Neon Noel Hunt: A Holiday Adventure in Sunny Los Angeles
December 22, 2025
Santa’s packing the sleigh, the chestnuts are roasting, and the holiday spirit is lighting up Upland! It’s time for the Neon Noel Hunt, a Christmas-themed scavenger hunt set against the sun-drenched backdrop of Los Angeles.
From Wednesday, December 24th at 9 AM PT through Monday, December 29th at 9 AM PT, players will embark on a 12-clue journey across the city, solving riddles, discovering hidden locations, and uncovering festive rewards. And at the end of the trail? One very merry prize: the exclusive Neon Noel Palm Block Explorer.
How It Works
This isn’t a race, it’s a holiday journey.
When the event kicks off on Christmas Eve at 9 AM PT, registered players can start the hunt with a single click and will be teleported free of charge to the first location in Los Angeles. From there, it’s up to you to follow the clues, trust your instincts, and navigate your way through 12 mysterious property locations.
Make the right guess and move on. Get it wrong? Time to rethink and try again. No shortcuts. No outside help. Just you and the city..
Registration Starts: Monday, December 22nd 9AM PT
Registration Ends: Wednesday, December 24th, 7AM PT (Christmas Eve)
Hunt Begins: Wednesday, December 24th, 9AM PT (Christmas Eve)
Hunt Ends: Monday, December 29th, 9AM PT.
