Skipping Stones presents The Down the Chimney Hunt

Last Day of the hunt!

December 20, 2009

To celebrate how much fun everyone had on the hunt, we’re throwing a wrap party today!

Down the Chimney Hunt Polar Beach Party!

(Thanks to OMGWTF Barbecue and Achariya Maktoum for helping with the photo!)

The party starts at 15:00 SLT, and runs until 21:00 SLT. The ARC limit is 1500 so everyone can enjoy the party and still look good. We also ask that you turn off resize scripts, remove poofers, and take off unnecessary HUDs. Hopefully these measures will allow as many avatars as possible to attend!

Party location: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Change%20of%20Mind/228/71/21.

If you haven’t done the hunt yet, what are you waiting for!? There are over 90 top-quality stores on the hunt, all with excellent prizes for you to find.

Skipping Stones Presents The Down the Chimney Hunt
December 6-20

Down the Chimney Hunt!

The best gridwide hunt in Second Life is back! Over 100 top-quality indie, bohemian, eclectic and alternative stores have teamed up to give you an awesome second holiday!

The hunt includes male and female clothiers, skin makers, shoe, jewelry and accessory stores, home goods stores, pose makers, hair creators and more.

The fun starts at the Kunstkammer Main Store in Emmelia. Each gift includes a link to the next store in the hunt, and the last store goes back to the start, (so you can start at any point in the hunt).

August’s Skipping Stones hunt was a smash hit, with many happy hunters and rave reviews. This second hunt promises to be even better, with more stores and new gifts!

The hunt ends at midnight, Dec 20, so don’t miss out!
