This thread is a record of the Intelli-thread's Halloween 2013 treasure hunt. While the event is over and prizes are no longer available, it can still be played for fun - if anyone has the gumption to attempt it. wink
Anyone who successfully reaches the end will have their name added to the "Roll of Honour" on the Intelli-thread's front page.
Posts in this thread are welcome if anyone needs more hints, or has any comments, questions or suggestions, and please let me know if you find anything in the hunt which doesn't work (such as broken images or links). Hints for the hunt's puzzles and a list of the people who have made it to the end are in the second post.
Have fun!
Intelli-Thread Halloween 2013 Treasure Hunt 
29th October - 2nd November
Intelli-Thread vs. The Gent, Round 1!
The Gent would like to extend a challenge to all visitors to the Intelli-Thread. Do you dare enter the depths of my devious Halloween Hunt and attempt to secure the treasures within?
My little game works like this. You will follow a trail of clues which have been carefully hidden throughout this thread. The answer to every clue is a page number. Solving each clue will reveal the number of the page you must visit to find the next clue, and so on, until you reach the end. It sounds simple? Perhaps it is... and perhaps it isn't.
For those of you with the wherewithal to follow my trail of tricks and traps all the way to the end, I offer some tantalising prizes: a first-gen Rosamund's Revenge, Little Lucie and Wisteria. And for those of you whose effort is sterling but who fall at one of the final hurdles, an array of runner-up prizes awaits.
If the Intelli-thread can empty my coffers of their fifteen prizes by Midnight GMT on Monday 3rd November, then I will concede defeat, and by way of forfeit, I promise to replace my handsome top hat with something horrendously cute and fluffy for an entire evening.
If not, then victory is MINE! And I will gloat about it for weeks. emotion_awesome

Instructions: How To Play
-Your first clue is below. Solve it to find the first page number you need, then type that number into the "jump box" at the top of the thread, and hit "Enter". (If you've never used this feature of Gaia before, it's a little entry box beside the thread's page numbers at the top or bottom of the thread, which will allow you to jump to any page number you wish).
-If your solution is correct, you will find the second clue hidden in one of The Gent's posts on that page. All clue posts are labelled with the letter "H" for Halloween followed by the clue number (eg H01), so you know you've found the right place.
-There are twenty-three clues between here and your final destination. To give you a breather, there are two checkpoints, at clue ten and clue eighteen. Reaching a checkpoint entitles you to claim a prize (a third-tier prize for reaching the first checkpoint, a second-tier prize for reaching the second checkpoint, and a first-tier prize if you reach the end).
-As time goes on, I will begin adding hints in this post for specific clues, and will continue to do so until all prizes have been claimed. If you are having trouble, try checking this post for hints, or ask in the thread for some help!
-Remember that you are always looking for a number. Numbers can be written in words or digits.
Rules
-ONE PRIZE PER PERSON only. This means that if you are aiming for one of the first-tier prizes, you mustn't claim a prize at the first or second checkpoint.
-Discussing the treasure hunt in the thread is fine, and you may help out others by giving them hints. Please do NOT post direct answers to any of the clues in the thread.
-To claim a prize, please send a PM to me with the special code words you will find at the checkpoints or the end of the hunt. You may choose any prize you wish which has not been claimed yet. As prizes are claimed, I will update this post to show which are remaining.
Attempt to bend, break, or otherwise molest any of these rules and be subject to the full might of my Halloweeny vampiric fury!
I had intended to say something here about biting people, but for some reason that threat does not seem to be having the intended effect. emo
