There goes the day
On the way- Mega Kitchen Prize Pack......
got 3 so far
Weird i've found 4 so far yet the site is telling me 5 to go
Lol I should learn to count
Well.....there goes my productive day of work! I have such a love/hate relationship with these hunts Mighty Ape!!!
Does this show on the mobile sites as well or just the desktop site?
Awesome this will give me something to do today :P
Seven down, but the last eludes me...
Eight, rather - clearly my brain is exhausted already!
make that 5
found Bad Egg by accident, dunno how it relates to the product though, so now the other clues have confused me even more :|
And there goes number nine - all done! Woohoo!
Found one!
@Ainsley – yes, the puzzle pieces will display on mobile.
three left and i think i am gonna feel stupid when i do figure them out
Where are you!!!! Hot or Not!!!!!
. o O ( Oh come on, what else could I look up? Maybe... no. Damnit, I'll just look in the category and maybe someth- )
*face palm* Duh.
Hey, If you find all 9 puzzle pieces are you entered into all three prize draws or just the draw for the laptop bundle?
@Alice – yes, if you find all nine puzzle pieces you will be entered into all three prize draws!
That Mega Kitchen Prize Pack shall be mine!
Cannot get the last two - arghhhh!
Stuck on Hot or not others were easy
Let's get started
Hot or Not - don't think I've ever facepalmed that hard before! It seemed the hardest
GOT EM ALL!!! ONE OF THEM IS A KILLER!
*Sees the email.* Challenge accepted!
whew all done! hot or not and hamilton were the longest for me to find
And the love-hate relationship continues....
Got 'em... I did get close to flipping my table over with frustration.
Bahahaha that Not Hot one was just mean!
That Kākāriki clue is doing my head in haha. Have the rest so I know I am in the right category. Probably something extremely obvious that I am missing :P
Finally! Finished! Hot or Not was tricky. I overthought that one and wasted so much time searching for it. Turns out, it wasn't so difficult. Good luck everyone still searching.
i think i'm over thinking the whole lot. having a lunch break in the hope brain food might help. i should be buying birthday pressie not wasting time.
4 down....can i get a free one if I point out that you meant discreet not discrete??
Bad Egg and Hot or Not are really throwing me off.
Man this is tougher than last time. I got one of them completely by accident but I have no idea about which one it matches to.
I have been stuck on Hot or not for a while now. Might have to take a break and try again later
These are the kind of hunts I like! Some are easy, some are hard, so I don't feel completely stuck :D
Can't get Hamilton or Hot or Not
I only found 7! Can't seem to find the others... so I'm going to settle for the Amateur prize pack. Errrm... yay!
Gah this is driving me crazy. I have Pigtails, Hot or Not, and Hamilton left.
ahhhh! finally. I've only wasted half the day, but I've found them all. Worth it! LOL
8 of 9 so far, only Hamilton left so I know which category to look in but it's still difficult. :/
Finally made it. Only took half the day, what to do now though?
WOOOOOOO! Got them all!
YES got them all! Felling pretty chuffed with myself :) Thanks MA!
I miss the coloured eggs! Then I knew if I found something I was sure of which clue that related to once finding it - now I'm stuck on the last clue and have no idea which of two categories it belongs to ;-;
Correction: not sure of which clue I'm looking for in my last category!
@Lauren – if you go back to the puzzle pieces that you have found and match them up to the numbered image above in the blog post you will be able to figure out which pieces/clues you are looking for :)
Ah perfect! Now I know what clue I'm looking for at least :) & it was one of the two I'd narrowed it down to :P
@Lauren – Nice work. Keep it up :D
YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH I should be doing my school work right now...
I wonder if they can show up multiple times in a category. I mean I've only found two... and the rest are a bit... ahem... puzzling for me.
Hot or Not has got me stumped. I've got some ideas of what it could be but can't find it. Last one to get
hahaha been going at this the whole day ... Hot or Not is the only one I can't seem to get ... I'm going blind ...
All done - thanks for a worth challenge Mighty Ape :)
Phew! That took a while, a few curve balls in there had me thinking.
@Kyle got all 9 before 9AM, holy cow! Taken me all day to get these. Ugh. Nice.
Success! Wow that was a challenge, 'Hot or Not' definitely takes home the prize for toughest to find - tricky, yet painstakingly obvious in the end. Cool new UI Mighty Ape :)
@Michael – Kyle is a beast!
There is always one ...
Yay. Got all the pieces! Good luck everyone!
Woohoo found them all
OMGosh might ape!!! Quite possibly the best kitchen prize pack ever! I'm KEEEEEENNN :D Sign me up! No guesses as to what i'll be doing tonight ;)
hot or not is so going to be the death of me
:( same here ... dont know how people got it ...
I must've looked through more than 10,000 products
lol very fun and adicting found hamilton as my number 7 boy did i find that by accdent lol stuck on pigtails and hot or not
GRRRRRR stuck on last one Bad Egg
Bad egg is difficult :-/ Trade you for Hot or Not? :P
I found bad egg and didn't even realise it was bad egg actually thought it was a different hint lol.
so far i've found 8/9 hot or not is currently ripping my arm of and slapping me with it
I managed to find them all this time! Somehow managed to mix two clues up and spent a very long time confused. Thanks Mighty Ape :D
found one... I'm not good at this.
FINALLY GOT THEM ALL> thanks mighty ape good luck to all of you
3 down 6 to go my brain hurts.
Hot not cold, has been eating my head for a few hours now.
I can tell you that by searching for things I have discovered that the search goes haywire if it can't find it in a particular category. There have been things showing up that are not even close to what I searched for.
Grrr...Hot or not where are you?
I have found them all how do i actually register for the prize?
