Hunt by Instant Apple Pie
 
Since I'm a scrub what does BLITZ mean?
If you finish an official hunt within 1 minute, you get 10 extra points added onto how many points you got for the place you got (1st, 2nd, etc.). This is identified with [BLITZ], to know they got the extra points for accomplishing this. Consolation prizes can't get BLITZ points.
