Wheel of time fans. Big news for you. We are going to do a great hunt this tour. Details to come on my website soon.
I will give out the first Great Hunt Code at the midnight release tonight. I will tweet how you can get it soon.
Want the Great Hunt clue? I’m thinking of a WoT character who has a viewpoint for the 1st time in A Memory of Light . Make a guess in person here at BYU.
First person to guess right IN PERSON to me tonight gets the clue. One guess each. Good luck!
Nobody has guessed the name right yet for the code. If you have a guess, and you know someone here, call them and have them ask.
So @BrandSanderson is doing #wotgh again. Don’t forget the tag. If you’re at his signing guess Taim or Logain. One or the other guaranteed.
Wrong. It was Tam al’Thor.
Do you know who got the clue?
My friend Kyle and I.
But did @BrandSanderson give you a code to enter on his website? That’s what he did last time, and it looks like it’s entered.
Well then I guess you know that gave him one then…
It has been guessed. The character with a viewpoint for the first time in A Memory of Light is Tam.
I got a picture of him with Brandon and the code, but no name.—Kerry
Here’s a pic of the clue itself: http://t.co/SWhnyD7r
I put up a blog post about the new Wheel of Time Great Hunt that kicked off Tuesday morning. http://brandonsanderson.com/blog/1032/New-Wheel-of-Time-Great-Hunt
I will have a couple #wotgh codes for the signing today. However, until then, know that several of these are very guessable…
I will give out the first Great Hunt Code at the midnight release tonight. I will tweet how you can get it soon.
San Diego airport bookstore (near Gate 35) has signed Alloy of Law and Towers. No #wotgh clues, as it is behind security.
If I do hide one behind security, I’ll pick a major hub. A former Stormleader did find me here and ask for a code. (I gave her one.)
Thanks for code #2 @BrandSanderson!! See you at the signing! =D
Code Number 2: TREES BY COUNTRY
First person who guesses the name of the first viewpoint in the A Memory of Light prologue and tells me in person gets a code.
This will be hard as they are a new character. So guess who they work for, and that will be enough.
For the clue: this person is in someone’s army. Guess which army. I don’t know if you will get it tonight.
You have to ask in person for this clue, guys.
Nobody guessed the right army. Here is a list of tonight’s guesses. http://twitpic.com/7cmqdb
Also, “The Dark One’s” army or “Army of the Light” does not count. The army’s specific name or direct commander is needed.
I’ll do some #wotgh clues for internet guessing soon. I want a few of the codes to be revealed first so you can get a feel for their theme.
Nobody has guessed (in person to me) the army the first Viewpoint in A Memory of Light comes from. Come to my Huntington Beach signing tonight & guess.
Nobody has guessed the army of the starting viewpoint of A Memory of Light yet to win a #wotgh code. I’ll post the list of guessed armies soon.
For now, I have a clue for you to try guessing a clue on-line. You might want to coordinate with Theoryland or Dragonmount on this.
Here’s your clue for the internet code (different from the army one): Felix Pax. Try your guess on the Great Hunt page of my website.
As always, @terez27 has an excellent summary page up for you all. Is there a list of failed guesses somewhere? http://bit.ly.wotgh
I took a picture of the list last night, I was just about the last person through, so I think we are up to date :)
Did you upload the picture anywhere for me to retweet?
List of armies: http://twitpic.com/7cyrd9 and there is a list of failed attempts on the same document: http://bit.ly/t4HgxV
List of wrong guesses last night for the #wotgh code. This one must be guessed in person. http://twitpic.com/7d5uu6
The army clue for #wotgh has been guessed! I won’t post it here; some don’t like spoilers. It should be on Terez’s page I posted yesterday.
Felix’s clue has yet to be guessed, even by him. People have been close, though. A hint is this: (more)
The code, which comes from RJ’s notes, uses a word that I believe was NEVER used in the series.
Many are thinking the word is “Magic.” That is the right idea—but not the right word.
Circus?
You are a very smart person. Now you need some more words to go with your guess. Input them on my site.
Invalid #wotgh codes: Circus Folk; Circus Show Folk; Seanchan Circus of Blood; Southern Circus; Circus of Winds; Imperial Circus
You are very close. It’s more simple than that. Keep trying; I view this code as being ‘yours.’
Also, it has come to my attention that people might be poking fun at you because I singled you out. If it’s the case, I’m sorry.
It wasn’t my intention; I just thought you, in specific, would be interested in this code…
Back in the US! I hid a code in the Simply Books at MSP airport gate G15. This is behind security, so get it if you are flying through.
MSP has signed books in both the G15 bookstore and the one on the middle of the C gates. (C12ish?) Code hidden in the G15 store.
Could the person who got code #6 and entered it tell everyone what it was?
Was that the one at MSP? Flying through G terminal there today.
It was at G15, though someone may have grabbed it by now. There are signed books there too, though… :)
OK, so, give us a great hunt clue :)
Ha. Okay, The one about the Aes Sedai is fairly easy to guess, I think. It even has “Aes Sedai” in it.
It also has some punctuation in it, though, of an organizational nature.
Layover in Atlanta; signed the books in the Buckhead bookstore near the center of the B Gates. I hid a code in one. This is behind security.
Just got recognized on the plane by a reader. He should have asked for a #wotgh code. Anyone grab that one in the atlanta airport yet?
Book and code acquired. Glad I checked twitter before I got on the plane!
Looks like @TheMikaus got the Atlanta code. Nice work! #wotgh. I’m off to Houston, assuming this plane ever takes off…
Ha! So a guy who recognized me on the plane must have friends who follow my posts; he asked for a code after the flight to give to a pal.
For those asking, yes I gave the dude on the plane a code. How could I not?
Off to the UK! Here’s a #wotgh clue. I said a code had to do with something Aes Sedai could do. Hint: it’d be very useful in RJ’s home town.
Those sending guesses at me need to put them into the great hunt page. Warning: the wording must be exact.
In case you missed it earlier, I’m signing in London today. Forbidden Planet at 1:00. #Wotgh is still a go, also. I have codes for the UK.
On my way down to London now!! How do we get codes?
I will have clues about them, and maybe have one or two in the store somewhere.
Thanks to all who gave me Magic cards this tour! I just built a deck w/them, & have time after my London signing. Beat me for a #wotgh code.
Okay, UK WoT fans. Time to prove yourselves. I hid a Great Hunt code in one of my books in the Waterstones Milton Keynes. Can you find it?
Just realized that I THINK the clue I left in MK is one that has been guessed. If you find it & send me a photo, I’ll email you a new code.
Has anyone found the code I hid in Milton Keynes?
Tempted to make the 200+ mile round trip to go find it if it’s still not been claimed…
I THINK it has been claimed, but nobody has said so for certain. Where do you live?
Great Hunt is still going. There are codes hidden in both the UK and the states that have not been found. I still have a few to give away.
Any chance of giving us another #wotgh clue? There are a few codes left that people seem to have gotten stuck on…
Go ahead and tweet at Peter, my assistant, and prod him. He can give you some hints.
