  Hunt games
 
After the succesful introducation of the Egghunt game in april in the AW Landing zone, the return of the huntbot is very promising for the Activeworlds Community. The hunt game is fun for the players , but is also fun for the world owners or citizens which are hosting the game. Some world owners haven't waited to use Strike Rapier's hunt bot. The only thing they needed to do in order to enable the huntbot, was giving bot rights and caretaker rights in the participating world.
The world Singalot hosted a coin hunt on 29th of May.
The world Poetic hosted a parcel hunt on 25th and 26th of June.
