Oh look, it's another Mystery Challenge Name!
I promise we're not being overly tricky this time around, it's just that the best name for this one legitimately does give too much away, so we'll update the banner once everyone has played it, and you'll have the opportunity then to all groan collectively at the pun. Promise.
What we can tell you now is that today's Challenge is a kind of image search, involving a branch of the HP fandom which is somewhat obscure but endlessly entertaining... and which will need to remain a secret until you begin playing the Challenge.
When you join the Member Group 'Search Me' you'll be able to access a few more detailed instructions, including a link, plus 15 numbered images. All of these images can be found somewhere on the other side of that link, and your task will be to search through it and discover where they are hidden.
After you locate each image, the instructions in the Member Group will tell you how to turn their location into a Trigger on this board, which will turn into a new image and thus prove that you found what you were meant to. This will be very simple, and the instructions will contain an example of the process, which you should read carefully. Your goal is to find as many images as you can, then post the Triggers representing each location in your Challenge thread. You can post the Triggers all at once, or you can post them one at a time, or anything in between. Just post as many as you can before time runs out.
A few important warnings:
- We've edited all the images slightly so that they can't simply be reverse-image searched, and have tested this thoroughly. As a consequence, you should expect many of the images you are given to look slightly different from the ones you are searching for - they may be cropped portions of larger images, recoloured versions, blurred or watermarked, perhaps stretched, rotated or reflected, or some combination of these things and more.
- Despite this, the features you must search for will be clearly identifiable and there should be no reason to doubt the match once you find the original image. So if you ever find yourself squinting and wondering whether you're correct... you almost certainly are not; the correct images should all be clear and obvious.
- You can keep trying the Triggers as many time as you like. But because they are preset Triggers, you'll need to make sure that your spelling and formatting is perfectly correct. Please double-check for typos before posting your Triggers.
- There is a time limit of 30 minutes to this Challenge. We hope that it won't take you that long, but also don't want you searching vainly if you miss something. This means that any Triggers you post more than 30 minutes after joining the Member Group will not count. Please set a timer and be sure to submit whatever you have before this time expires.
The player who finds the most images and proves this by posting the greatest number of correct answers will win Individual Immunity for both themselves and their Immunity Pair partner at tomorrow night's Magical Council. In the even of a tie for the highest score, the player who reached that score the quickest (as measured from when they joined the Member Group) will be deemed the winner.
You must complete this Challenge by 8:30pm AEST tomorrow.
