Oh, and in case anyone is interested, the prize value has increased to over $380. I found a few more cool things I couldn't resist!

I have received a lot of submissions recently and there are a few repeating themes, so again, to help keep you on track, here are topics that are NOT part of the solution:
Sports, any specific web page or IP address, and despite the appearance, circuses and zoos.
The clues I have posted are for the hunt, not for what to look for on the internet :-)
Have fun and good luck!

Solving the hints seems to be the easy part. Understanding them has been the tough part. Again with this one it feels like it's an "aha!" and then nothing pans out. Given that we aren't supposed to be using google right now there must be something encoded on the page. And for the life of me I can't figure out what it is or where it is despite having lots of ideas. Honestly this just further confirms a a failed theory we've. It updated our understanding of the theory but we hit the same dead ends when accounting for the detail in the hint.

Feel free to use google to double check ideas or connections you find in the hunt, I'm just saying that the clues I've posted so far are designed to help you approach the hunt. They do not expand the information that is already on the map page.
It is still early, and there will be more hints, but I don't want to reveal too much too soon!
Feel free to send me questions for clarification - I'll answer what I can, and what I can't, I'll put aside for future hints :-)
Good luck to everyone and keep the solutions coming! Before confirming or ruling out a suggestion, I may ask how you came to your answer.

I am still not sure on the original clue, I am able to use every letter only with anagrams and even then get 13 while it looks like others have 14 words, so I am sure I haven't picked up on the pattern. If there are no anagrams I am at square one. lol.

I know its in there, I feel like I'm in a roundabout and keep missing my exit, or entrance?

I have started to receive a large number of submissions per day - thank you all for your participation and hard work!
So that I can respond appropriately to all of them, I ask that when you send in a submission for confirmation of half of the hunt, you explain the method you used on the hunt to get to that answer.
In the interest of time, and to make sure I know what it is you are submitting and how you got there, I will no longer respond to submissions that have no explanation of method.
In addition, I ask that if you have any questions about the hunt, please post them here on the forum. This way, I can reply publicly so everyone has the same information at the same time.
As long as it doesn't become too overwhelming, I will not limit the number of submissions per day, but I do need to see a method for your answers.
Thanks and good luck!

Will you be releasing a hint on how to solve the hint, ha? Thanks!

While we all wait to find out who solved Squid Game, here is something for you to ponder:
Does the answer involve the three numbers not present in the sequence? 2, 7, and 9 are missing and correspond to the letters BGI which can anagram to BIG?

Don't know if you can answer this, but does the question What is Left? pertain only to how to solve this, or does it relate to the hint itself?
