When messages show in the "outbox", it means that the person has not read it yet. When they read it, it will be removed from your outbox

TBC has a hide and seek kinda game going with the deck. orderoftheowl.com is where you start

Answers to the riddles are based on what is in and on the box (I think. I am still working on it)

Yup, I love how these card companies single out collectors who never open their decks... I'll just wait until someone posts the answers on Google...

The question 2 is not just simply sequence = answer.
You have to use the sequence to decode sth.

Thank you phantom1412.
May I ask if I need to focus on the first 7 cards to make a sentence or calculation please?

Oh, I want to cry...........
May I ask if the answer is a WORD, a sentence or a NUMBER please?

Well, then I'm pretty much screwed as my decks are still in the mail and even then, I'm not planning on opening them anyways. I really wish these card companies would realize some of us don't open our decks. :evil:

well cards are meant to be taken out of the box and to be played with.
And for those who do that are able to play the hunt.
It´s not that it cost you a small fortune...what was it like $7 bucks a deck....just skip your next coffee at star bucks and you are fine ;)

PS: I haven´t received my brick neither and will probably not able to hunt as well. :(

I stalled out on q2. X_x

Which kinda sucks since I figured out the gaff card and box things that are further down the line.

From The Blue Crown Facebook Site :
Wow - we are blown away by the speed at which people have been solving our Altruism hunt!

Like any true treasure hunt - there were only a few prizes to be claimed, 5 to be exact. All 5 prizes have now been claimed.

We still encourage folks who love brain teasers and puzzles to finish the hunt - you may discover a few extra secrets about the deck that you didn't know were there!
:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
5 Prices for all of this big mambo jambo around the secrets are everywhere?
I ordered them from the very first minute and thanks to their delay in shipping are my decks still in transit.
Would have been nice to at least had a chance to participate as a international customer.
Well lesson learned...i´m dissapointed on this Treasure Hunt for 5 prices.... :roll: :?

Yeah... I'm going to go ahead and call a major B.S. on that statement... :D
Sure, in your eyes they may be. In my eyes, I literally cringe on Ebay when I see opened packs of rare decks or watch "undecking" video on youtube...
You've got to remember there's more than one group of people who are passionate about decks and we prefer not to open ours. You and the card companies should take that into account. :)

Besides, it looks like another botched marketing campaign to begin with... only 5 special items were available??? Those people who haven't even received their decks yet in the mail are going to be pretty pissed off...

I ordered first day as well and still yet to receive anything. Combined with the printing screw up, well I won't be having anything more to do with them as a company.

Did not bluecrown say they were going to be a different type of card company.
seems like they are the same
.I am glad people are enjoying the cards but I do not like this hidden meaning thing.
I hope it is a fad that passes quickly.

Why would they make 5 prizes? They know that hundreds of people will be trying to get it, so why?
