Hey everyone, and welcome to 6 Days of Scavenging! Some of you may be familiar with our Scavenger Hunt event from past fairs, as well as our annual 12 Days of Collectibles event that I normally host during the holiday season. What better way to beat the heat than to have Christmas in July in the form of a huge collectible giveaway, but with a fun and exciting scavenger hunt thrown into the mix as a means to earn your raffle tickets?! I mean, seriously. Who wants to swim and run through sprinklers when you can grab your magnifying glass and dig through storage to find your old Russian bassoon and fossilized saltine cracker?
Everything you need to know about this event is detailed below, so break out your safari gear and let's get hunting!
How To Play
Each day, I'll be posting a set of 3 items around 7pm EST. You'll then be faced with the arduous yet fun task of locating said objects and taking a photo of each one, and every photo that meets the criteria outlined in the spoiler will earn you one raffle coin, which can then be used to purchase up to 3 raffle tickets per day. Keeping the current world events in mind, all of these items should be relatively easy to locate in or around your home. Once you have the object in your sight, take a photo of it with a namecard clearly displayed somewhere in the photo and wait for your submission to be accepted, at which point your earned currency will show up instantly. You'll have roughly 24 hours to find and post your photos of each set of items, after which submissions will close as the next day's hunt goes live.
Submissions
Once you have your set of photos, head over to the submissions board and create a new thread using the dropdown option to select the round number and post your pictures. Please make sure you choose the [6 Days of Scavenging] prefix for your thread! All photos must grouped together in one thread, so please don't create multiple threads for the same hunt. Make sure you're satisfied with your photos prior to submitting your thread, as you may not change or edit your entry once it's been posted.

Headphones or earbuds (dual-ear; no gaming/phone headsets), a canned beverage or canned food with a pop top (metal can, no coffee), and a mousepad (must be an actual standard size mousepad; keyboard pads, desk coverings, large desk mats, squares of fabric, your bedspread, a piece of cardboard, etc. that is currently being used as a mousepad won’t be accepted). See this post for full details!
Rules
- You MUST create a physical namecard of some kind with your TBT username written on it and this card must be present and clearly visible in each photo. Any photo submitted without a namecard will not be counted and will not earn raffle coins. Digitally adding your name to the photos does not count; it must be an actual piece of cardstock or paper with your username on it.
- Photos submitted as a joke or those that are extremely low effort will not be accepted. For example, if the current hunt calls for you to photograph a car, no taking a photo from your bedroom window of a car parked a mile down the road that's barely visible and -100p resolution.
- The photos you take must be of actual physical items. No photos of webpages or other digital images will be allowed.
- All of your photos must be posted together in one thread. If you submit multiple threads for the same hunt, only the first will be counted.
- Any member found to have used an alternate account as a means to up their chances of winning will be disqualified from the event with all earned prizes removed, and may be disallowed from participating in future TBT events. We will be on the lookout for this, so please be sure to play fair.
- All photos must be submitted at the same time. Photos added as a new post to your submission thread will not be counted.
Prizes
Each photo you take that meets the criteria for that day will net you 1 Raffle Coin + 20 TBT Bells, for a maximum of 3 Coins and 60 Bells per each hunt. This means you'll be able to earn a maximum of 18 raffle entries. We also have a very special treat for those of you who manage to find all three items from each day's list: a brand new, ultra-quirky friend who will keep you company as you peruse the forums. Some may call it weird or strange, and although similarities exist, I think it's safe to say this little character is in a league all their own. While this other odd little enigma has proven to be elusive and refuses to reveal itself, Coco wasn't satisfied with her role as mere banner aesthetic and insisted on taking on a larger role within the event. Anyone who finds at least one item from each hunt will receive a brand new collectible as proof of their efforts: an adorable Cocotryoshka!
Now that we've gone over all of that, let's get to the full raffle details! Below you'll see a total of 20 collectibles, some extremely rare, some more common, and some hovering in the middle of the road. All the collectibles detailed below will be given away, but each can only be won once and will be removed from the pool once the winner for that specific collectible is drawn.
FAQ
Q. Can I win more than once?
A. Yes! Don't fret if you win something that isn't exactly your cup of tea, as each member will have as many entries into the raffle pool as tickets they've purchased and will still be eligible to win the remaining collectibles. Duplicate winners won't be discounted this time around.
Q. Are these collectibles allowed to be sold or traded?
A. Absolutely. The winners may do whatever they wish with their new collectibles.
Q. When will the winners be drawn?
A. All winners will be drawn on Sunday, July 18th after 7pm EST. Make sure you buy your tickets daily to ensure you get the maximum number of entries, as the tickets will be pulled from the shop just before the winners are announced.
Q. Where do I buy my tickets once I receive raffle coins?
A. Tickets can be purchased at the Bell Tree Shop.
