WE HAVE A WINNER!
I will announce the winner tomorrow after they get back to me with details.
And I will also post the full solution tomorrow.
But you can all freely discuss the hunt and what parts you have solved.
Congratulations.

The tentacle numbers work on a different paragraph than the rectangles.

For the tentacles...They begin with O. Apply the numbers to the paragraph that begins with O. The name of the cipher used begins with O.
What you get will go with the results from the rectangles. Then you shouldn't need any more hints.

I have been asked if a short answer is okay. Yes. A short answer is fine.
In the rules it reads, "You may be asked to explain the steps of how you arrived at your solution". The reason that is there is unfortunately because people try to take shortcuts. There could be a lot of different ways people take shortcuts. Maybe they didn't purchase the hunts and make an awesome donation to charity and someone else gave them the answer. Maybe they are just spamming me with guesses. Regardless, they didn't do the work and don't deserve to win. So I reserve the right to find out if they did indeed solve the puzzle.
Don't let this scare you. I can usually tell who has been working out the puzzles. You don't have to give a long answer. But if you want to, you can.

In the past, I think I have replied to every single email I have received. But I work at a real job. I have a family and 2 cats. I have chores and normal things to do too. You would be suprised at times how many emails a creator might get in response to their hunt. At times it is overwhelming. So I just put that in there in case I get swamped with answers. I don't think you need to worry...

Thank you Jenny for having me and for providing this platform for us ALL to come together--hunt creators as well as treasure hunters. This is a great event for four great causes and I'm glad to be a part of it.

It sounds like all three groups had a lot of fun and made great memories. Congratulations to all the winners and to TC Treasure hunts for putting on a successful hunt.

ibb.co/nzB9MtMThis one is a "Game of Thrones" themed poem: BLOODY JOFFREY EXCLAIMED, "BEWARE IT, THIS GAME! QUEEN CERSEI'S INSANE, A NUT! TYRION'S ZEAL TOWARD VINO, VODKA, A GLUT! PIROGHI UP!" I couldn't resist the little bit of Pittsburgh influence at the end! The blank tiles were used for a Y and a S. I posted a photo using the actual Scrabble tiles.

From my own experience searching for this one, I was on a very steep hill. I also came face to face with a rattle snake. I may or may not have been in the correct location, but I feel I was fairly close. I didn't proceed to go further because I felt it was too dangerous/beyond my capabilities.
