Hint Toad: Welcome to the Forgotten Isle everyone! Let me direct your attention to the two doors we have uncovered here on the side of the mountain. It is said there lies a great treasure here behind these doors. Well, not directly behind them...

The doors slowly open with the pull of a level near by. Two passage ways are revealed.

Hint Toad: These passage ways are supposed to lead to the treasure but our problem is they're both blocked again by more doors. And we can't open them. Which is a big dilemma. That's where you guys come in. Through both passage ways you'll find some interesting inscriptions on the walls, followed by a keyhole. Uncle Amiibo has deduced that the inscriptions lead to a special artifact called a Moon Key. Which in turn should fit into the keyhole. Your job is to derive the meaning of the inscriptions, find the Moon Keys and uncover the mystery of Forgotten Isle!

Hint Toad: I've got an idea. What better way to motivate everyone then to introduce a little competition... Since there are two passage ways, how about we divide everyone into two teams. Uncle Amiibo, could you do that?

Uncle Amiibo: Calculating for maximum competitiveness… Done! Here are the results!

Team Hint Toad
Lakituthequick
Salmancer
Hooded Pitohui
Yoshi the SSM

Team Uncle Amiibo
Ninja Squid
Waluigi Time
Goombuigi
Boo1268
Ninelevendo

Hint Toad: Perfect! Sound good everyone?


Team group chats will be up momentarily. Please double check that you have beaten Super Mario Odyssey.

Thanks for playing Hint Toad's Scavenger Hunt: The Mystery of Forgotten Isle!!!

The game went by pretty fast, so for those who didn't get a chance to participate, I'll post all the Hint Arts here.

Can we know the location of the each hint? I'd like to know where they were (especially Hint Art 2, since this is where we were stuck).
 
Team Hint Toad got Hint Art 4 first, and it's a tough one. I think you were randomizing the order teams got their Hint Art? If so, I think it makes sense to make the easier ones more likely to appear first (or just lock them in to be first) for difficulty curve reasons.

Yes, I was randomizing them. And yeah I guess it does make sense to order them based on difficulty. Makes it easier for me too.

I'll post all the solutions in a bit.

These solutions don't load, and trying to open them in a new tab leads to this:

I assume you grabbed them from a conversation (rather than uploading them directly to the post), and that's where the permission issues are coming in?
