A wild Goose Chase!
Goose' Summer Scavenger Hunt running from the 10th - 24th August.
There will be 12 items you will need to identify in total. Each day I will post a clue, of which will remain for 24 hours. Within that 24 hour window you need to identify the item I have sent you to find, and send me an in game message with the item as the subject line. Each successful guess will gain 1 point. There may be bonus points to earn, make sure you read the message carefully.
If you sent a guess and later realise it was wrong, send another, however I will only count the last message you send me.
The winner or winners will share a bursting prize pot.
None of the items will be exceptionally difficult to identify, so consistency is key.
The wild Goose chase is over!
Firstly, apologies for the week delay in getting the results posted after I kept you all hunting for 2 weeks! I had my Birthday followed by a vacation and time got away from me. Upon reflection, next year I'll have it end before my Birthday... yes we will be back again in 2024!

Day 13 & 14 of the wild Goose chase!
The final "clue" was an adventure which can be found again here. The item I was looking for was "Strange Ring".
I was also looking for the following "secrets"; Fire Ant, Milk, Blue Purse and You... because you are the real treasure 😍
Day 12 of the wild Goose chase!
The clue was "If you were born in July, you may be familiar with this item. Claude certainly loved them!". The item I was looking for was "Water Lily" and I had 6098 in my inventory.
The solution for todays clue lay in "Born in July" and "Claude". Each month has a couple of Birth flowers, and for July one of them are water lillies. The Claude clue was a reference to Claude Monet, who painted around 250 paintings in a series called Water Lilies.
Day 11 of the wild Goose chase!
Day 11 was a rest day - It was not a trick! Nothing happened.
Day 10 results update for The Wild Goose Chase
The clue was "What does the fox say?". The item I was looking for was "Apple"
The solution for today's answer was to go to my profile and look at the name of my pet fox.
Day 9 results update for The Wild Goose Chase
The clue was "01101110 01110010 01101000 01100011 01110010 01110100 01110100 01100010". The item I was looking for was "Butter Churn".. I had 6152 in my inventory.
The solution to this one was to convert binary code into ASCI to get nrhcrttb. If you flip this, you get bttrchrn. Next you needed to add the missing vowels to find Butterchurn and then Butter Churn.
Day 8 results update for The Wild Goose Chase
The clue was "Not usually a contest you want to win". The item I was looking for was "Gold Catfish".. I had 1234 in my inventory.
I thought today would be an easy one, but I think this game was getting in your heads too much 👀. The solution to this one was simply typing the clue into the search bar of your inventory, as it's the item description for Gold Catfsih. Note, below screenshot was taken after the original total in inventory had been tallied...
Day 7 results update for The Wild Goose Chase
The clue was "Solving the word search is just the beginning, find the answer you seek within what remains". The item I was looking for was "Pearl", you will see below why no other answer will be accepted... despite many claiming there were 2 answers. I had 6044 in my inventory.
You were provided a list of words, and a wordsearch.
Upon finding all the words instructed (yes, they were all there!) using the remaining letters from top left working to the right it spelled "THE ITEM YOU NEED TO FIND AND MESSAGE GOOSE WITH IS PEARL". I spelled it out for you guys!

Day 6 results update for The Wild Goose Chase
The clue was "If you're looking for the answer, you should take 10 minutes 'till you get your reward". The item I was looking for was "Radish". However... throughout the day I learned that the full clue also directly points toward another item... so I am also accepting "Straw". Oops.
This clue was referencing waiting 10 minutes, so we know we are looking for something that takes 10 minutes to produce, the next part of the clue was using 'till, instead of until, this referencing the agricultural term for tilling a field. So the item had to be something that is a crop and takes 10 minutes (base time) being a radish. This also linked to straw in the exact same way through the hayfield!
Day 5 results update for The Wild Goose Chase
The clue was "Buddy wishes he hadn't lost his crown, he can hardly bear it". The item I was looking for was "Pirate Bandana". There were 1831 in my inventory (for the bonus points).
This clue was referencing buddy being a pirate, and a crown being something worn on your head. In addition, if you throw a pirate bandana into the wishing well, you will get a carved bear (intentional mis-spelling of bare).
Day 4 of the wild Goose chase!
Day 4 was a rest day - It was not a trick! Nothing happened.
Day 3 results update for The Wild Goose Chase
The clue was "Join the adventure in Goose's world of social media fame! Seek out the post that holds the secret to your prize.", the item I was looking for was "Onion Soup". There were 1385 in my inventory (for the bonus point).
This clue was a little different from the previous days, and instead was intended to direct you to social media to find me, this could have been achieved by searching Instagram or Twitter for #FarmRPG or by clicking the new "Don't @ me" section of this website, which would have directed you to both of the posts.
Day 2 results update for The Wild Goose Chase
The clue was "A sweet treat to enjoy during a hot day, but Buddy would rather keep away. Find the kitchen in Redbrook, and look for a shelf. When the hot days come around, it's the treat friends love best, but Buddy would rather have a cool and crisp glass of water", the item I was looking for was "Lemonade".
The clue pointed you in the direction of the kitchen, which was a slight red herring as the item is not crafted in the kitchen, however it's where you would expect to see a bottle of lemonade. Many people enjoy lemonade on a hot day. This is an item Buddy would avoid, as he "hates" lemonade.
Day 1 results update for The Wild Goose Chase
The clue was "I'll send an SOS to the world", the item I was looking for was "MIAB / Message in a bottle".
The clue was a reference to sending a distress signal via a message in a bottle, and was a direct quote from the song "Message in a Bottle" by The Police.
