On Friday January 4th and during the subsequent weekend, there was a treasure hunt held at Raven Island. Strange masks were placed in several chat rooms to remind Whyvillians about the treasure hunt.

The low turnout was most likely due to Whyville's annual Winter Party which was also held this past Friday and during the weekend.
