A BIT OF HISTORY: Did you know STEAM stands for Steampunk Travelers Event Adventure & Megahunt? Created in 2009 by our Mayor Perryn Peterson, STEAM was SL's first-ever grid-wide Steampunk hunt. In the early years, the STEAM Hunt was offered more than once a year - that's how we are now at our 20th iteration of this fun and beloved Hunt. :))

Not familiar with our MHH processes or need more details? 

Please do review our General Hunt & Event Guidelines. 

➜ Choice: You can choose to participate in either the Grid-Wide Hunt, the Event Themed Markets, or both!

* For the Grid-Wide Hunt, you create a themed gift (or timeless gift) and hide it in your own shop, following our standard guidelines. 

* For the Event, we will have Themed Markets on Mieville sims. You apply to participate, then choose a booth and put some of your products there for sale. Ideally, some of your products will be in-theme. 

   Entertainments: We will have wonderful DJ dances & performances! Please plan to attend - they are SO much fun! (Additional ideas? Let us know!)

Theme: The Waltz of the Automatons 

➜ So for gifts, think about something that might go with that theme OR any general Steampunk / Victoriana items OR timeless stuff (flowers! pets!), etc. Steampunk or Victoriana dance or celebration things? Sure! Clothing? Sure! Romance or anniversary things? Sure! (We're pretty flexible.)

Game & Prizes! We also hope to develop a fun mini-hunt game that will take you through Mieville sims & Themed Market areas collecting specific items to earn points you can use to get free gifts! 

Any questions, please do let us know. Hope you will join us! Let's have celebrate & have fun!!

Your Friendly Mieville Librarian,
