Did you know today is National Talk Like Shakespeare Day? Frankly, that just gave me high school lit flashbacks, so we'll be taking some inspiration from various Classics (yes, including games) but skipping the thee's and thou's. First, they're annoying to write when the spellchecker has never been faced with Early Modern English. Second, let's face it, no one needs high school flashbacks. Enjoy our usual campaign, 3 competitions and mission in the Classic old-style event where you're out for yourself. True to style, the mission has a little puzzle for you to solve (or get the answer from someone else) and one of the competitions is VERY challenging because this is Classic and we don't like to make things easy. After 15 years, I think we've established that.


Participate for the prizes, the trophies, and the glory! The hunter with the most Classic$ at the end of April 30th will win a very generous first prize!


In order to take part in the event, you will have to click on the big banner you will find in the Launcher (or Website) home page:

[www.thehunter.com]Please read on to familiarize yourself with the rules of the event.


Event Duration: 7 days

Start: 24 April 2024 (Wednesday) - morning

End: 30 April 2024 (Tuesday) - 23.59 UTC


So how do you collect Classic$?

And this is how the prize pool looks:

This year's mission is called Hangman

Yep, we're playing a game within a game. So, here's how it works, the first six objectives contain the clues for the 7th animal you need to get. Those of you planning to spend the time on the puzzle, good luck and don't worry, it's not that hard! Those of you planning to pick their brains once they've worked it out, fair enough. We all have our skill sets. Those of you planning to ask Support what the answer is, forget it. The puzzle is created in English, but you don't need to speak it beyond knowing a few animal names to solve the puzzle. If it works in any other language, that's coincidental and our apologies for those it doesn't work in.

What? You want another hint? All right. There are two clues in the objective with the animal that doesn't fit in with the rest.

The objectives can be done in any order.



The mission will last through the event duration from the 24th April to the 30th April


Completing it will earn the hunter the following rewards:


Qualifying in a competition awards 100 Classic$ for each comp. You don't need to place, just have an entry.

Prizes for the competitions look like this:

Each competition comes with 7 tiers based on your Hunter Score:


What would a game be without rules?

We have one simple rule for our events: No exploitation of existing game mechanics to gain an advantage. All winners' hunts will be checked by EW staff prior to prizes being rewarded, and the decision will be final.

In case of exploits usage, EW has a right to disqualify the player from this event.


And what would an Event be without sales? We're not sure, but we do know that we'd get nasty messages if we skipped them, so we've made sure to put sales in.
