LibraryThing hunts are an English-language feature. If you want to join in, here's how it works.
2021 LGBTQ Pride Month Treasure Hunt
It's June, and our annual Pride Month Hunt has returned!
We've let loose a shower of rainbows around the site. You'll solve the clues below to find the rainbows and gather them all together.
- Decipher the clues below and visit the corresponding LibraryThing pages to find a rainbow. Each clue points to a specific page right here on LibraryThing. Remember, they are not necessarily work pages!
- If there's a rainbow on a page, you'll see a banner at the top of the page.
- You have just over one week to find all the rainbows (until 4pm EDT, Thursday June 24th).
- Come brag about your shower of rainbows (and get hints) on Talk.
Win prizes:
- Any member who finds at least one rainbow will be awarded a rainbow badge Badge: .
- Members who find all 12 rainbows 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 cock-of-the-rock illustration! According to
Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity by Bruce Bagemihl, male cock-of-the-rock "delight in homosexuality."
ConceptDawg has made all of our treasure hunt graphics in the last couple of years. We like them, and hope you do, too!
