Curse of the Winter Winds


Adventurers come forth!

Curse of the Winter Winds Scavenger Hunt

There is a Curse upon the homeland of Olaf the White and his fellow Viking companions! The Winter Winds have arrived early and harshly. They have been quested to search for a list of items that Olaf was given in a vision. They must collect them to appease Odin and the Norse Gods so they will lift the Curse and they need your help! Find as many items as you can and return with proof so that Olaf the White’s Homeland will be restored!

The Item List:
1.    Tome of History
2.    Deck of Tarot 
3.    Bottle of Mead
4.    Cork of Screw
5.    Game of Board
6.    Grapes of Red
7.    Wand of Magic
8.    Beard of Gray
9.    Hat of Wizard
10.    Dog of Bark
11.    Cat of Floof
12.    Bubble of Bath
13.    Salt of Sea
14.    Turkey of Wild
15.    Rope of Knot
16.    Rib of Pork
17.    Sword of Steel
18.    Candle of Flame
19.    Lady of Lake
20.    Lord of Dance
21.    Ship of Sail
22.    Cloak of Hood



To Collect the Items:  Find an example of your interpretation of each Item.  Take a picture of yourself with the item. Selfies with the item are accepted! Groups may choose to play together if they wish. However, each group is required to use a minimum of one person to be in all the pictures as a Visual Anchor for the judges. For example: ‘Drusilla’ is in every List Item photo, even if the rest of her group are not. You do not have to get every List Item to create a score. Example: Can’t find a Beard of Gray? Just ignore it and go on to where the fun is! Have fun with your submissions. Creativity plays as much a part as accuracy. The more creative you are in overcoming the obstacles and obtaining List Items to submit, the better your score will likely be. A clever submission may beat a literal, physical one. “Turkey of Wild” can mean different things. Most List Items are open to imaginative interpretation.

Prizes!:

1st Place! Vintage, Order of the Odd Fellows Sword
2nd Place! Fine Woolen Blanket
3rd Place! Authentic Viking Lamps

To Win!: Winners must meet the deadline (Wed, 12/9 11:59pm) and follow all rules to be considered for prizes. Each properly submitted List Item selfie/photo added to your Collection Post on the official Orlando Renaissance Festival Page will receive between 1-5 points. Judges may make subjective decisions regarding rankings of ‘finds’ in the spirit of ‘who brought the best game’ to the game. The more creative you are in overcoming the obstacles and obtaining List Items to submit, the better your score will likely be. Judges will review the submissions and score by the following weekend, and the winners will be announced on Sunday, December 13. Winners will be contacted through their Facebook page to determine delivery of the prizes.
