Just a little idea to keep your members amused

Ok Sorry for the advertising..I just thought a link would have been easier to get jist rather than my lame explanation. :$


Ok well On my site I have a Virtual Treasure Hunt, basically I post a list of questions at a set time and the first person to e-mail me the correct answers gets a prize.

My questions (most of them) are from my forum. So I might have part of a sentence and miss a word out and the people have to guess the missing word. Very simple but its a good laugh. I have only done one before and we had such a laugh with the shoutbox going nuts with people swapping clues etc..

I also noticed we got a lot of new people that day as members had told friends etc.

Its also a good way for new members to have a really good look around your forum.

I am having our next one at 6pm tonight if you want to see how it works (Mods delete this bit if thats now allowed :ermm: )

Good idea! Although it sounds to me a bit like RHTC. Still, it's a good idea. ^_^

RHTC? :huh:

Artist, if you use questions based on your forums, does the search function have to work?

Yeah what is RHTC ?

Jo....No thats whats so much fun, as you know the search funtion often does not work (no dig intended) but people just trawl around your whole site and it takes them a while. Last time I had a question that a Mod knew the answer to so they were frantically trying to contact her.....Just great fun!!

I think the shoutbox helps the fun though

I see. I might give it a try one day then.

Have you done anything else like this at all?

RHTC = Random Hidden Trivia Contest. Brian holds a contest a bit like what you're describing every now and then. http://support.invisionfree.com/index.php?showtopic=190352

No not at the moment but I am always getting daft ideas. We had a real treasure hunt recently that I organised for our car club so I just modified it a bit.

We also have a regular photo competition
