MADPEA GAME FAQ

CAN I SEE THE PRIZES BEFOREHAND?

New prizes will be revealed each day on this page as well as on our Facebook page.

WHERE CAN I FIND THE PRIZES

Teleport to the HUNT START AREA by using the home button on your radar.

CAN I BUY TOKENS FOR MY LAND?

Absolutely! You can find them at the MadPea Mainstore, Game Start, or Marketplace. You can also click on your hunt objects to receive points!

HELP! I FOUND A TOKEN, BUT IT’S NOT WORKING. WHAT DO I DO?

Before reporting a faulty token, please check the following:

Make sure the object belongs to the current game, (check the token chart above).

Have you muted the object owner? If so, the object won’t react to you.

Are you close enough to the token? You have to be within 5m distance from the token to click on it.

Are scripts allowed on the parcel you’re on? If not, please contact our Customer Support and we’ll message the owner.

Is something in front of the token? An invisible prim may be covering the part you’re clicking on.

Check that with ctrl+alt+T or right-click to touch the token.

HOW CAN I GET ACHIEVEMENTS FROM THIS GAME?

All you have to do is to keep playing! The more tokens you find and the more locations you visit,
the more achievements you will receive.

To check which achievements you have, visit our Player Portal.

DO I NEED THE ACCESSORIES FOR THIS GAME? WHAT DO THEY DO?

They are just fun add-ons for you to have.

All that you need for playing is the radar.

HELP! I DON’T HAVE ACCESS / DON’T WANT TO GO TO A LOCATION THAT’S RATED ADULT. HOW CAN I AVOID THEM?

Each time you click on the TP button to get a new location you will see the location rating and can choose which ones you want to visit.

HELP! I CAN’T ENTER A LOCATION, WHAT DO I DO?

MadPea is not responsible for the locations. Anyone can buy a hunt object and rez it on their land.

If you can’t enter a region, you should contact the owner to solve the issue yourself, MadPea, unfortunately, can’t help you there.

We suggest you click on the TP button to go to a different location.

Possible reasons for not being able to enter a region:

You are banned

The region you’re trying to enter requires payment information on file

The region might be offline

You don’t have moderate or adult regions enabled

I TELEPORTED TO A REGION THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE TOKENS, BUT MY RADAR ISN’T SHOWING THEM. WHAT DO I DO?

First, check if there are scripts allowed on the parcel you’re on. If not, please contact our Customer Support and we’ll message the owner.

The token might have recently died too. Use the TP button for a new location.

MY RADAR IS SHOWING TOKENS IN THE REGION, BUT I DON’T SEE THEM

It could be that the token has just expired! Click on your radar, it will refresh.

Make sure that the token is not above or below you. Arrows on the compass will point up when it is above you and down when it is below you.

NO LITTERING

MALFUNCTIONS

We are aware that Second Life has its own issues that we can not control, such as location logouts, reboots, or lagging and crashing. Should anything happen beyond our control that disrupts or halts the hunt, we will announce it via group notice at the first possible opportunity, providing further instructions relevant to the issue.

REFRAIN FROM BAD SPORTSMANSHIP

Do not harass other hunters or Sim owners, do not instigate conflicts, and if you get stuck, do not whine and complain in group chat. Doing any of these actions will result in the revocation of your chat rights.

GROUP DIALOGUE IS ALLOWED (and even encouraged!)

You are allowed to communicate in the group chat and help each other out. You are however NOT allowed to give out direct slurls to the hunt objects.

HELP! I HAVE A QUESTION THAT’S NOT ANSWERED HERE
