DropQuest II is started..

Dropquest is a multi-step scavenger hunt that has you solve a series of puzzles (inspired by the likes of MIT’s Mystery Hunt or Notpron [though not ne arly as time/effort-consuming]). Everyone who completes Dropquest will get at least 1 GB of extra free space, even if you participated last year. Also, everyone starts at the same time, but the questers who finish the soonest get additional amazing prizes.

That being said, we’ve got something to say about the Dropquest landing next weekend:

It’s back.

It’s harder.

It’s epic-er.
