Frequently Asked Questions
What is Casual Playmode?
We understand that Upland Hunts can be competitive and stressful, which means that some players are inevitably left out. For those who would like to try the Hunt without the pressure of competition, this additional hunting tier allows players to complete Upland Hunts at their own pace and try to solve the clues with minimal time pressure. Players who participate in the casual tier will receive 100% of their registration fee (plus a chance to win bonus UPX) for completing the hunt.
How Do Hunts Work?
Once a scavenger hunt begins, you will need to click into the “treasures” menu and select the hunt you previously registered for. Selecting the first location will prompt you with a clue. Each clue will describe the name of the next location in the hunt and you’ll have to use the resources available to you to find out what the address of that location is.
Throughout the hunt, expect to see a variety of different types of clues including ciphered messages, riddles, and historical references. We highly recommend you have Google handy, alongside a pen or pencil with some paper to help you out. You can also discuss the clues with other Uplanders on Discord or In-Game Chat!
