eXtension Second Life Meetup and Scavenger Hunt

I ran a little professional development event in Second Life today. It was a scavenger hunt/webquest type of thing. The object was to use a list of clues to find 10 locations in Second Life and prove you were there. Trophies for the winners (well, virtual trophies). It was pretty successful, and I will likely do this once every couple of months.

Would you like to try it? here are the clues/challenges:
