LibraryThing hunts are an English-language feature. If you want to join in, here's how it works.
2021 Children's Literature Treasure Hunt
Once upon a time, LibraryThing hosted frequent treasure hunts. But then, the hunts disappeared. LibraryThing members were worried. Where did they go? Would members ever see their fair hunts again? Never fear, the latest Treasure Hunt is here.
We've let loose a nest-full of eggs around the site. You'll solve the clues below to find the eggs and gather them back together.
- Decipher the clues below and visit the corresponding LibraryThing pages to find an egg. Each clue points to a specific page right here on LibraryThing. Remember, they are not necessarily work pages!
- If there's an egg on a page, you'll see a banner at the top of the page.
- You have just over one week to find all the eggs (until 4pm EDT, Monday May 10th).
- Come brag about your squadron of eggs (and get hints) on Talk.
Win prizes:
- Any member who finds at least one egg will be awarded an eggs in the nest Badge ().
- Members who find all 12 eggs will be entered into a drawing for one of five LibraryThing (or TinyCat) coaster sets and stickers. We'll announce winners at the end of the hunt.
P.S. Thanks to conceptDawg for the Duck, Duck, Goose illustration!
He's made all of our treasure hunt graphics in the last couple years. We like them, and hope you do, too!
