• There are 7 stages to the hunt.
  
• All stages must be solved in order for you to finish the hunt.
  
• You must solve all stages in ascending order (1 first then 2 etc).
  
• Each stage will provide 1 or more hints or clues about the next stage.
  
• You must keep a personally diary (notepad file) with the solution for each stage to submit as your final answer.
  
• Only make 1 submission once you have finished step 7.
  
• All the steps can be completed on the Invex Gaming website (however, third party sites may help). You do not need to visit the game servers.
  
• This thread can be used for general discussion etc.
  
• You may work in teams if you like but do not discuss solutions publically.
  
• You can use incognito mode to avoid leaking a stage via the 'whos online' feature. We've protected most stages though but I recommend using it.
  
• You can complete most stages without a forum account but will need one to submit/solve the whole thing.
  
• DO NOT GIVE OUT SOLUTIONS OR HINTS.
  
• Staff will give out hints as time goes on (to help people get closer to finishing)
  
• Staff may participate but are ineligible to win prizes.
  

• VIP Prize (Package 2) for 1st person to complete the hunt.
  
• Forum award for top 10 people to finish.
  
• Forum game award for all participants (if you don't already have it).

You must look at all staff members signatures. Only Byte's stands out:
 

This is the EZIC symbol. You could either recognise it if you played 'Papers Please' the game or you could have done a Google reverse image search for it.
Following the clue, we take the acronym EZIC (all caps) and add .php to it and try to visit an Invex page (with Invex website domain as the prefix).
We get a valid but hidden page: https://www.invexgaming.com.au/EZIC.php which is the start of Stage 2.

The EZIC page is very simple:

The hint "This doesn't seem right" is meant to convey that this is not the real Invex 404 page.
So we go to any non-existing url like https://www.invexgaming.com.au/efdewf to reach Stage 3.

We arrive at this page:

We are told Daddy is away right now and to come back later.
If we look at the URL of the image we see the image is called '701PM.jpg'.
Either this hint or the hint from Stage 5 should let you know that Daddy will be back at 7:01PM.
The page also tell you the server uses AEST timezone and shows the current time so you be sure not to miss it.
Once you reload the page at any second during 7:01PM, you get the start of Stage 7 message.
