MAKE SURE YOUR HUNT OBJECT IS OUT AND CONTAINS A GIFT. If you don’t think that you will be home/awake before starting time, PLEASE put a gift into your hunt object and put it out BEFORE you are unavailable. Remember it won’t be active until the tour starts. If you haven’t gotten you hunt object by this point please contact a member of the Second Haunts team.

The Second Haunts Horror Tour is on!

November 01, 2026 at 12:00AM SLT (00:00):
The Second Haunts Horror Tour has ended and your hunt object and sign are now inactive. We encourage you to sell your item in your in-world store or on the Second Life marketplace if you wish. Leaving your past hunt gifts marked somehow as from a hunt (perhaps even set for a lower price than your normally-priced items) and in a way that distinguishes them as previous hunt items (on a shelf, table, etc) is a great way to provide a good deal and is a useful marketing strategy.
