Thank you all... I so much appreciate all the support towards making the Masquerade Tribute a success.... it certainly wouldn't be without the community - and it is for great causes. To date over $8500 has been given to charity (around 4500 first year, 4000 second year)
I will write up a full summary and recap of all the hunts and prizes given away, and those who contributed to such an awesome 2022 Masquerade Tribute Event, in the coming days - but for now......

video of drawing:Because the hunt remained unsolved on 12/31/22, it was decided a drawing, from all those who donated in the 2022 Tribute, would be held to decide who would receive the prizes for this last hunt. However, it was announced additional entries could be gained in the month of January for those solving portions, and/or discussing the hunt.
Numbers were placed in a bowl and randomly drawn.
Each number corresponded to a name on the list of those who donated. A number, corresponding to a name on the list, for everyone who donated in the Masquerade Tribute 2022 was included in the drawing.
Additional numbers were added for those searchers who gained additional entries.
These were:
Samantha73 – gained 5 (Quest)
Mike6888- gained 5 (Found By)
Mofinn- gained 15 (Nine Reveals, Beginning, and Note Nine)
Pop- gained 20 (Both Riddle Confirmers, The First, and for Finding the Numbers in the Quest)
Puzzledrifter- gained 25 (Nine From, Of The, With, Note Nine (with Mofinn), Those Nine.
I had also placed an additional entry in for Whispa, Pugdaisy, and Tab for joining in on discussions during the last month.
This was the drawing - Congrats again to Samantha73!
