Test Description

Design a Venery, a treasure hunt around your home, throughout your neighborhood, or across Egypt. A good Venery can teach runners about local sites, and is neither too easy nor too difficult. After completing your design, if you wish to turn off the Venery menu on objects, turn off the option in 'Interface Options' under 'Show menu items for venery configuration'. This option was added when you started the Test of the Venery.

Principles

Principles of the Venery requires you to build a simple Venery and have seven judges rate it, averaging at least Good.

Additional Information

This is the second test in the discipline of Thought.

This test allows the builder to create a small story and bring the participant through a series of locations while participating. It can be timed and can be as small as within eyesight to Egypt as a whole.

Passing Principles

Complete and collect 3 Venery Certificates. Show them to any School of Thought. (Note From T7- last step does not seem to be necessary. I leveled up at Venery Gathering Point after getting third Venery Certificate - Estaar)

Creating a Venery

  1. Make at least 7 Simple Lockboxes
  2. Determine where you'd like to start your Venery
  3. Build a Venery Gathering Point
  4. Name your keys
  5. Install your Simple Lockboxes
  6. Create your clues - Consider using the Venery Planner to plan and write your content.
  7. Open your Venery.

Notes on Lockboxes and Clues

  • You need to select 'Configure This Venery' at the Venery gathering point before you start installing lockboxes. Then you can install keys and lockboxes anywhere you like.
  • Make sure that Options > Interface> Tests > "show menu items for venery configuration" is checked, or you will not get the option to install the Locboxes! - Minerva
  • A venery should be fun to do. Many Egyptians get frustrated with the very hard ones and will tend to quit the venery.
  • Make sure your clues are precise and not too hard to decipher.
  • Always keep in mind that people will be voting on this so if you want to pass it needs to be finely balanced between easy and hard.
  • Some people in previous tales built chests and placed rewards in them for others to collect. However you do it is up to you.
  • Some people will also have an answer sheet attached to their wiki page.
  • Remember Just Have Fun.
