[Summary] : SLC29-W3 | The Color Hunt

_{Edited by Canva}

Hello Steemians,

Week 3 shifted from “Sound Maps” to visual dominance and mystery.
This time, the mission was:

Which single color takes over your location when you stop and truly look?

Participants had to choose a real place, pin it on SteemAtlas, explain the dominant color context, write a short personal narrative, provide 2–4 original photos, upload a Speem.watch proof video (20–60s) showing five different objects/elements of ONE color, and include a Hidden Color Riddle.
Week 3 also required visible engagement: solving other participants’ riddles through comments.

This week produced a wide palette of hunts: fruit shops, vegetable fields, a fashion store, a children’s sports shop, a sunset riverbank, a gokart arena, a cultural house, and historic streets.

Week 3 Statistics

Total participants reviewed	19
SteemAtlas pins included	19 / 19
Proof video provided (Speem/IPFS/YouTube)	19 / 19
Speem.watch/IPFS proof clearly present (strict format)	17 / 19
“Five objects – one color” clearly demonstrated	7 / 19
Hidden Color Riddle clearly present (true color riddle)	8 / 19
Minimum engagement confirmed (solving at least two other entries)	7 / 19

Score Verification Note

All final scores used in this report are the official jury totals and are mathematically consistent with the rubric (sum of the 5 criteria equals the final score for every reviewed entry).

Post Quality Snapshot

The most common Week 3 weaknesses were:

• Missing or weak hidden color riddle (many posts stated the color directly instead of hiding it).
• Video compliance gap: not showing five distinct objects of the same color, one-by-one.
• Engagement not visible (no clear riddle-solving comments on other entries).
• Format issues: using only YouTube where Speem proof was expected.

High quality (8.5 – 10)	4 posts	Clear dominant color, strong proof video (5 objects), solid riddle, strong “place + meaning” connection.
Good (7.5 – 8.49)	2 posts	Valid and enjoyable, but missing 1 key strength (video structure or engagement proof).
Needs improvement (Below 7.5)	13 posts	Often missing a true hidden color riddle, and/or the “5 objects one color” sequence was not clearly demonstrated.

Top 6 Winners – Week 3

Rank	Author	Dominant Color + Location	Score (/10)	Why it stood out	Post Link
1	@bossj23	Orange — Ibom Plaza (Uyo, Nigeria)	9.4	Best complete package: strong cultural identity + excellent mystery riddle + clear orange dominance + solid proof video.	View post
2	@lunasilver	Yellow — House of Culture (Villa de Cura, Venezuela)	9.0	Strong riddle, meaningful cultural place, and confirmed 5 yellow objects in video. Great storytelling + atmosphere.	View post
3	@marwene	Yellow — Medina of Tunis (Tunisia)	8.9	One of the cleanest “five objects one color” executions (five yellow doors) + excellent location framing and mood.	View post
4	@sahzh	Red — Shikarpur Sports & Chairs (Karachi, Pakistan)	8.5	Strong color dominance + explicit 5 red objects list + good metaphor (heartbeat) and clear shop identity.	View post
5	@dove11	Deep Blue — Zudio (Meerut, India)	8.2	Clever riddle clues + personal color meaning. Strong entry; highest gains possible by showing 5 clearly distinct blue items in video.	View post
6	@sohanurrahman	Green — Chef’s Table Courtside (Dhaka, Bangladesh)	7.7	Great green-dominance concept and calm storytelling; held back mainly by engagement visibility and clearer “5 objects” proof.	View post

Community Highlights

Best Hidden Color Riddle

@bossj23 delivered the most complete and “mystery-faithful” riddle structure, perfectly aligned with the cultural identity of the place.

Best “Five Objects, One Color” Proof

@marwene executed the clearest proof sequence: five distinct yellow doors, each visibly different, making compliance unmistakable.

Best Cultural Storytelling

@lunasilver turned the color hunt into a meaningful cultural journey, connecting renovation, memory, and place identity with a strong riddle.

Best Shop-Based Color Energy

@sahzh used red as the “heartbeat” of a children-focused shop, with strong object listing and clear dominance explanation.

Jury Notes for Week 4 Improvement

• Pick ONE dominant color and keep it the hero in every section (context, story, photos, riddle).
• Proof video must show 5 different objects of the same color, one-by-one (not a general pan over many items).
• Write a true hidden color riddle: hint the color without naming it directly, in 1–2 strong lines.
• Use Speem.watch/IPFS proof cleanly (avoid “YouTube only” when Speem is required).
• Engagement must be visible: comment on at least two other entries with (1) dominant color guess + (2) riddle solution logic.

Closing Words

Week 3 proved that our world map is not only audible and geographic — it is also chromatic.
Each pin added a different “layer” to the community’s global palette: from historic yellow doors and cultural centers to orange identity parks and red childhood shops.

Congratulations to the Top 6 winners, and thank you to everyone who hunted, filmed, guessed, and interacted.
