This will be a live scavenger hunt held in the /CodexContests TinyChat room. Instead of posting pictures on the forum, you will be retrieving items and showing them to us on camera. All challenges will be announced in the TC and will only be made available to players at the time of the contest. You must have a webcam and be willing to get on it to be eligible for this game. This is completely separate from the forum Scavenger Hunt.
The contest will be held on Saturday, January 14 from 2:00-4:00 PM NST. For those who are time-zone challenged, please use this tool to figure out what local time this equates to for you (hint: NST = USA California).
Entrants will have a 15 minute window at the beginning of the competition to get into the room and on cam. After 2:15 NST, no more participants will be accepted. TinyChat has a cap of 12 camera feeds per chatroom. Spots in this competition will be first-come, first-served up to 12 participants, so don't be late.
What if I don't want to show myself on camera? That is fine, you may use your camera to show items only. But as I am admittedly Master Creeper of Codex and want to see what everyone looks like (naked): If more than 12 people wish to participate, preference will be given to players willing to show themselves on cam.
Challenges will be posted in the chat window. After a challenge is posted, players will have 10 minutes to produce the item. Those who successfully produce the item will move on to the next round, those who fail will gain one strike. Once you gain two strikes, you are eliminated from the competition.

Prizes: TBA, estimated 10 million plus some random items.
You MUST use your Codex username in the /codexcontests TC room for contest purposes. If you do not you will be banned from the room.
Also I want to take this opportunity to warn that complaining about the fairness of any object requested will result in you forfeiting the competition. I don't want to hear your sob stories.
All users who have not been banned from Codex competitions are welcome to enter. This includes all players and winners from the last TC Scavenger Hunt!
