Cakemaster Treasure Hunt: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 20:46, 19 May 2026

The Cakemaster Treasure Hunt was a multi-region puzzle trail in Alpha Centauri, authored by an anonymous player styling themselves the Cakemaster. The trail used labelled sign clusters — each headed with a Delicious Cake sign — to guide adventurers across the world toward a hidden treasure.

Known Clue Stations[edit]

Station 1 — Rio De Oro territory (r.-3.1)[edit]

Clue signs (paraphrased):

The final destination involves binary islands to the west (sunset) of a city called Serpert
An X-marked island holds a final puzzle
A clue "burning to be sought after" — the trail continues

Station 2 — Genesis territory (r.0.3)[edit]

The Cakemaster confirmed the treasure was taken by warriors and forgers and hidden beneath an X-mark in their city, outside a warzone.

Additional Clues[edit]

Further sign clusters have been reported across alphac, pointing explorers toward the binary islands and a frozen city in the north. The full route has not been reconstructed.

The Treasure[edit]

The final fate of the Cakemaster's treasure is unknown. Rumours speak of temple bandits, a city that guards secrets behind locked walls, and an X that marks something far older than the Hunt itself. The Cakemaster was known to leave notes hinting at a sequel — Cakequest vII — suggesting the trail may not be finished.

Whoever finds it first writes the next chapter.

-== Analysis ==
+The final fate of the Cakemaster's treasure is '''unknown'''. Rumours speak of temple bandits, a city that guards secrets behind locked walls, and an X that marks something far older than the Hunt itself. The Cakemaster was known to leave notes hinting at a sequel — ''Cakequest vII'' — suggesting the trail may not be finished.
-The hunt spans at least two confirmed stations across the western and south-central regions of Alpha Centauri. The reference to '''the city of serpert''' (possibly "Serpent") suggests a city not yet catalogued by the Archivist. The "barbaric city outside of the warzone" where the treasure is ultimately hidden is also unidentified.
