Got the luck of the Irish? Join us in the metaverse for the St. Patrick’s Day Hunt! Meet us in the Bronx on Thursday, March 17th, at 10:00 AM PT! Registration will begin on Wednesday, March 16th, at 8:00 AM PT and will remain open until Thursday March, 17th at 8:00 AM PT, two hours before the start of the Hunt.
This festive edition scavenger hunt will feature St. Patrick’s Day-themed locations around the Bronx. Players will compete in a race to solve a collection of clues that lead to various locations throughout the city. Complete the clues as fast as possible for your chance to win the new, Skating Leprechaun Block Explorer! See below for full details on prizing.
Casual Play Mode
We understand that Upland Hunts can be competitive and stressful, which means that some players are inevitably left out. For those who would like to try the Hunt without the pressure of competition, we are introducing an additional hunting tier that allows players to complete the St. Patrick’s Day Hunt at their own pace and try to solve the clues with minimal time pressure. Players who participate in the casual tier will receive 100% of their registration fee (plus a chance to win bonus UPX) for completion of the hunt.

Hunt Rewards
The top 100 players in the St. Patrick’s Day Hunt - Competitive will be eligible for rewards. Players will be broken into brackets depending on their placement which will determine their rewards. As always, players will earn back roughly 50% of their registration fee just for completing the hunt, the other 50% will contribute towards the prize pool.
Note: 50% of registration fees will be reserved for prizes, while the other 50% will be redistributed to participants through pinatas & chests.
There will be no reward brackets for the St. Patrick’s Day Hunt - Casual. Instead, players who complete the Hunt will receive approximately ~100% of their registration fee through rewards at the completion of each clue and be entered into a drawing to win 5k UPX.
How Do Hunts Work?
Once a scavenger hunt begins, you will need to click into the “treasures” menu and select the hunt you previously registered for. Selecting the first location will prompt you with a clue. Each clue will describe the name of the next location in the hunt and you’ll have to use the resources available to you to find out what the address of that location is.
Throughout the hunt, expect to see a variety of different types of clues including ciphered messages, riddles, and historical references. We highly recommend you have Google handy, alongside a pen or pencil with some paper to help you out. You can also discuss the clues with other Uplanders on the #scavengerhunt Discord channel!
May your day be filled with luck as you chase leprechauns around the Bronx!
