I wonder if we’re allowed to reveal their identity now?!

The #GlobalTalk Scavenger Hunt 2025: Behind The Scenes/Post-Mortem - https://globaltalk.network/index.php?page=The%20GlobalTalk%20Scavenger%20Hunt%202025
Now that the #marchintosh #globaltalk #scavengerhunt has been solved, our puzzle master must be congratulated for putting this together. @kalleboo : you obviously are a Hypercard wizard. Did you also create the individual paper games, or did you collaborate? How long have you been planning this? Did your use the new low level AppleTalk protocols for GlobalChat to help with the server side phrase validation? We'd love to know all about this!
#marchintosh #globaltalk #scavengerhunt PUZZLE HAS BEEN SOLVED
@_the_cloud OMG ... thank you for finding that. We were all overthinking Clue 010. It really IS that simple.
@europlus Except for the larger puzzle piece, those icons are all different #GlobalTalk shares. The jester icon is Cloudbusting:Puppet Head. The woman's head (Maude Flanders?) is the icon for LikesOldMacs:Q700. Both of those servers have puzzle pieces in files named '?' and '??' in their respective drop folders. I've seen the other icons when browsing so assume those shares also contain puzzle pieces.
Attention #MARCHintosh shoppers.
If you have a Pro Audio Spectrum 16 NuBus, I have put up my "proof of concept" OPL3 VGM player on #GlobalTalk with source code.
Wafflenet -> Reiko -> Goodies -> Stuff I Made -> Programs -> LazyVGM
It is super scuffed, but it does (mostly) work! (READ THE README!!)
In the spirit of #MARCHintosh... Back when enhanced CDs were a thing, I got to code this little music mixer for a soft drink client at the agency I worked at. Tonight I finally managed to get the app off the enhanced CD and into a SIT archive.
Does something like this belong on Macintosh Garden? It's just a commercial Macromedia director app, I'm assuming no...
BREAKING: a #globaltalk scavenger hunt clue number 101 has landed at JUPAK!
#GlobalTalk growth chart as of Sunday the 23rd
@likesoldmacs's bump in the Machines graph still stands out!
@likesoldmacs when I was installing Real Player at the start of #MARCHintosh it struck me just how “modern” it felt, installing shortcuts and begging for registration…
My ImageWriter is also ready for all other prints, too. Somehow, against all odds, my partner keeps asking me when the printer is going to make more noise with #Marchintosh messages
I've blogposted a bit about #GlobalTalk and the various fun things you can do on this antiquated small-scale Internet.
Hopefully this is a good showcase of the vibes of the network if you can't access it yourself! Please have a read.
Dang the miracle of Background Printing is like a dream. MDN has to go out via Word 2001 to printers today- I can't deal with the incredible wait times that PM4 is requiring now.

My printer has been blessed with the #GlobalTalk 2025 scavenger hunt ! I have Clue 11.
New video! Restoring the LC630 DOS - a Macintosh hiding a PC inside!

Happy #Marchintosh everyone! :)
I think we need to get the clues all worked out, I think 10 and 101 still need more work.
Are there others (e.g. 0, 111)?
