tripfiction treasure hunt

We have set up a 7 day TripFiction treasure hunt starting today. You will have until midnight, Monday 3 October to submit your full answer after the seventh and last clue next Saturday.

You are looking for a full phrase. Letters will be highlighted in previous blogposts and each day we will give you a new relevant link to explore. When you have put all the letters together at the end of day seven, send your answer to [email protected] and the first name out of the hat on the morning of 4 October will receive this bumper prize.

Here’s what to do: Each day from today – Day 1 – we will add a new link on this post so you can find the clues. You will need to look on this post everyday for the new link. Everyday you are looking for 3 letters that are highlighted in text in red – look carefully – put them together and you will build up the phrase, 21 letters in all. It’s as simple as that!

So here we go…….
