Hi Tan,

This sounds like a good idea but can you tell me how long it will be going on for and is it the first one to get the answer that wins the prize? The reason I ask is that I would like to take part but unfortunately I will be working on that day and wont get home until after five, even so I would still  like to donate :)

Hi Andrea hun

Hmm that's a good point i will change the start of the hunt to 7pm to give workers an even break on the start.  :thanks: :hug:

Yes it will be the 1st to discipher all the clues and post the correct cat related sentence plus last 16th clue's full cat's name after the start of the hunt 7pm now on 1st Oct that wins the prizes and end of hunt.

Count the boys in  ;D They'll have to wait til payday for their Mum to pay though as Riley's vet bills cleared me out! Luckily that's the 30th so just in time  :)

I will be posting the 15 clues on threads over a period of time in a mixed order up to the start of the hunt. (this is so not all the clues are shown all together on recent posts option) :sneaky:

To be even sneakier you could edit other people's posts by adding the clues to their post, that way you couldn't just search for all posts by Tan to find the clues quickly  :sneaky:

I thought that i would add the last clues cat's name to be posted as well as the cat related sentence so peeps can't just guess the sentence's words with out searching for all of the 16 clues  :sneaky: :evillaugh:

Hey, you're not thick at all - it was a veeeeeery long post  :evillaugh:

"All donations to be paid via our Paypal donate button at the bottom of the forum (Please pop a note to say “Treasure hunt fundraiser”) or contact me for other ways to pay ie by chq or bank transfer. All donations to be in by 30th September 2010."

Hope more people can spare a fiver, which when clubbed together can be such a great help to the needy rescues  :)

Just a thought Tan...

The actual treasure hunt part of the fundraiser is only really available to people who are free at 7pm on 1st October. Would it better to pick a winner from all the correct answers from a hat? (Could do it live on Ustream for all to see) That would give everyone a fair shot at winning the fab prizes  ;D

I'm happy to join but don't really understand what is going on lol!  can I do a transfer to the purrs account?

I'm not sure Tan does either  :evillaugh: Woops, sorry - I'll do it to myself :slap:

The way I understand it is that Tan will 'hide' 15 clues in other people's posts in the Rescue & Rehoming section, each clue will lead you on to where the next clue will be and the answer to each clue will be a cats name. Take the first letter of each answer to spell out a cat related sentence, add the name of the cat the last clue is about and that is the winning answer  ;D

Tan has said it's OK to donate via bank transfer or cheque if Paypal is not your thing so if you already have the details that would be fab  ;D

All donations to be paid via our donate button at the bottom of the forum (Please pop a note to say “Treasure hunt fundraiser”) or contact me for other ways to pay ie by chq or bank transfer. All donations to be in by 30th September 2010.

Yeap donations can be made via
-By Credit / Debit card or Paypal account by hitting our donation button at bottom of pages  via Paypal secure system (please pop in notes "Treasure hunt" or pm me to say you have donated this way )
-By chq - All chgs made payable to "Purrs In Our Hearts" (Please pm me and i can give you Purrs addy to send chq to)
-By Bank transfer to the Purrs bank account. (Please pm me and i can pm you the Purrs bank details)

All i ask is that donations are received by Midnight 30th Sept so all the funds raised can be bank transferred equally to Sunny Harbour, Paws Inn, Eight lives and Lost cats Brighton on the 1st Oct to help them through this rough time asap.  :)

Then the hunt can start on the 1st Oct to win the fab prizes. 
I will beforehand pop a summary of the hunt "how it works and what to do"

 :thanks: :hug: so much for all your support for the single run rescue so far  ;D  :hug: :hug:

Keep em comin folks   ;D (here's Sir Bob again!  :-: :innocent: )

Just a fiver and every penny will help our rescues who are sooo busy with little ones at the mo and a chance to win £38 worth of cat goodies.  ;D

Sorry I'm being a bit thick!! I'll happily donate a fiver, but can you only play if you're free at 7pm on 1st October??? It's really not very hard to confuse me!!  ;D

Post by: Tan on September 19, 2010, 17:31:59 PM
 :thanks: :hug:

The 1st clue will be issued to all entrance on the 1st at 7pm but you can hunt when ya like. :)
To be totally equal for timing if some can't play as soon as the 1st clue for the hunt is given out , instead of the 1st to post the correct cat related saying and last cat's name to win the prizes,  we have adjusted it so you pm me your answer when you have done the hunt and all the correct answers will be put into a hat and the winner picked out live a week later.

