Here’s how to participate in the IKEA Renton River Days Duck Hunt, a great way to lead up to the festival July 22-24.
Between now and Renton River Days, follow the clues to find 30 ducklings. But, beware, there’s a goose among them. It’s just not very obvious, so look for a special message in the game card to find the goose and increase your chances to win prizes.
It’s all part of this year’s duck hunt theme centered around the children’s game, Duck-Duck-Goose.
Print out a duck-hunt game card, or get one at any of the ducklings’ locations. (There’s one playing card per person.) Then get a stamp for each duck from the host. The more ducks you find in the scavenger hunt, the greater the chance of winning prizes at the Renton River Days. And those prizes include a Nintendo Wii and a certificate from Renton Western Wear.
Rentonreporter.com is serializing the clues, with a new one posted each day.
Here’s the clue for Zeke.
This duckling was at Renton Center, and wants to go quack, quack, quack—and he feels much better since his back went crack, crack, crack!
The clues so far:
JETT: This duckling has motored over to get car insurance at a place whose name scrambles to RAFTMATES. Which one? Find Megan!
NATHANIEL: This duckling is at GRLNDJWLRS, though we think you might need a few vowels to figure out where.
ROSSINI: This duckling is looking for his sister Italia, but has found a crow! But it’s a strange kind of crow, as you can see.
ITALIA: This duckling has finally been reunited with her brother Rossini! She’s just in the bank next door.
MORRIS: This duckling is on Northeast Fourth Street at FEXBSE KPOFT—wait, that can’t be right. Maybe he’s one step ahead of himself in the alphabet.
OZZY: This duckling needs to buy some spurs, some chaps, and a whole lot of yee-haw. Where would he go to do that?
BLAINE: This duckling has earned himself one of these. He’s assigned to the Investigations Division on the second floor, waiting to take your statement.
THETA: This duckling is very sleepy, so he’s only opened his eyes a little bit, enough to see this very thin slice of a logo.
MEATHEAD: This duckling has gone to another planet … a planet made of fitness.
YVES: This duckling is on Duvall Avenue, taking a tasteful form of transportation.
PLUM: This duckling went to the restaurant which starts with his name and is really quite delicious.
DANTE: This duckling can see Renton High from its perch on South Second Street. Dante just helped this kid get adopted, noting that his clothing choice might tell you where he is. (Dante the Dragon Duck is sponsored by Wizards of the Coast.)
XENO: This duckling loves Vietnamese food, and is hiding in a supermarket on Sunset Boulevard where he can pick some up.
ACAPULCO: This duckling is having a bite to eat at this place right here. (Acapulco is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Renton.)
QUEENIE: This duckling wants to live like a queen, so she went to the housewares store where this Volkswagen Beetle might be found.
