Scavenger Hunts and Murder Mysteries

Things are happening at the House of the Seven Gables! I’ve been wandering around the house and have noticed some new things popping up.

If you go to the entrance of the House of the Seven Gables, you might notice a new sign with the numbers “124.” Rickus Maximus has set up a scavenger hunt having to do with Gothic literature and confined feminine space, one of Gothic literature’s major themes. Scour the house and grounds to find and collect objects that have to do with these confined feminine spaces, and when you have reached the end you can take a quiz to measure how much you’ve learned! While doing the scavenger hunt, I took some pictures, but I wouldn’t want to spoil any of the fun….so give the scavenger hunt a try!

Near the entrance to the house you might also notice a dead body. Yes, you read that correctly: a dead body. Veggey Burger and Gilead Destiny have also set up something new around the house. Help to solve this murder mystery–and learn some things about Gothic literature–by taking their horse and carriage tour around the island. Maybe you could solve the mystery!

Here I am, taking a ride on the carriage:

These are not the only exciting things happening in Second Life. Check back for more updates!

Until next time…
