When you join the group Historical Hunts, Ltd. you can obtain a list of all the merchants' shops so that you can start wherever you like.  The hunters group is extremely valuable when you are stumped and need help, or simply to meet like-minded friends.

FOR MORE INFORMATION:  

http://historicalhunts.blogspot.com/

There is NO HINT BLOG!  You will find hints at each shop location.

We ask you these favors:

● Please do not contact shop owners directly.  All enquiries should come to Perryn Peterson in the form of notecards as I/Ms are frequently capped.  

● Please respect everyone participating:  designers, shop owners, other hunters.  We expect courtesy in the group I/M as well.

● Please keep your lag as low as possible while hunting; do not wear a lot of prims, scripts and items like bling, weapons and HUDs.  These will slow things down for everyone.

All hunt items are clickable and will place items directly into your inventory in folders.

Enjoy and bring lots of friends with you!

Producer, HHL Hunts & Events
