Major story spoilers
This applies to:
-
Local chat

Public social media while the hunt is active
Helping another player who is genuinely stuck is absolutely fine.
If you want to give someone an actual solution, answer, location, or spoiler, please take it to private IM or DM.
USE THE TUTORIAL FIRST
If you are unsure how the hunt works, please check the official Tutorial first.
The Tutorial explains the HUD, basic hunt mechanics, progression, collectibles, and other important information.
JOINING THE DRD GROUP
Joining the DRD group is very strongly recommended.
The hunt can technically be completed without joining the group, but the group is where important notices, updates, announcements, and community help will be shared.
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
If something is not working correctly:
-
Give the area a moment to fully rez.
-
Relog and retry if appropriate.
-
Check the Tutorial.
-
Contact DRD staff / CSR if the problem continues.
When reporting a problem, please tell staff:
-
Where you are
-
What part of the hunt you are doing
-
Which object, puzzle, or interaction is causing the issue
Please do not post puzzle answers, solutions, or spoilers publicly while asking for technical help.
LET HOLLOWBROOK REZ
Hollowbrook is a large and highly detailed environment.
Please allow the sim and surrounding objects time to load before rushing through the hunt.
If you experience performance issues, reducing unnecessary scripted attachments or HUDs may help.
NO DISRUPTIVE SOUND ATTACHMENTS
Please do not wear or use attachments, HUDs, pets, gestures, objects, or wearables that play disruptive music, disruptive sound effects, or repeated disruptive audio while visiting Hollowbrook.
Small, occasional and quiet sounds are completely fine.
For example, a pet or follower that occasionally makes a quiet sound is not a problem.
This rule is aimed at things that repeatedly play music, loud effects, spam sounds, or otherwise interrupt the hunt atmosphere and other visitors.
Players using disruptive sound-emitting items may be automatically ejected from the sim.
STUCK? DON’T PANIC.
Some of the puzzles are meant to make you stop and think.
If you get frustrated, convinced something is impossible, or feel the rage-quit approaching, take a break.
Refocus. Walk away for a little while. Touch some grass. Come back with fresh eyes.
The puzzles are doable.
You do not need to finish everything in one sitting, and the hunt rewards are not disappearing tomorrow.
Please don’t turn group chat or Discord into an ongoing complaint session because a puzzle isn’t giving up its secrets immediately.
Ask for help when you genuinely need it, help each other where appropriate, and remember that figuring it out is part of the hunt.
In short:
Don’t let Hollowbrook win.
RESPECT OTHER PLAYERS AND DRD STAFF
Please respect other visitors and DRD staff.
No:
-
Harassment
-
Griefing
-
Spam
-
Nudity or sexual activity
-
Intentionally disruptive behaviour
-
Abusive behaviour toward staff or other players
Use common sense.
Everyone is here to enjoy the experience. Don’t ruin it for somebody else.
