I can't find clue#1! The first item that comes up is https://aadl.org/catalog/record/10300508 and there is no summer code. I also checked the next two Blue's Clues. ??
So the results are different…
So the results are different for my daughter (with a youth account) than they are for me, even when we search the same word, in this case "clues". For my daughter, the first result was the proper Blue's Clues catalog item that had the Summer Game code. For me, I had to search by "Blue's Clues" and even then it was the 5th item.
Assuming the catalog search is smart enough to adjust results based on your profile, that's going to make the Summer Game harder.

Oh, I found it. If you sort by books, it is the third item that appears.

You should tell people to sort by books since it is the first book, not entry. Otherwise your first clue isn’t accurate and will confuse newcomers.
Alas, this new catalog is…
Alas, this new catalog is difficult to navigate (and returns strangely ordered search results). I can't find #2. It's certainly not the result mentioned in the clue.

totally agree about the catalog, it is a nightmare!

Oh yeah totally! I love that they want to update the website, but it's honestly such a nightmare to navigate. I just want to read books for goodness sake!

Yes, I'm also unable to find code #2; I don't find the navigation of the catalog itself too problematic (certainly different, but it will just take a bit of adjustment), but the order of search results definitely seems like it doesn't match the instructions in the clue. Has anyone reading these comments succeeded in locating this elusive code?

Its page, not result number 3.

I had to further narrow the searches by item type and audience, respectively, to find codes #1 and #2.
I finally found it. It was …
I finally found it. It was #20 when the search word was searched inside quotations and #43 when it was searched without quotations. That's mostly what I meant about difficult to navigate. How can quotations make such a HUGE difference when the search is only one word? A while back, I had searched for "Chicago Fire" looking for DVDs of the TV show. The results were so ridiculous, that I eventually gave up and I still don't know if the library carries all of them (I did find some).

It seems they were overzealous in their fix? I had entered four codes, and now it says I have entered zero.

It seems that the Summer Game team is still working on setting this badge up properly, as the display keeps changing for me. When I first opened the badge, it gave me credit for the first code, which I had not yet had the chance to search for, but after reloading the badge a couple of times it disappeared. I've now located all but one of the codes (I'm still stuck on #2), but it's now fluctuating between displaying my 4/5 progress and indicating that I've found none of the codes, or only some of them.
I guess we've started playing early enough that the game is still in the works. :)

I'm sort of worried that they may have started writing hints and hiding the codes BEFORE the redesign...

It keeps flipping back and forth between saying that i've found all the codes, which I have, and saying I haven't found any codes.

Even when I search under books, there isn't a single search result for "clues".
I don't know the best place…
I don't know the best place to give this feedback, but the summer game website used to be a million times easier to navigate when the badges you hadn't completed yet were still grayed-out. Is it possible to bring back this feature?

I don't know if this comment was ever seen but the feature is back! Thanks, AADL Summer Game staff!

Is it just me, or is this badge a little too easy because it specifically tells you what to search for?

Yes, it's VERY easy because it's specifically for players who have never played before and need a tutorial for getting started! Thanks for playing! - erin GM

Thanks to all the bug…
Thanks to all the bug-reporters and -fixers so far, I've had no problems finding the first three clues!
I'm writing to report an error in the instructions for finding the fourth code. They end "filter your search by Materials: Tools." But there's no "Materials" in the list of filters -- "Tools" are under "Format". (Perhaps "Materials" was a category in the old catalog?)
Question/suggestion: Is there, or could there be in the future, a way to earn points for finding errors? :-)
That is a great idea!
