    Time for a Medallion Hunt! Riddles galore!

    Our university has a Medallion hunt every spring, and the person who finds the medallion get the first room pick (which is usually a apartment-sized quad that takes up the top floor of a dorm...nicknamed the Manor Tower). A new clue will be emailed daily. The problem is, I suck at riddles. So I have thrown myself at the mercy of AO, to help me in my noble quest of honor, and to find the Medallion, so that I may live in comfort next year. Help if you want, throw in some ball-park guesses, but let's try and solve this damn thing.

    First Clue:

    Clue 1: A frozen game without a name
    Stuck on a wall they chase a ball

    help

    War is peace

    Freedom is slavery

    Ignorance is strength

      The mural/picture/painting is a good start...in particular, look for one of a football game going on in the snow...

        Try a photograph of a basketball game, or something like that. I know my athletic center has a whole bunch of sports photos up. Probably not a mural, but maybe a photograph?

          Chasing a ball sure sounds like soccer to me.

              Might be a photograph without a caption, or a mural where the teams aren't specified.

                the picture/painting idea is good, ill have to run through all the buildings and look for a sports oriented painting. maybe its depicting a game that actually doesnt have a name, either because its just people tossing a ball or abstract? i never even considered that it could be a painting, so thanks guys.

                the next clue will be posted tomorrow morning after i check my email.

                  I dont know, a frozen game might have a double meaning, like its a picture 'frozen' or maybe its something like ice hockey?

                    oh
                    my
                    god.


                    the medallion was found less than 30 MINUTES after the first clue was posted. I posted this thread about 1 hour after the clue was posted. Sorry guys, but I had no chance (literally). I want to thank you guys anyways though, because most of your advice was right on target. The medallion was found in the Klas Center Historical Wing (which is a small room with nice leather chairs and a 50 inch PLASMA that I have NEVER seen turned on since I started college) behind the frame of a large picture of an old women's field hockey game. My friend Mark and I started going building-to-building looking for sports pictures/paintings around 4pm today, and about 3 buildings in someone broke us the news about the medallion already being found. I have no doubt that we would have found the medallion today (with the help of you guys, of course).

                          As in, whomever hid the medallion, told the finder where it was.

                            That's really lame.
                            I'm really sorry to hear about that.
                            I would concur with everyone here, and say challenge it, and have a school official or someone in a position of trust hide it.
