YAY - More than 500 Hunters in 3 Days!


Not even three days of hunting and we already had this afternoon our hunter No. 500. Eolene Uralia, part of the Sanity Falls builders team and participating shop owner (Peachy Keen) was so excited, that she spontaneously decided to donate a prize of 500 Linden for the 500. hunter.

So the team waited with tense and the winner was Janina Scarmon Silversmith.

   
The beautiful model was really surprised as she never won a Linden Dollar prize in a MadPea game before. Of course we wanted to take a group picture and we met for a beer at the Sanity Falls Inn. Eolene appeared as rubber doll, which also is to be seen in the hunt. After we finished laughing about the rubber doll we took our photo:

From right to left: Eolene Uralia, Rinn Silversmith, Janina Scarmon Silversmith and me

Janina could not wait to start hunting and said: “This is my fifth Madpea Hunt and each one is better than the last!   MADPEA is the BEST!!  :D“

Thank you Janina Scarmon Silversmith and happy (or shall we better say scary?) hunting!

Sanity Falls Prizes: ~*Es Stylez*~

Today we talk to Layla Meridoc, owner of ~*Es  Stylez*~


MadPea: Thank you for participating the Sanity Falls hunt. Madpea is looking forward to a great event that all SL will talk about. Tell our readers about your work and your products.

Layla Meridoc: I design what I like to call everyday styles for men and women. That is a rather general term for saying I have varied interests and I don't really focus on just one kind of item. By that I mean I have a eclectic selection of fashions including  shoes, swimsuits, jeans,T-shirts, balls gowns, club dresses and everything in between. What I create depends on the mood I'm in or the "light bulb moment" when an idea comes to me.
 When I began designing 2 years ago I didn't know the first thing about building. I took some basic classes that are offered inworld, but my photoshop skills are self taught. Everything I learned , I learned from my mistakes. And I work hard to constantly learn new skills and improve. I am proof that love of fashion and focus on detail are not exclusive to those who majored in Graphic design in College.

My motto is if "I won't wear it than why would I expect you to?"  Part of my quality control is that every single item I sell is first worn by myself, my friends and my husband to double check quality , detail and flow.

MadPea: And what is your prize for the hunters?


Layla Meridoc: Oh I was  inspired by the texture on the Sanity Falls poster to design an exclusive Hunt  Mesh hoodie with an altered version of the poster as a decal on back (with permission from the texture's owner) . Along with the hoodie  (in male and female versions)  is a T-shirt and torn jeans (unisex).

MadPea: Finally, which 2nd prize is waiting for the hunters at the end?


Layla Meridoc: I had a lot of fun creating that prise. It's a back pack chock full of items one might use on a crime spree.

Madpea: Thank you for the short interview.

Sanity Falls Hunt - How to Start?


Sanity Falls is an immersive hunt, which is scary, haunting and considered mature. You will experience flashing lights, ghost effects, disturbing effects and sounds. 


 Here is the story:

You will become Alexander Blackwell, a well-known psychologist, who’s burnt out due to the excessive amount of work he’s been doing lately. He came to Sanity Falls for a holiday with his wife, Livea to recharge his batteries and find happiness and feel something in his life again. You find the complete avatar at the landing point.

Alexander Blackwell (Alex): “I’m waking up with metallic taste of blood tainting my mouth. I look at my clothes and see blood everywhere, but I don’t feel any pain or see any wounds. It probably isn’t my blood. I try to think but realize that I have no memory of the last 24 hours. The last thing I remember is coming to Sanity Falls with my wife. I feel dizzy, someone must have drugged me.

Groggy and confused, I stagger onto my feet and call out for Livea. When silence answers me back, I become aware of my surroundings. I am on the edge of a bridge overlooking the Sanity River. In the puddle of blood beside me lays a phone. It starts ringing..”



How to get started:

Purchase the HUD for 100L and wear it. It will set in its correct position on your screen. You must wear the hud to be able to get clues and prizes. You are also given an avatar to truly become Alex and immerse yourself into the story better.


Allow the Windlight settings when entering Sanity Falls. It will set the atmosphere for you. Reduce draw distance to 200 max. and turn up the sounds. Please remove facelights and heavily scripted objects.

 
The island is interactive and the gameplay is typical point and click. Look for puzzles and solutions, the more you learn about the story, the more immersive it gets.

 
The main things to find inside the town are posters that look like this:


But there is more to find!

If you have found a poster:

When you dial the number of the poster in the HUD you get a hint and a slurl. Your HUD marks it by highlighting it. Teleport to the location by using the slurl and find an envelop that looks like this:


When you have found an envelope your hud marks it as found and you will receive an instant prize.
  
!!! You can use the Home button on HUD to teleport back to Sanity Falls at any time. Once you have found all 50 posters and envelopes, follow HUD instructions. You will be rewarded. !!!

 
Where to get help?

To discuss about the hunt or ask for help, you can join the MadPeas group and talk in group chat. We will also post clues and happenings on our facebook page & blog:

How long will the hunt run?

The hunt runs until June 30st. So don't panic when it will be too crowded the first days!

And where to start?
