The Great Cloth Diaper Hunt: From Start to Finish

I've had many ask for a view of how our Great Cloth Diaper Hunt goes from start to finish. Here's the look! Note - sorry about the pixelated images. Screen shots didn't like the download-upload process too much.

First clue at the bottom of our homepage -
Clues 'so cozy' and 'Snappi, pins' lead to you OsoCozy Prefolds -



and the clue at the bottom of the OsoCozy page -
 

Clue: 'he had forgotten HIS wrap' (note the nurse didn't forget hers - which many thought would be a baby carrier). This leads to you the Thirsties Duo Wraps - 

and the clue at the bottom of the Thirsties Duo Wrap page - 

Clue? What did he wear? Slippers. Takes you to the Woollybottoms Slippers page - 

And the clue at the bottom of the page - 






  
The clues? The lullaby's. What is the theme of all? Carriers! Tula, Boba, Cat(bird) and Ergo. The other key here was to note that these brands offered more than the soft-structured style! Catbird makes both SSC and Mei Tai. And Boba makes both a SSC and stretchy wrap. 

Navigating to the carriers - 


Takes you to this view, and the chance to browse by category -  



Knowing the categories that might fit, here's what happens when you click on 'Mei Tai.' Breadcrumbs, dots, something that is completely and utterly out of place -

Following the breadcrumbs you land on the 'Hello' page. This is the final page. From here, the hunt really draws on the old-school hide-the-link fun. I still distinctly remember finding a hidden link on a hunt three years ago - the pure joy and satisfaction. Sometimes it's the little things.























The story is quick, and the final line's store initials, done in black, draws the eye to the period at the start of the ellipsis.














And that's it - hyperlink presents itself and you are done!

  2. The "..." took me FOREVER to find. Your's was my last one to find but I found it before going on vacation

  3. I saw clues 1, 3 and 4. Not 2, not breadcrumbs, but finally, finally the icon! Thanks be to the hint forum.

  4. I completely missed the "..." in the Mei Tai product page and instead found it in the product index. The last clue initially led me to the IBB product page, only because the I BB was bold. Then I started painstakingly doing the old search for the hidden icon on those pages for a few days before I realized that it was on the "hello" page. Definitely over-thought that one!

    Great and fun search though!
