You just have to find the items listed mentioned somewhere in your book or on the cover. Then when you find it you just list the book, date it and rate it and also notate where you found it in the book. If you need to see how it works, we have scavenger hunt number 9 that ends tomorrow that you can use as a guide.
It's really fun to see what you can find. I've never once found all the words when I've played, but I've really liked looking for them.

I think I found globe and mannequin, but I can't remember which book...


Good luck on this round everyone. There are definitely some difficult words on this one.


I got to the part when he found his way to the camp and i think his best friend is having it away with his wife. Never got any further though, I end up doing that with series, unless I get complely sucked in after a couple of episodes eg Dexter, The Following. I don't bother.
Me and my hubby have been told about Breaking bad as well, watched the 1st one and thought it was boring!


I'll take that."
thanks Paris

I usually love the 1st season of something and then it turns into crap! Mentioning no names....Prison Break, (Swoon for Mr Miller)
Lost.... I mean WTF I was actually Lost watching that.
Heros loved the 1st season 2nd one mehh.
Flash forward I loved this and then found out that they didn't even make a 2nd season .... DAMN YOU NETFLIX !!!!!!

Number 5 Biscuit
Here in the UK a biscuit is the same as a cookie, is it the same on here or is a biscuit something else in the US? And would cookie count?

You keep asking all the questions I've been thinking about.

For #13 Horror Movie will the name of an actual horror movie be acceptable?

Bonus 9 - Not to be stupid but what video consoles are pre-1990? Atari? What about old video arcade games like Pac Man, Centipede or Galaga?
LOL, see when you make the list so difficult, we ask more questions and struggle :D (I think I should've joined this challenge when they were easier!)

Rosina yes on both forms of green beret and yes an actual horror movie can be used.
Marla any man of the cloth will do. I'm gonna say no on the arcade games cause I'm looking for the actual console like Atari. I will post a link later for both of your questions when I can get on a computer.

:(
For Katana would sword or Samurai Sword be acceptable or it has to say Katana?
What would An Overbearing Mom be? Would that be like protective or bossy or meddling?
Would wig work for A Toupee?
Would annual work for A Yearbook?

A biscuit in the United States and Canada, and widely used in popular American English, is a small bread with a firm browned crust and a soft interior. They are similar to British scones

Katana - I'll take katana or samurai sword but not just sword.
Your examples for overbearing mom are perfect.
Annual would work as long as its in the context of a school annual
For toupee I'd prefer toupee since its male specific but if the wig is on a man I'll take that.
