LibraryThing hunts are an English-language feature. If you want to join in, here's how it works.
2021 Halloween Treasure Hunt
It’s October, and the Halloween Hunt has returned!
We’ve scattered a collection of jack-o-lanterns around the site. You’ll solve the clues below to find the jack-o-lanterns and gather them all together.
- Decipher the clues below and visit the corresponding LibraryThing pages to find a jack-o-lantern. Each clue points to a specific page right here on LibraryThing. Remember, they are not necessarily work pages!
- If there’s a jack-o-lantern on a page, you‘ll see a banner at the top of the page.
- You have a little over one week to find all the jack-o-lanterns (until 11:59pm EDT, Sunday October 31st).
- Come brag about your collection of jack-o-lanterns (and get hints) on Talk.
Win prizes:
- Any member who finds at least two jack-o-lanterns will be awarded a jack-o-lantern badge Badge: .
- Members who find all 12 jack-o-lanterns will be entered into a drawing for one of five LibraryThing (or TinyCat) coaster sets and stickers. We‘ll announce winners at the end of the hunt.
ConceptDawg has made all of our treasure hunt graphics in the last couple of years. We like them, and hope you do, too!
