This will be the only global advice I’ll give on forum: it may be wise to bring notebook and pencil/pen and none of the clues/puzzles will be inside a business.

AnonymousNo problem. We all have limitations, and those of us especially far away know that we can’t participate in everything.

Hehehe! Your report made me smile, I’m glad you’re enjoying the adventure as much as I made this for you guys. Speaking of….hopefully there will be more participants? I highly recommend starting today because if you’re waiting to do it all tomorrow you *might* be cutting it short, it all depends on your skill level.

First I want to congratulate @prufrock5150, @mariawc, and @nosnevets for completing. Quick walk-through as promised:
1.) The introduction video had GPS coordinates to Donut Friend (the donut pic was there to confirm that yes, you got the GPS right). The morse translated to “look under the newspaper rack”.
2.) I forgot to include this in the introduction video but I hinted on this thread that all clues/puzzles will not be in a business.
3.) There’s a newspaper rack outside of Donut Friend.All you had to do was look under and you’d find a magnetic geocache. This cache had a QR code which leads you to the first puzzle which is mostly Tension trivia.
4.) There’s a rot-13 cipher in the title that translates to “PASADENA”. If you filled in all the trivia, the red letters spell out “under suicide bridge” which was the next location. The numbers was a simple numbers-to-letters “cipher” that translates to “GOOGLE MAP SEARCH ONE TWO SEVEN SOUTH ARROYO BLVD, SEARCH THE CAUTION SIGN INSIDE AND OUT”. So if you did just that you’d see a caution sign in the street view, basically that was my major hint where to look next.
5.) The magnetic cache was inside the caution sign.
Inside the tin was a QR code which lead you to this link which again is more Tension trivia.
6.) Had you solved the trivia you would have immediately found that the letters don’t make a word, it’s a jumble. The jumble is “BEARDED LADY”. In Burbank, there’s a vintage/oddities store called “Bearded Lady”. The rot13 at the very bottom of the jumble said “ODDITIES & RARITIES SIGN, LOOK FOR MAGNETIC TIN. YOU’RE ALMOST DONE WITH THE HUNT!”
7.) The Oddities and Rarities sign is outside the shop, behind the sign and at the bottom was the last tin. *Yes, I got Kiki’s permission to plant the cache*
8.) The QR code lead you to this link.
9.) It’s a substitution cipher or a cryptogram, my personal favorite. If solved you would know to meet me at Villains Tavern on 7.20.16 between 5:30-8:00pm to receive your prize.
10.) The prize was a bag of personalized candy that I purchased not long ago, they say GLORY BE. (some of them were supposed to have the BOS logo but there was a communication fail between me and the candy shop, oops)
Fin.
