## **\*CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED** \*

### -See each hint if you want to see where the screenshots were! I used some of my favorite submissions for the answers!-

Greetings Secret Worlders!

The anniversary of Secret World Legends is upon us again! It’s a special time of year to celebrate the origins of a game we all love! To commemorate the SWL anniversary event for 2026, I have put together a little game! There will be riddles, prizes, and lots of fun!

The Screenshot Scavenger Hunt will begin when the Anniversary Event kicks off in SWL on June 25th. There are a few rules we have to go over before we can get to the fun though! **Please read the rules carefully!**

## Rules:

- This is a screenshot scavenger hunt based on clues that will be given by YukiAya during the event. Contestants must work ALONE.

- For the first nine days of the Anniversary Event, one hint will be given every day a few hours after the key reset (June 25, 2026 1:00 PM→July 3, 2026 1:00 PM) until they are all revealed. **You must check back here every day to see the new hint.**

- Qualifying screenshots must either be sent to YukiAya as a message in the Funcom forum or in a direct message on Discord to username yukiya\_ayase. **You MUST send me your in-game nickname with the screenshots.** Some of the scavenger hunt screenshots will require missions and proof of mission completion to qualify by showing the mission on cooldown (CD). YukiAya will specify those.

- This is an event long scavenger hunt (June 25, 2026 1:00 PM→July 16, 2026 1:00 PM) and submissions can be made until the end of the Anniversary event on July 16th. All participants who send in at least one qualifying screenshot will receive a participation reward of the Celebration T-shirt.

- There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners for the first three people to complete the entire scavenger hunt and send in all 9 qualifying screenshots.

- To fully participate, you must be able to travel to Kaidan.

## EDIT: The event started earlier than I anticipated in SWL so while I was planning to reveal the hints starting on the 25th, with the event active I will start revealing them at June 20, 2026 1:00 PM

### Prizes:

The first three people to complete the scavenger hunt will be given a Weapon Anima Imbuer!

Everyone who submits at least one qualifying screenshot will receive the Celebration T-Shirt.

YukiAya will track all participants and rewards will be given at the end of the anniversary event in July once everything is done and the participant list is finalized and relayed to the Stationmaster.

**I MUST have your nickname in game for the rewards to be properly given at the end of the event so make sure it is properly spelled!**

You can do either, just keep in mind that if someone sends them to me one at a time, they can get ahead of you! And the sooner you send them to me, the sooner I can verify if it’s the appropriate place! If it is not, then the sooner you know, the sooner you can go try again!
