Google maps scavenger hunt.
« on: January 17, 2011, 12:37:23 am »

Rules
First poster picks a 500m street area to be the search zone and gives a list of things to be found in google street view.  Then everyone else attempts to find the things on the list.  Whoever finds the most, gets to pick the next search zone and item list.  Be advised, the first person to find that item gets credit.
If the thing found meets the criteria of the item description, it is found, regardless if it's just a similar object and not the original.


First Search Area.

http://maps.google.ca/maps?client=firefox-a&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=55.246849,-127.584379&spn=0.004232,0.009645&z=17
Trans-Canada Highway, New Hazelton.  Between Felding and Templeman St.

List of objects to be found, (we'll start with absolute things and avoid vague descriptions):
  • Two guys up high
  • the number 58
  • Laundro-mat shower sign
  • fruits and vegetables
  • A picture that finishes the sentence: Hazelton: "Land of the ______"
  • the number 4444
  • Man at the back of his van
  • person holding a paddle

Tip: Instead of wasting time copying an image directly: save the image url through googlemap links in the top right then paste here to claim you've found the item.


The benchmark for each scavenger hunt is 24 hours.  If all items are not found within that time, then the subsequent search area will be reduced, (or icreased if all items are found quickly)

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

5/8 found.  Gatleos, go ahead and pick round 2.  Area size increased to 800m max, pick as many items as you want.

I actually feel kind of bad about the scary clown face, it's ridiculously hard to find.
