SCAVENGER HUNT PUZZLE
Team RED member: Suzanne van Rooyen
Sixteen-year-old Tyri wants to be a musician and wants to be with someone who gets her musical aspirations.
Q-I-99, aka ‘Quinn,’ lives in a scrap metal sanctuary with other rogue droids. While some use violence to make their voices heard, demanding equal rights for AI enhanced robots, Quinn just wants a moment on stage with his violin to show the humans that androids like him have more to offer than their processing power.
Tyri and Quinn’s worlds collide when they’re accepted by the Baldur Junior Philharmonic Orchestra. As the rift between robots and humans deepens, Tyri and Quinn’s love of music draws them closer together, forcing Tyri to question where her loyalties lie and Quinn to question his place in the world. With the city on the brink of civil war, will Tyri’s and Quinn’s passion for music be enough to hold them together while everything else crumbles down around them, or will the truth of who they are tear them apart?
Here’s what Suzanne has to say about I Heart Robots!
Music is a huge part of I Heart Robot. Not only is it their mutual love of music that brings Tyri and Quinn together in the story, but music is what defines them. Without being able to play violin, Tyri and Quinn would feel empty. In fact, for Quinn, his life may even depend on music and the opportunity he gets by playing in the orchestra to show the humans in his world that androids have emotion, that they can create and dream – that they might actually have a soul.
Throughout the book, Tyri and Quinn share many musical moments whether in rehearsal together or while hanging out. During one particular scene, a scene which marks a major turning point in their relationship, Quinn is at Tyri’s house and discovers her vintage CD collection. They spend the afternoon together listening to Tyri’s eclectic collection spanning several decades and dozens of styles and Tyri’s discovers another side to Quinn.
For this year’s Scavenger Hunt, I’m sharing a playlist with some of the songs Tyri and Quinn might’ve listened to that afternoon. Sadly, few people can experience the music the way that Quinn does, but we can still listen to and appreciate compositions from Beethoven and The Beatles, Scriabin and Nirvana.
I’ve also included some super special fanart by the incredibly talented Ekaterina Trayt. This piece was drawn specially for this post and you won’t find this artwork anywhere else! To see more work by the artist, please head over here (website link: http://forest-lair.blogspot.com/)

The next song on the play list, Way Down We Go, I’ve been listening to that song and “I can’t Go On Without You” by the same singer, Kaleo, on repeat for three days straight LMAO).

It’s under “continue the hunt”. He picks a number (or recently, some other direction to follow) and you have to find the blog hosting him, and look at the playlist and follow his directions. Todays directions are to pick your favorite song off his playlist. So you find the blog hosting him, and pick your favorite song.
OOH, not a number this time.. it’s different 🙂
My fave of those songs is Pompeii by Bastille.
Congrats on winning Saturday’s hunt question. Check your email! 🎉😎
My favorite is #7, Pompeii!
I’m gonna go with #8 Sabotage by Beastie Boys
#7 Pompeii by Bastille

Burn Hollywood Burn
The last song on the playlist is #10, Burn Hollywood Burn by …. I’m not actually sure. Public Enemy (whoever that is), Ice Cube, and…Big Daddy? O.O
So I am not entirely sure to which Playlist you are referring to, I thought I would name the answer to both options…
Last song on Suzannes playlist: The Piano Knows Something I Don’t Know – Panic! At The Disco
Last song on your Playlist (Jennifers website): Burn Hollywood Burn – Public Enemy, Ice Cube, Big Daddy Kane
The last song on the playlist is #10 Burn Hollywood Burn by Public Enemy featuring Ice Cube & Big Daddy Kane.
Congrats!!! You are the winner. Please check your inbox. 🎉😎
Sadness. But thanks for the chance!