This will allow peeps to play at their own pace whenever they like within a week from the start of the hunt at 7pm on 1st Oct.

I will pop a summary up in a mo so peeps know how the hunt will run and what to do :)

Ah-ha me hearties  :ok:

Auntie Tan, the Queen of Purrs, has had this great idea for a treasure hunt... the only thing missing is contestants  :wow: Now that's where YOU come in  :naughty:

The long and short of it is that your Mum's or Dad's donate a fiver which goes directly to cat rescue where it's needed most. Your Mum or Dad then gets to have a go at a feline treasure hunt and win great prizes (for us cats of course  :P).

So.... what are you waiting for? Tell your human they can donate via paypal (button at the bottom of the page) or if they prefer cheque of bank transfer - contact Tan, Queen of Purrs, for details how to donate via cheque or bank transfer  ;D

All treasure hunters who give the correct answer go in the Purrs hat and the treasure hunter who's name is picked out wins a stash of cat goodies  :wow:

It will be split into 4 to go to Sunny Harbour, Eight Lives Left, Paws Inn and Lost Cats Brighton. 

I am running a bit late with the set uf of the hunt (family illness) so will get the 1st clues emailed out tonight at 10pm.

Then the hunt is offf ....................

Good luck everyone.

Dont forget - When ya ready with ya answer... PM or email it  Purrs@purrsinourhearts.co.uk (Do not post or ya give your answer away! lol )
Just a recap on how the hunt works ..............


The Hunt
The actual Hunt will start from 1st Oct 10pm when i will PM all entrants the 1st clue.

There will be 16 clues in total for the whole hunt.

Each clue will lead you to a thread about a cat.

Note down the name of that cat and it's 1st letter.
In each thread will be the clue to find the next thread and that cat's name and so on till you have 16 cats names.  The clues will be posted in various members posts   on the 1st page of the thread.

I think they're a great idea but for me the questions took a bit too long, I even considered billing you for my time at one point  :evillaugh:

No

Only if I can win

I'd like the clues to not be about cats. I think the songs of Kylie, What happened in Camden school between 1981-87 or people related to Simon Stone would be very easy topics to use for a quiz.

Seriously everybuddy Thank you, that £55 used wisely can go a long way, for example Tescos have offer on pouches at present works out 24 pouches for £4 thats equal to 6 per £1 so 6 x55 equals 330 cat meals.
Please dont say my maths are wrong its been a long day.

Thank you All  :hug:

Well done Ann and well done evryone for raising some much needed funds for the wonderful rescues.

I've been following the thread and its been cracking me up! Si, you are such a wind up (and don't try and play innocent).

Because of interviews and other "grown up" stuff this week I just didn't have the time to do the hunt (obviously was still glad I was able to donate) so pleeeeaaaassssse do another one Tan so I can actually have a go at the questions (before arranging please can you let me know so I can check my diary and let you know when I'm free ;D)

Hi guys, not been on pc over the weekend so have just realised I won  :Crazy:  Am so excited, never expected to win because I genuinely (hoots of disbelief from Si here  :rofl:) never usually win anything. Am having a bit of a rough time with work stuff at the mo so it has really cheered me up  :thanks:

Thanks for doing this Tan it was great fun and raised a nice little bit of dosh for the rescues.

Si I promise I won't do Purringo this week  :rofl:

Sadly Si I didn't win the lottery but then as I didn't buy a ticket that's hardly surprising  :rofl:
