X marks the spot as treasure hunt hits the spot

A prize treasure hunt held across the Open Life regions last weekend has proved a big hit with students and staff alike.

The hunt opened at 10am on Saturday, with the first correct finishers submitting their solutions in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Lots of people attempted the treasure hunt, and feedback on the OUSA SL forum was positive. There is a general feeling that it should become a regular event.

The prize and trophy were awarded to Strangie Vaher at the T175 party that night.

The treasure hunt will remain available in-world for a few days, so please feel free to try it. The starting point is here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Open%20Life%20Village/85/56/30

The experience of designing and running the treasure hunt will doubtless prove useful when we create an in-world scavenger hunt as part of the orientation programme.

Party!

Last weekend's in-world party in Second Life was a roaring success. Attendance peaked at thirty avatars on Open Life Village green, as avatars calebrated The Open University's 40th birthday.
