Cheeky Monkey’s All Male: Winter Edition SL Hunt is currently underway! The journey kicks off at Mandilena Gestures in Broken Arrow, a mega-store that offers just about everything, from gestures to decor. Much of it tends to be high-end and pricey, but the prizes are top-notch.
Beginning the Hunt
A sign on the right side of the wall offers a link to the hunt’s hints.
The site offers a photo, teleport link, and clue for each of the hunt’s locations. Yes, it’s as easy as it sounds: click the teleport link on the site, follow the clue to the area pictured, and win prizes!
Most prizes only cost $1L, but a few do go up to 25. It’s a very small price, but it goes a long way in helping the participants and organizers.
Also, remember that some locations offer multiple prizes. Here’s a quick look at what each hidden prize looks like. Note: sometimes, they’ll be very close to other objects that are also for sale. Make sure you’re only buying the prize for the All Male SL Hunt, as pictured below.
Exploring the Hunt’s Locations
Obviously, most of the destinations along the All Male hunt are pretty masculine. For example, the first combines elements of patriotism, country life, and the great outdoors. The prizes found here match that theme.
Others offer men’s apparel. However, a few actually are more feminine, presumably to help guys find gifts as Valentine’s Day approaches. Here’s a list of each location:
- Splintered Creations: As we mentioned, this store definitely brings an outdoorsy feel to the metaverse. You’ll even find gestures that reflect some of the web’s It does a great job of setting the tone for the rest of the All Male SL Hunt.

A Look at the Loot
So, what prizes did I find during the All Male SL Hunt? I don’t want to drop too many spoilers, but I’ve included a picture showing a few of the top prizes below.
Getting Help From the Group
The organizers of the All Male SL Hunt set up a group where participants can socialize and ask for help. I have to say, it’s actually a solid group. Personally, I ran into a problem when, right off the bat, the first location link didn’t work. I posted in the group, and the organizer, Mandilena herself, responded in less than a minute.
She investigated the issue, found the correct link, and shared it so I could begin the hunt. She was very friendly and promised to address the issue with the location’s owner. Groups like this are what really make an SL Hunt user (and especially newbie) friendly.
