The hunt is over! Congratulations to everybody that was able to solve a puzzle and claim their prize and we’d like to express our gratitude to fun, jarunik, goose, Mike, ark.business, cam’s yellow jacket, echo, and pieface for donating to this year’s prize pool. This year’s hunt was 10x bigger and better than last year’s and we couldn’t have done it without the generous support from the ARK community. We hope you had fun and we’ll see you again next year.
