Hmm, these are tricky to find... I saw mentions on Magicam about people finding them on bricks and flagstones.
Maybe I'll have an easier time finding them at the show venue or around some attractions... But there's gotta be one around here, right? |
|
...? What's he up to? |
|
OOH, OOH! FOUND ONE! |
|
Whoa! What in the world?! |
|
Oh, hey Jack. What's up? |
|
That's what I wanna know! First you're crawling on the ground for whatever reason, then you start yelling out of nowhere? |
|
Oh, sorry about that! Got kinda absorbed in what I was doing. |
|
I'm on the hunt for Hidden Foxes. See this one? |
|
Is that a keyhole? Huh, the way it's shaped does look kinda familiar... |
|
Yup! It's the silhouette of the Friendly Fox, one of Playful Land's mascots.
These are hard-to-find photo spots that only people in the know even know to look for! Other visitors have posted about 'em online.
They're hidden all throughout the park, and finding them is part of the experience.
And according to Ernesto, rumor has it you get a little good luck when you find 'em. |
|
I've been hunting for them ever since we walked through the gates, and this is the very first one I've found. |
|
That's kind of incredible. Playful Land's already known for being illusionary, but it's got yet another secret quality? |
|
Yeah, huh? I just know this is gonna let Cay-Cay do the biggest numbers he's ever done!
So, wanna join the search? Who knows? Maybe something good will happen if you find one! |
|
Nah, I'll pass. I don't believe in wish-making or superstitions. |
|
Aww, really? But you said it yourself: it's a secret within a secret. |
|
Doesn't that get you, y'know... fired up? |
|
What do you mean, fired up? |
|
You know! It's like Playful Land's issuing us a special challenge. |
|
Like the park management thinks there's no way we can possibly enjoy everything this place has to offer in just one day.
Wouldn't it just burn you inside to know you proved them right?!
We gotta make sure we cover everything, even the hidden challenges! Then we'll have full, legit bragging rights! |
|
Well, when you put it that way! ... Still nope. |
|
Nothin', huh? Alas. |
|
Heh. I mean, I can at least respect the drive to cover everything that can be covered, even the hidden stuff. |
|
See? There you go! So, how's about joining me for just a little bit? |
|
Oh, fine. You're an upperclassman, even if you're not from my dorm, so it'd be rude to turn you down. I'll tag along 10 minutes. |
|
Woohoo! Let's seaerch around this bazaar, then!
A place that gets a lot of foot traffic should have a bunch of hidden foxes, IMO. |
|
Makes sense. Even if they're supposed to be hard to find, it'd defeat the purpose if no one could locate any at all. |
|
Exactly. Okay, fox hunt time. Let's meet back up in 10! |
|
'Sup, Jack! Lemme guess: that look on your face means you found one, right? |
|
Yeah, just one. I'll show you where it is. |
|
I found this one on the trash bin under the streetlamp. Right here. |
|
Ooh, there it is, all right. There's a fox-shaped indentation on the lid! Good eye, Jack! |
|
If you're curious, the one I found was on this window here. There's a fox pattern frosted into the glass.
This one kinda seems like easy mode, though. It's right at eye level, and you can even see it from the inside. |
|
I wanna find a more challenging one, like the one you found!
When you spotted that one, it gave you a rush of excitement, right? |
|
... Yeah. To be honest, I even pumped my fist. |
|
Ahaha! I'm happy you got into it, Jack.
I'm gonna hit up the next area and see what I can find. What'll you do? |
|
I guess I'm already invested. I'll come with. |
|
Sweet! Let's uncover every hidden fox we can before it's time to regroup with the others. |
Playful Land - Catch the Star
|
Hmm. Not much luck around the Ferris wheel so far, huh...
It was pretty easy finding the ones at the Brawlin' Bungalow and the rollercoaster. |
|
You faring any better, Jack? |
|
Nope. I checked around the standby line, but didn't turn any hidden foxes there. |
|
I guess the Friendly Fox in the middle of the Ferris wheel doesn't count, huh? Considering it's not exactly hidden. |
|
Ahaha, true. Let's give it a little longer. I'd hate to leave empty-handed... Hm? |
??? |
My, my! Fancy meeting you two here! |
|
Ernesto and Gino! What's the haps! |
|
From the way you're strolling about without getting in line for any rides... Let me guess. You boys are on a hidden fox hunt? |
|
Sure are. We've found six so far. |
Ernesto |
My goodness! You've found that many already? This park can't keep anything hidden from prestigious scholars like yourselves! |
|
We found one in Gentle PLaza, three in the bazaar, and one each at the Brawlin' Bungalow and the rollercoaster.
It's surprisingly hard spotting them. There's gotta be one hidden around here, though. |
|
The one in this area IS pretty tricky to find. Not many people have managed to find it.
If your count is right, though, you've found every other hidden fox in the park. This will be your last one! |
|
Whoa! We're that close to finding them all? |
|
You certainly are! I'm sure bright young scholars like yourselves will find it in no time, of course. Hah hah hah! |
|
But I'm sure you must be tired after all that wandering. Could I suggest kicking back first and taking a little breather? |
|
Perhaps if you're able to take a more relaxed, leisurely look around, you might spot something you never noticed. |
|
...? |
|
Is it just me, or was that remark Ernesto made pretty pointed? You know, the stuff about spotting stuff you never noticed. |
|
Oh, totes. That's gotta be a hidden fox hint.
Ooh, I know! Let's take a ride on the Ferris wheel, Jack. |
|
What brought this on? |
|
A "more relaxed, leisurely look around" sounds exactly like what you'd get on a Ferris wheel, don't you think? |
|
Makes sense... That's one way to look at things from a different perspective. Let's get in line. |
|
... Welp, no luck there.
Didn't find the hidden fox in the car we rode, that's for sure. |
|
Hmm... I was looking for a place that might have a fox-shaped outline from a bird's-eye view, but I came up blank.
Guess not even Ernesto would give us THAT big of a hint. Alas. |
|
Yeah... But it wouldn't feel right throwing the towel and moving on the other rides.
Cater, I'm still invested. I'm gonna go over this area with a fine-toothed comb. |
|
Wow, Jack, that is some fiery determination! Cay-Cay had better keep up! |
|
But we're still not finding anything. What if we're making this harder than it needs to be... ?
Where else would you go for a breather? A bench? No, that's way too obvious... |
|
... Or is it?!
OOH! Jack, look! Check out this bench seat! |
|
You find something, Cater?
... Oh! I see it now. There's a fox shape carved into the wood. That's a hidden fox! |
|
It's been in plain sight this whole time. I can't believe we overlooked it for so long... |
|
Ernesto's "hint" about taking a breather was more like the whole solution! |
|
We read too much into it, huh. |
|
Ahaha! What a sense of accomplishment, though! Doesn't it make you feel triumphant? |
|
Sure does. |
|
We should take a pic together in front of the last hidden fox! Don't worry, I promise I won't post it to Magicam. |
|
Really? I figured you'd be quick to show off the whole set online. |
|
Eh, I dunno. If I post pics of them to Magicam, that ruins the mystique, right?
But I still want a pic to commemorate the occasion, you know?
What better way to do that than a shot of me with my fellow fox forager, posing over our prize?
You don't get a chance to take such a perfect shot every day. |
|
You thing so? Okay, let's get it over with. |
|
Great! Then let's both strike our best Wooden Puppet poses, and...
Cheese! |
