of age or older, and (b) have owned and maintained a valid Second Life character
(“Avatar”) and account for at least 6 months.

Description:
Your participation in our study will involve visiting a destination in Kenya within Second Life. You will receive instructions to participate in a treasure hunt activity
and explore the site during your visit. This activity will take you about 30-45 minutes
to complete. After the completion of activity, you will take part in two Web surveys as
part of the in-world activity to evaluate your experience while visiting this site.
Participants will be asked to provide their Avatar’s name at the end of web survey,
which will enter them into a random drawing. Multiple entries from the same person will
not be accepted.

Prize:
The researcher will randomly select five winners from all eligible participants on May
10th, 2011. The prize of 5,000 Linden Dollars will be given in-world to each of the five
winners. The winners will be notified via in-world message so the prize can be awarded
to your avatar accounts. The prize is non- transferable, and no cash substitutes for
prizes are available.
