Good luck!!!

The clue is too "difficult already", for those who have not try, dont bother. hahahaha....

Nice effort Ning, nice promotion. :)

Just 1 question, when will the 2 new clues be released? I mean, on like which part of the day? Exactly 12am on the next day? Or random? Thanks..

LOL... thanks Benny ;) I promise that it's gonna be more interesting as the stages progress *grin* Although anyone can start anytime throughout the duration of this online treasure hunt, it'd be good to start early so you'll have a headstart which will be useful when you reach the more challenging bits to come!

Just use your smarts and some creativity, you'll be able to solve the clues!! ;)

As Aloy mentioned in the TLMS advertorial above, the prize is a triple combo of one book (the latest offering from the very famous Buck Twins), a new magic DVD that just came out, as well as, David Blaine's most solid card effect would be the best prize to give our ONE lucky winner in this contest :lol: ...I hope y'all like it! *grin*

GOOD LUCK TO ALL IN THE RACE... Just go to www.TheLittleMagicShop.com to see everyone's on-going progress (as well as yours) and don't forget to keep checking for new clues as mentioned in the game rules :g: If you explore the entire TLMS site, I guarantee it's going to help you ALOT in the next stages happening the next couple of days.

The TLMS Online Treasure Hunt Challenge ends this 19th, but don't wait till then to get started! Do it TODAY!!!! :lol:

CHEERS
ning ^_^

PS: DTJK - sorry sweetie, I can't say ;) All I can tell you is... keep checking!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

:unsure: we are suppose to find that "Picture X" huh?

Yup, just scroll to the top to read the rules of the game... all details are in there ;) Good luck!

Oh my God, Its super hard man.

Totally brain storming, I spent like 1 night inorder to solve the first 2 clues. (Min off the 10 hrs i slept last night)

So guys, if you really feel lazy to do this challenge, Don't bother, but you are welcome to register in the website. :)

o i give up, where is the answer??? it was so very hard, B)

i need to rest, spent a whole day to solve the first one and second one and now looking for 3 clues and so for those still finding, stop do it, it will be hard for you guys, but you are welcome to register in the website. B)

B)

Wuahahaha... ok, it's that 'hard' huh? :lol: :lol: :lol:

So far, already more than 20 people have already completed Stage 1 ...and it just started this morning!!! ^_^ Way to go, you folks are GOOD!!!

The rest of you guys and girls... if you haven't started it yet, well... JOIN IN THE FUN NOW!!!

CHEERS
ning ;)

:lol: :lol: Everyone thinks it's too easy.
I think magicians are generally more curious people and are all quite good with this kinda problem solving. B)

I think it's a very interesting concept this Treasure Hunt. I'd love to take part in it myself but I'm helping Ning with the technical aspect of the competition. :rolleyes:
Anyways, this is just the warm up round. Ning has some really weird ideas (some so weird it's technically not possible!) for the next few stages so wait for it. :lol:

have been trying to solve since this morning 7am.... just manage to get it now.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE to finish 10 checkpoints.

Ning, please give something easier.... thats too HARD :lol:

btw....Congratulation!

Cheers

Not weird... I'd call them... interesting ideas ;) Heh...

Stay tuned to www.TheLittleMagicShop.com!!!
ning ^_^

PS: Thanks Thomas! I'm sure this online game will bring out the Ethan Hunt of Mission Impossible out of you... LOL :lol: All the best for the next few stages!

Damn exam is coming....not the time for treasure hunts!! :P

But i'm in! B)

That exactly echoes my sentiments!
But i'm in all the same!

So much for keeping off the internet during the examination period.. <_<

A.

Erm...just in case there's any doubts, the Aloysius Chan in the competition is NOT me. :g: In case you all think I'm cheating. :P

I'm not very sure but i think Aloysius Chan is in these forums too?:unsure:

I'm not in the competition and I'm only responsible for the technical aspect of the treasure hunt. B) :lol:

Aloy, I think most people here know that your surname is Yeo and not Chan :lol:

Anyways, just to update everyone... I've just been persuaded to extend this competition to our magic friends in MMF as well... so the TLMS Online Treasure Hunt Challenge is now open to anyone in Singapore, Malaysia & even Brunei!!! ^_^

That's all, no further changes :) Do spread the word to your magic friends living in these countries too! The more, the merrier the challenge will be!

CHEERS
ning ;)

LOL! We want more clues!

haha.. These online treasure hunt things are fun. I remember getting distracted by Bizfantast and the Wicked during my midyear exams.

Nice way of promoting your site! Is it that difficult to find the clues or you guys just exaggerating? Haha... Can you state approximately what time the clues come out? Then more fair mah =X

Well, if it's too easy, it wouldn't be a challenge would it? ;) Since magicians are known to be really creative thinkers, I wouldn't insult your intellegence! LOL... Just join the game and you'll find out for yourself if it's really as hard as the others say it is *grin* Keep checking the TLMS site for updates and clues!

