Dr. Horrible Sing Along Scavenger Hunt!



So on Friday our program was Dr. Horrible themed scavenger hunt! I can't decide what was more fun, creating and putting the hunt together with Keith or watching our teams take on our challenges!

First we split our teams into the Henchman's Union in the Evil League of Evil (ELE) and the "Hammer Heads"- Captain Hammer's groupies. The mission of the Henchman/ELE was to steal the Wonderflonium before the Hammer Heads could stop them.

The first challenge was a Straw War, each team tried to topple the other's cups using Q-tip torpedos and straws:


When they had toppled all of the other teams cups they could move on to building a free standing (for at least 3 seconds) tower of Jenga blocks.

Once their buildings were complete they saddled up("there's no recourse..") a stick pony and ran outside singing the Bad Horse chorus:


Once outside we had a laundry relay that was pure chaos:

When our laundry was dry and folded, our teams had to solve a riddle.
You stand on one side of a river with Dr. Horrible, Captain Hammer and Penny. You have to get everyone across the river to continue your mission, but you can only take one person with you at a time.

If you leave Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer on one side of the river while taking Penny across, Captain Hammer will dislocate Dr. Horrible’s shoulder…again, and you can’t take Dr. Horrible across and leave Captain Hammer and Penny together or they might French kiss or something.

How do you get them all across the river without anything bad happening?


Before racing back inside, each team had to recite 5 quotes from Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog (bet you can't guess what the most popular quote was! :P) Once they were back in the library there were more puzzles to solve! First a Hidato puzzle and then an actual puzzle of the dvd cover.

The last major challenge was a quiz about Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog. All questions had to be answered correctly before the last clue to the Wonderflonium was received.

Once the final clue was handed over, there was a mad dash around the library searching for a box marked "Wonderflonium: Do not Bounce"


And, as in our favorite singalong blog, the would-be evil villains were successful in stealing the Wonderflonium. When the Hammerheads returned from their search they found themselves in the lair of the Evil League of Evil complete with Bad Horse (and Frank J. Brown) residing at the head of the table.

But in the end, good and bad alike got to celebrate with ice cream and singing along to the music of Dr. Horrible.

Post-Thanksgiving Post

:) Did you like my pun there? I love bad jokes. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I know I did, I love cooking with my mom, I love eating, I love taking family pictures, I especially LOVE cranberry sauce and PIE, and I even kinds love washing dishes (don't laugh!) so Thanksgiving is pretty much an ideal holiday for me. This year it was also my grandma's birthday so I got to talk to her on the phone for an hour. Well...maybe talk isn't the word I should use, listen is better since my grandma likes to ramble on and on. Remind you of anyone you know? :) Leave a comment to tell me about any fun traditions you have on Thanksgiving? My sister reenacted the funny commercial where the grandpa eats a scoop out of the pumpkin pie and then fills it in with cool whip! Hope everyone also survived the insanity of Black Friday! I ventured out late that evening when it had died down, but I didn't buy much, just an awesome cd and my sister bought a wonderful documentary: ...

Reading Rainbow-Hair

A few months ago I decided (with the help of several teens) that I wanted to make my own booktube channel of youtube and now it's a reality! If you don't hang out in the bookish community on youtube I'll explain, booktube is basically what it sounds like. Youtube channels dedicated to people reviewing and talking about books. Lots of them focus on new YA books but really people read across all genres. That's what I want to do. I'm a Youth Services librarian, so I read and love a lot of YA books, but I also read didn't genres/age groups etc. and I'm going to talk about all of them on my channel. BUT I won't just be talking about books by myself, some episodes will feature guests stars! First though, I recapped my favorite books from 2014 in two episodes (I talk so much we had to cut it in half). Watch them! Do all those nice things you can do to a youtube video: Like, Comment, Share, Subscribe! Stay posted for more! DFTBA, Sti

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban the second time around

Sirius Black's Wanted Poster Title/Year originally published: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban/1999 When I originally read it: 1999, I believe I got it for Christmas… What I thought of it then: When I first read this book I thought parts of it were the saddest things I’d ever read. When Harry overhears that his parents’ best friend betrayed them to Voldemort and was so angry he wanted to kill Sirius Black I cried, a lot. Besides that I thought the whole Time Turner device was really nifty on J.K.'s part (yeah, we're close, I can call her that*). I loved Lupin and the fact that chocolate is the remedy for when you've had all your worst memories brought to mind by Dementors.I also always love Scabbers so I was really sad when he turned out to be the betrayer of Lily and James Potter. Sigh. When I re-read it: January 2011 What my thoughts are now: This book is so great, I can see why it's a lot of people's favorite of the series. I mean, c'mon t...
