What is mozhunt?

Well mozhunt was originally a community developed, community run, treasure hunt on the web for the mozilla community. It was a big success and now it is finally time to dust it off and recreate it.

So how does it work?

There are two parts to the game... first of all there are those hiding tokens. The idea is that this is a quick and simple a process as possible. All the hider need do is paste one or two lines of code onto their site and instantly their token is hidden. They can also add a cryptic clue as to what their site is and where on the site their token is hidden. For the players this is a little different, they visit as many sites around the mozilla community (and any other sites where tokens are hidden) to find these tokens. Now you should not need a separate account to hide and find tokens. HOWEVER those hiding tokens may not add the one they have hidden to their site.