Omg hot or not still eludes me :( I can't believe it ... its taken twice as long to get those one as all the others put together!
i cannot for the life of figure out what Hamilton is! i swear i have gone through over 2000 products looking for it
Hardest one yet.
That Hot or Not was a killer, but got there in the end
just found it! i am now done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cannot find one not even number eight!!!
Finally finished took me 6 hours
Gosh that was hard, all done now though :)
Found them all now! That was quite fun this round!
Excellent work hiding the pieces. Took me a few good hours but worth it once you figure it out.
I finally found the hot or not yay all pieces done.
Hot or Not is not happening, nor is Hamilton. Although I've narrowed down the final two categories I think.
This is totally doing my head in! any vague extra hints from anyone out there whos deciphered hot or not and kakariki? (and not just the "its obvious when you don't overthink it" hint) Please - help a chickie out :D
Uggghhh Hamilton? HAMILTON? Haaaaamilton? Hamiltooooon? I think I'm going crazy from not being able to find the final puzzle piece!
And I really need a laptop that doesn't freeze when I boot it, so I just gotta... keep.. searching...
This "hot or not" clue is giving me a lot of trouble and it's my last one
Hot or Not finally found it devious little monkeys thought I knew what it was but finding the actual product took a while...!!
Jeez guys good hunt as usual but seriously, hot or not? Barely a clue! you should be ashamed of yourself :P really though it was good fun. got them all in an an hour HALF OF WHICH was spend on hot or not!!!! cheers =)
Found them all YAY!
Finally got there - that hot or not clue was killer.
Puzzle Piece 6 You tricky clue you. I still can't figure it out and all I can see from the comments is I'm going to hate myself once I get it
I've only found one, can't believe some have found them all lol I'm struggling...
Found them all! And yes I do hate myself for not getting it sooner....
I slept on it, woke up, and STILL don't know the Hot or Not one... How is evading me so much... I feel like I've browsed every possibility...
FINALLY. Decided to go back through and click on EVERY product in the smaller category... That Hot or Not one really is a killer... Don't think too hard, people!
Well #5 bad egg Reeaaally !! found them all Now off to the barbers to see if he can fix my bald patches !!!!
I'm going to Spend all day on this until I catch em all
Only took me 2 days. Hamilton came pretty quickly today but Hot or Not took a bit longer. Hang in there...
Just completed! #5 & #6 were the toughest for me. I was lucky to stumble across #5, so it narrowed down the search for #6. Finally found it and thanks to Mighty Ape for another great challenge!
What a difference 24 hours makes ... finally!!!!!!
The sense of achievement is overwhelming ... I need to go to specsavers because I've been straining my eyes looking at the screen for far too long!
yyyyyeeeessss love these
7/9 found. Can't find 6 & 7.
5 and 7 have eluded me will try again tommorow
I'm still stuck on Hamilton, Hot or Not and Kakariki. Despite that feeling pretty happy I managed to work out the other ones.
Got them all. Nearly gave up altogether on Hot or Not. Time for bed now.
So if you find them all do you just wait?
Still trying to find Hot or Not, Hamilton, Explosive sound and bad egg.
Wow, the Hot or Not did a number on me!!! That took far too long, and was super frustrating :P
Impossible when the computer takes 5 minutes to load a page :(
Finally, i've found them all, boy, some of these were very hard. Was pulling my hair out over a couple. Was fun though. Good Luck to anyone still searching.
Yay, all done!
arghhhhhhhhhh ..... stuck stuck stuck!~~~
1 to go that bad egg is so confusing, at least i know the category for certain now
yay just found the last one, wasn't as punny as the rest. It's more entertaining when the clues have double meanings ;P
When you stumble upon a piece, but have no idea which clue goes with it (the DVD one)
Actually cannot find anymore - some of these are just too vague :(
This hot or not piece is impossible.
Finally found them all after 2 days :D
Pieces 7,6, and 3 took way longer to find than the rest.
Eight down. Just Hot or Not left.
Yayyyyy....its 4am in the morning and I need to work soon, but i dont careeeee!!!! I did it all! In my first night. I've only completed one other hunt I think. And I did it on my very broken cracked screen laptop hahahaa. Maybe I'll win...will be a lifesaver
Well that was fun. Took me a while but got there in the end. Good luck everyone!
Just found the last one I needed. Yay.
It gave me a good way about the new site... and I hate it. The old one was more clear and easier to navigate. and looked better. (sorry but just being honest)
YUS! Found them all! Now, back to work...
Doneburgers, that was a great hunt
Took me an hour but I finally found success! Just crossing fingers now.
3 that are tearing my hair out
Two pieces left, 13,000 products and less than 12 hours to go... I concede and prepare to rip my hair out when the answers are revealed
Found 'em... but really think 7 "clue" is stretching it. Couldn't find anything in the product listing actually relative.
@Ana Maea Chitara The clue does make perfect sense if you know that particular thing, the clue is deliberately confusing
Finally found then all, Hot or Not was the hardest. Good Luck everybody :)
Completed! I'm honestly crossing my fingers so much for tomorrow!!
Wow that was more difficult than last time but at the same time not completely obscure. Good luck every one.
Is puzzle piece 1 in Books, puzzle 2 in DVDs & Blu-ray, puzzle 3 in Games ... in that order. Is that how the clues work?
@Lesley – The clues are in no particular order. They could be in any of those categories. There is one piece per category.
I love these so much! Thanks Mightyape
Was stuck on 'bad egg' and 'hot or not' since this morning. 'Bad egg' clicked, then while browsing the last category got sidetracked looking at cool things and found the last one by accident - don't know how I would have found it otherwise,.
Thanks Mighty Ape!
Yay! finally found them all, after a little elimination and a couple of hours.
Who won? I found them all but never heard back?!