Anyways... I'm really glad you guys like this unique online treasure hunt idea for TLMS :lol: It was a bit more complex to execute but definitely much fairer because it's all based on one's own effort and skill, rather than a lucky draw of some sort that is based on chance ^_^

In case you're not aware, to see how you, or everyone else is doing in this race, just visit www.TheLittleMagicShop.com ...Remember, you can start anytime during the duration of this event but it'd be best to get a headstart because the later stages may get a bit more challenging -_-

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

Wow, great job Ning and Aloy. I have to say that the website is very comprehensive. I was browsing through the website a couple of days ago and I have to say that this is the best local magic dealer site there is. Kudos to you both. Great idea to organise a treasure hunt in such a manner as it truly allow users to browse through the entire website. With such amazing prizes I guess TLMS is playing Santa to us all :D

One question though, I manged to clear stage 1 but my name isn't inside one the list of challengers who cleared stage 1? I found the"X" with the first clue and I was given the 2nd clue. This means that I've cleared stage 1 right? Or are there some more hidden Easter Eggs that I have to hunt to clear stage 1 hehe... Pls help... Thank you so much Santa :P

You have to find the second clue to clear the first stage. Each stage consists of two clues.

That's Santa-Rina Claus for you... LOL... :lol: Thanks for the sweet compliments Jerome :) That's very kind of you!

Ok, as mentioned in the rules above, there are 2 checkpoints in total to clear per stage. It seems that you've only cleared 1 of 2 for the first stage... once you've completed the 2nd stage, your name will be automatically listed accordingly on TLMS. Kudos to Aloy the professional IT geek for making a super cool program on my webbie ^_^

So in essence... All you have to do right now, is go back to the page where you found the 2nd clue and read the hint. Once you've located the TLMS 'X' icon in the website, click on it and you'll get a message that you've completed Stage 1 :lol: That's all to it... you're halfway to completing Stage 1!

Good luck! ;)
ning

This reminds me of David blaine's book where he hid some $10000 somewhere and left hints in his book. Brillant idea you guys! B)

Hey, I've managed to find the first clue, but it definitely doesn't look like this:

Maybe it's because of the different resolution, but don't you think it'll be misleading?

Edit: Ok, after I've changed the font size, it looks like the one in the picture.

hey tayYH.

I dont think its misleading unless you created a bot to help you solve the puzzles. (oops) I use firefox on a linux computer and its looks slightly different but perfectly reasonably similar. All the best =)

CSJ

Erm....just in case anyone is thinking of using a spider bot to crawl out the check points, it will not work pass stage one. B)
Image name will be random generated and out links will be server scripted. ;)

Wah damn sly eh the web site uses misdirection. All those clicking frantically just give it up la... :P try buying sth for a change if all else fails, maybe the credit card no. entry page has the X.

So there isn't an approximate time where the next clues come out? Will it be random or within a range?

OH NOO!! I'll be in camp during weekdays! Does that like mean I'm automatically out of the competition without even trying? :huh:

hmmm.. the clue still not release yet? haha.

:)

:lol: :lol:
Go to bed guys, check again in the morning ;)

Haizz... still not out...

BTW, W3iRdKiD, you can always try to come back next weekend and try to catch up in the race. But it's gonna be a tough catch up thou.

But don't complain, I never get to take part in any of the fun stuff either. :D

ho ho ho... still waiting for 3rd clue...~ :rolleyes:

Yupz... ^_^ just in case you're wondering...

It doesn't matter if you start late because even if people are at stage 3 or 4 and you just join but are smart enough to solve all the clues, you'd be able to progress quickly within the day. It's just less stress on your part if you have an early headstart that's all :) So don't worry! Just don't start TOO late :P LOL!

The clues for Stage 2 will be released very soon, later today... *grin* I'm glad it seems so many of you are looking forward to it... LOL.

Have fun!!! :lol:

Cheers,
ning

Ah... Wait until my neck become longer already.
Clue 3 Clue 3!!! :P

A.

Wah lau! You guys are SCARY!:wacko:

Within 3 mins of releasing the checkpoint 3 someone has found it! :blink:

Argh..... I am so slow!!!
Damn damn. I must go and brush up my skills!!! :(

A.

YOU GUYS ARE INHUMAN!! :blink: :wacko: :blink: :wacko:

10 mins and 4 have solved Stage Two!! :ph43r:

Anyways....
The first to find Checkpoint 3 is Yu Heng Tay. But the first to find Checkpoint 4 is Timothy Hor, which took 3.3 mins to get from Checkpoint 3 to clearing Checkpoint 4. :blink:

You are not slow at all Adel, you were the 2nd one to find checkpoint 3. About 2 mins after it was released. B)

Inhuman. :unsure:
