At The SLB: Shinning Stars Hunt Prize Number Three

 

 

For those who didn't get the third and final prize of the SL23B's Shinning Stars Hunt, here it is.

 

SL23B - Star Hunt Prize Kiosk - v1.0: Congratulations, you are a super Hollywood Stars collector and have collected 100 stars, here is your tier 3 prize.

 

And the prize is, a hot dog "boopie," one named "Frank" appropriately enough.  He mumbles and snickers, and when touched (and sometimes when not) squirts mustard ketchup into the air. 

 

And so that was the prize that went to the wieners.

At The SLB: Shinning Stars Hunt Prize Number Two

 

 

Remember the SL23B Shinning Stars Hunt? For those who wonder what prize number two is, here it is.

The SL23B Swaginator Hunt

 

 

Besides seeing the exhibits at the Second Life Birthday, there's the Golden Ticket Giveaway, and the Shining Stars Hunt. But there's one more, an SL Birthday classic: The Swaginator Hunt. 

 

Join the fun and follow the hints to each SL23B Swaginator kiosk to collect a series of awesome SL23B themed gifts. The SL23B Swaginator kiosks are hidden throughout the Second Life Birthday Event, so grab a bottle of water and let's start hunting! 

 

To start, head to the Red Carpet Welcome in SLB Incredible and head to the Swaginator HUD giver at (151/106/21). Clicking on it, you'll get the HUD. Go to your inventory and click and "add" it to your avatar. It should appear on your viewer on the upper right. 

 

Seconds after putting it on, you should get your first clue. Clicking on Teleport, you'll end up somewhere in the vicinity of where the clue is, but you'll still need to search around for it.

 It may take some looking around for a while. But eventually, you'll find it.

 

 And the first prize is, something fun for watching a movie or sports event. So what are the next four? That's something you'll have to find out for yourself.

 

Happy Hunting,

 

Bixyl Shuftan 

 

Shining Stars Hunt

 

 Besides seeing the exhibits, and the "Golden Ticket Giveaway," there are other things to do at the Second Life Birthday sims. One is the "Shinning Stars Hunt."

 

To do the hunt, you're going to need the HUD. You get it at SLB Incredible (149/231/21) (not far from the Red Carpet Welcome). There are two givers, one for the HUD and one for the prizes. Click on the one on the left to get the HUD, and then "add" it to your avie. It should appear on your viewer on the upper left. Once it does, you're ready to start looking for the shining stars. 

 

The stars appear randomly at various stretches of pathways, both the red carpet and the sidewalk. You either click on them, or walk over them. Doing either means the star vanishes with a sparkle, and there's a brief noise of triumph as the number on your HUD goes up by one. 

After about twenty stars, you can get your first prize. Return to the two givers, and this time click on the one on the right. If you've collected enough stars, you get a small prize. There are at least two more to get as you get more stars. Word has it there's a special prize available once you've collected a hundred.

 

So what is it? Not telling you yet. Get it yourself or wait until after The Birthday is over for me to show you.  

Once again, the Shinning Star Hunt givers are at : https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SLB%20Incredible/149/231/21

"The Multiverse Fair," A Halloween Fundraiser For Parkinson's

 

The Multiverse Fair is going on. This fundraiser for Parkinson's Disease research takes place over seven sims, and is going on until Tuesday November 4.

 

Multiverse Fair is a seven region mega event in Second Life supporting The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. Step into the ripple where realities collide. The Multiverse Fair is not just an event, it’s a dimensional detour through twisted fantasy, surreal sci-fi, and haunted dreams. Seven realms. Countless stories. Booths, quests, secrets, and surprises await. Come get lost you might just find something impossible. One question: What even is reality? 

 

 The grounds consist of seven sins (the one on the map on the upper right is a phantom that can't be reached). Five have various themes, related to Halloween. They are Dodge City (think Weird West), Folktales and Fleshwounds, Carnival Nocturne (evil clowns), Uncanny Ink, and Lolliocalypse. 

 

The sims have some scary scenery. And I found shops all over with various goods. 

 

 Note: from the chatter on Discord, Lolliocalypse sounds super-scary to some.

 

 The mascot of the fair are the Nubbins. You can buy an animesh one for 800L,and take part in the "Hunt for Nubbins" game in which you search for little statues of the critters across the sims for prizes. 

 

Every day up to Monday Novemeber third, there are music events.  For more events, check the schedule (here).  

 

The music events take place on the EclipticAquatia sim, at (128/133/22). 

 

So to have a scary time, and support a good cause while doing so, head on over to the Multiverse Fair.

SL22B Dragon Eggs Hunt

 

Besides the Swaginator Hunt at the SL22B, which we wrote about a few days ago, there's another HUD=based hunt: the Dragon Eggs Hunt.

 

Legends speak of ancient dragon eggs scattered across the celebration lands. Seekers who recover these relics will restore their hidden magic and earn wondrous rewards. Wear the SL22B Forgotten Eggs HUD and begin your quest through the exhibitor regions. Each egg you claim draws you deeper into the tale.

 

To play the game, get the HUD at one of several locations at the Second Life Birthday grounds, at tge Welcome Area, you can find it at SLB Awesome (123/103/103).

 

When you pick up the HUD, attach it and it appears on your upper left. 

 Finding eggs wasn't too difficult. Going down from the welcome area I picked some up right away. You can either walk over the eggs, or get within five feet and click on them. 

 

There are prizes for getting so many eggs. At 20, you can get the Enchanted Book. At 50, you can get a magical ring of mushrooms. At 100, you get the "Will-o’-Wisp of Emberlight," To get the prizes, drop by the reward vendor next to where you can get the HUD. 

 

Happy hunting.

The SL22B Swagonator Hunt

 

There's a couple HUD Hunts in this Year's Second Life Birthday. One is the Swaginator Hunt.

To start, you need to get the Swaginator HUD. You can pick it up at a few spots at the SLB sims, but the most familiar one is at the official entrance at SLB Awesome (135/102/103). Click on the giver, and once it appears in your inventory, attach it. 

It should appear on the upper left on your screen providing a clue to where the second is. When you find it, you'll get a small gift, and a clue to the next location.

Previous Swagonator hunts have had as few as five gifts in total. But this one is larger, having a few dozen. Finding them all will take at least an hour, most likely more.
