Week 1 of the Olive Hill Riddle Quest brought visual intrigue, with picture-only clues hidden throughout town. But some adventurers were left scratching their heads — and we get it! Each image wasn’t the answer itself, but a hint to your next location. From one photo clue to the next, the visual trail led you forward.
Welcome to Puzzle Week 2!
This week’s clues are word puzzles and riddles. You’ll need to solve each one to discover the next location. No more picture-hopping — it’s time to put your thinking cap on and follow the clues with your brain as much as Track Your Journey
Each clue includes a QR code that leads to our official Clue Tracker site. There, enter your email and download the Clue Compilation Sheet. This is your quest log. As you solve each riddle and find each location, fill in your sheet.
You Must Turn in Your Sheet to Win
To be eligible for the $500 grand prize, your completed Clue Compilation Sheet must be turned in in person at the Olive Hill Homecoming Parade. If you don’t turn it in, you’re not in the running—so make sure to bring it with you!
All Clues Stay Up All Month
Did you just hear about the Riddle Quest? You’re not too late! All clues from every week stay in place until the end of June. You can still go back, start from the beginning, and complete the game at your own pace.
It Only Gets Trickier
Week 3 will raise the stakes with ciphers, logic games, and scavenger-style challenges. But don’t worry—if you missed a week, just start from Week 1 (go to https://cartercountytimes.com to find previous articles) and work through them all. Persistence wins the prize.
Don’t forget: $500 is on the line. The real treasure? The adventure you’ll have along the way.
Let the Riddle Quest continue!
