Spooky Scary Scavenging
Cohosted by myself and Jeremy
Hello all, and welcome to the spookiest and most scary scavenging event to ever be hosted here on The Bell Tree! Some of you may be familiar with our Scavenger Hunt event from past events, but this iteration is special in that you'll be searching exclusively for eerie, cursed, or otherwise horrifically haunted items. What better way to celebrate the scariest season of the year than by digging through your old, cobweb-ridden crawlspace in search of your grandma's old voodoo dolls?
Everything you need to know about this event is detailed below, so break out your EMF meter and let's get to hunting!
How To Play
Each round, 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 1 Carnival Coin, for a max of 3 Carnival Coins per round. 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 2 days to find and post your photos of each set of items, after which submissions will close until the next round goes live.
Submissions
Once you have your set of photos, simply post them here in the thread and specify the round number. All photos must grouped together in one post, so please don't post multiple times for the same round. Make sure you're satisfied with your photos prior to submitting as you may not change or edit your post once it's been submitted.

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 Carnival 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 submitted together in one post. If you submit multiple posts for the same hunt, only the first will be counted.
- Do not edit your post or photos after submitting.
Happy Hunting!
