Many people make resolutions for the new year. Something they want to accomplish or a habit they want to break. Maybe a destination they want to travel to.
It’s easy to think about the empty year stretched out before us and imagine all kinds of possibilities.
The problem is that possibilities often don’t translate into realities. The majority of people hit a roadblock or two and give up on some or all of their resoutions before the year barely gets started.

For me, I plan to make 2010 a year of progress and completion. You see, many have bestowed upon me the lofty title of

I know it won’t be easy. Many of the items on my mental list have been there a long time. It’s time to blow off the dust and see what it will take to get them done.

One of the items on the list is to complete Game 3: Chasing Shadows. I’ve been “working” on it for a year and a half now. Many of you have been waiting very patiently. I appreciate that. There have been a few setbacks but that is no excuse. It will be ready this year. From what I can see so far, it will be the hardest one yet.

So whether you tiptoe cautiously into 2010 or hit the ground running I hope that later on as we look back on our lives, this one stands out as the year with the fondest memories. The year we’re most proud of.

We can do it. I know it.

If you don’t know Jesus, I pray that during the 2010 year you take some time to look into that. I didn’t become a Christian until I was 30 and even then it was only after much reading, studying, sole searching, questioning, and finally praying. Looking back on it I can’t believe it took me so long and how stubborn I was to accept it. I hope your journey is not as long and difficult as mine was.

Merry Christmas all you Cluechasers out there. Be safe. Be joyful.

Since then the websites that contained the hidden map pieces have updated their sites and the pieces are no longer there to find. Because of this many of the puzzles had to be reworked. So now, in the instances where the puzzle reveals a URL, you will type the URL as the answer (without the http://) instead of navigating to the website indicated (unless instructed otherwise).

If you wish to see the individual map pieces and solve the puzzle therein I will put them all together at the bottom of the list but they shouldn’t be done until all the other puzzles have been done.

Also keep in mind that within this game, you may need clues from previous puzzles in order to solve others.
