Golden Egg Scramble

is coming soon....

Welcome To The Golden Egg Scramble 2010

2010-01-30T19:04:00.000-08:00

Welcome to The Golden Egg Scramble 2010.

I am going to bury a golden egg somewhere in London.

The egg, worth over £1,000 is decorated with rubies, diamonds and sapphires.

This is how the hunt will be laid out:

The hunt will start on Monday 1st March and end on Friday 2nd April (Good Friday)

This period is 5 weeks long.

Each weekday, a clue will be released on this website. This could take the form of a puzzle, a brain-teaser, riddle, picture problem, anagram, coded message. Just about anything. These daily clues will be solvable from the comfort of your own home/office.

Each week, the five daily clues will lead you to a Weekly clue somewhere in London. You will need to leave the house for this.

At the end of the five weeks, your five weekly clues will point you to where the egg is buried!

Don't worry the Weekly Clues are permanent fixtures so you won't miss out if you don't get there first.

The final daily clue in the final week will be released on the Saturday (rather than the Friday) so that people working on Friday have an equal opportunity to solve the Weeklies and get out to the egg first.

I will soon get up some examples so that you can practice breaking clues and the layout is clear.

Good luck!

Charlie
