About Side Hunts

One of the quirky charms of Twisted Hunt is the fact that our merchants go above and beyond the call of duty to provide extra fun for the hunters. We encourage our merchants to include side hunts, games, sales, gachas, quests, mazes, and anything else they can think of to make Twisted Hunt more fun, and to offer more swag for folks staggering through stores looking desperately for that spinning cube of evil we all know and love.

However, there are a couple of things worth mentioning:

1. Side hunts, games, quests, mazes, etc. are all optional. Merchants don’t have to do all the extra stuff if they don’t want to, and hunters aren’t obligated to play all the reindeer games you typically find on the way to the End Game.
2. People helping each other on the hunt (or side hunts) is NOT cheating.
Twisted Hunt Organizers and volunteers giving hints and/or checking prize locations, are not responsible for any hunt EXCEPT the main Twisted Hunt.
3. We don’t know the locations of the side hunts, so please ask someone who did the side hunt, and not us.

Twisted Hunt has very specific rules for all of its merchants and hunters, which we expect everyone to follow. We assume no responsibility for the contents or difficulty of any merchant’s side hunts, games, etc. Twisted Hunt Organizers also have a zero tolerance policy for bullying.

Bearing that in mind, please remember that Twisted Hunt is designed to bring people into your store. It is a discovery tool, which often leads to more sales. If you make things impossible for hunters, they will turn around and leave. Most won’t bother to come back. It’s fine if you wish to make things challenging. Heck, that’s encouraged with the regular hunt item. BUT, if your side hunt is so ridiculously difficult that it takes days, to complete, then you run the risk of losing potential customers. As such, we also do not appreciate getting a rash of complaints from folks about any store that has a ridiculously difficult side hunt and/or game.

One other thing: We expect people not to complain about the quality of the main Twisted prizes and/or stores and merchants. We also expect some level of professionalism with our merchants, and this means the respect goes both ways. We do NOT want to see or hear about any hunter being belittled, bullied, mocked, or called names because they cannot find their way through a side hunt or other game. This is really NOT okay with us. Really, it isn’t. If we find someone doing this repeatedly, even after a warning, they will be invited not to apply to the next event.

Our goal for Twisted Hunt is to provide a safe, albeit evil, bit of fun for folks. We love our merchants and we love our hunters. Please be excellent to each other, and though this is the hardest hunt on the grid, your item(s) should not be impossible to find. As far as side hunts, please remember that everyone has a real life they must attend, and not everyone is going to have copious free time to waste if it takes a day or two to get through your side hunts.
