Reddit user meg0492 provided an update to anElden Ring-themed scavenger hunt she set up around the interior of her house for her gamer husband to partake in for his birthday. Eleven images were shared in her post, including before and after shots of a homemade treasure chest she made. Post-Its were used to mark the clues for her husband to find, containing cryptic yet humorous phrases such as “Fort, Nite,” “Dog Ahead,” or “Try Finger But Hole,” the latter of which was confirmed to be an idea suggested by a respondent to the previous post. Ultimately, the quest ends with a homemade treasure chest representingthe ones inElden Ring, containing a PlayStation 4 copy of the game and a Post-It that reads, “No Trap Ahead.”
The comment section was just as wholesome as the very concept, with many fellow Redditors admitting to helping meg0492 set the treasure hunt up, namely by contributing the ideas for what hints should be included. Several got a laugh at some of the props used, while others were touched by some inclusions such as a plate of chewy cookies. Certainly a lot more lighthearted and lower-stakes thanthe quests found inElden Ring, but nonetheless, meg0942 reports that her husband was very elated by his present.
