A Gunter is an egg hunter. This term comes from the inspirational classic “Ready Player One”. Don’t bother watching the movie. Just read the book.
