Bonus Boxes

From: (scoutingbear1978@aol.com) | Date: 2006-04-01 17:08:34 UTC-05:00
A question for those of you who have made bonus boxes or those that have
found them...

I have one in mind that I would like to add to one of my plants. Do people
normally include the clues to the bonus box as part of the logbook and have
the finder copy them or are there multiple clues to the next box provided? Or
??????

Thanks!

The one I found was written in the log book and I has to copy it.

I have done it both ways. Most of the time, I include a bonus box clue inside the main box, either in the back of the log book or on a separate slip of paper. But I have also included it right in the text of the main clue as kind of a "read between the lines" type of thing. Either way is fine, and I am sure there are even other ways that people have led the finder to a bonus box.

Re: [LbNA] Bonus Boxes

I write the clues in the back of the logbook with a little note in the front saying to check the last page for bonus (in small letters) - and usually put a reading from where the original box was found to the bonus. My clues on LBNA might say something vague for instance, I have Doors of Durin from Lord of the Rings posted and I say something like - "Beware of the Cave Troll". If the person is intuitive, they pay close attention to the logbook.

I've seen some where the person has a separate baggie in the box with clues printed and cut to small sizes so the finder can take the paper with them. Another example is a laminated card in the box with clues and you have to write them down in order to find the bonus.

Hope this helps! Enjoy!
