Neat puzzle. Only 1 thing shows up on google after solving this and I don't see it being the thing I need. So I'll be patiently waiting for a clue to explain how to use this clue. At this point, it only needs to be applied to the hunt. Googling comes later :-)

At this point, it only needs to be applied to the hunt. Googling comes later :-) I totally believe it's obvious and I'm just missing it. It feels like it's telling me exactly what to do. And 3 different times I thought I understood it. But never able to get out anything useful.

I had a few people who asked how to approach the cipher in the clue I posted. So to clarify, the clue does not use a cipher.
Good luck!

It has been brought to my attention that I may have misspoken regarding the clue not being a cipher. Although I didn't know it, there are names for how I configured it. So technically, I guess there is a cipher, although when I put it together, I didn't know this!
Having said that, because I didn't even know there was a name for it, you don't need a cipher translator to solve what it says. You just need to analyze it carefully.
Sorry for any confusion, and good luck!

When I look at this clue puzzle I feel overwhelmed. But I worked on it yesterday and did solve "something". Now whether it's the intended solution or not I don't know. I ended up with 15 words total, if anyone wants to to corroborate. My solution is 14 words. 14 it is!

For those of you still stuck on the hint:
Follow part of the instructions in the border of the hunt, and use every letter.
Good luck!

Was stuck on Knight's Tour, but it is far simpler.

I understand the concept of the hint and going around and around, but I’m still missing something because I can only get so far before I can’t make a logical word. I’m assuming I’m missing an obvious “path” to take or not transposing letters the correct way. Has anyone noticed that two locations seem to fit together? Like the gift shop and information are both blue buildings, the haunted house and fortune teller use purple and green stripes, etc?

I have started getting submissions and before too many of you go down too many rabbit holes, I want to explain the title of the hunt, Rex's Adventure.
The hunt is named for my cat, Rex, who died just before Christmas as I was working on the hunt and searching for a title. His full name was Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the only thing he was king of was trouble! Rex did help me with the hunt, sitting on and walking across the keyboard, so any typos I'll blame on him
For me, this was both a tribute to Masquerade, my first hunt, and to Rex, my cat.
This doesn't rule out the possibility of a king connection, but it doesn't confirm it either. If there is a connection, it isn't the main focus of the hunt.
The always-helpful Rex:

Rex looks like he was a cool cat. Great way to honor him.

Thank you all for kind words regarding Rex. I wasn't going to mention him until after the hunt was over, but when I saw a few responses based on the name of the hunt, I didn't want to lead anyone off track.
I will be posting another real hint tomorrow :-)
