[edit] Balthazar Beauregard's Big Top Bonanza

The current location of the circus.

[edit] Previous locations

Note: From Week 13 onwards, the locations repeat the location of Week 1-12. For example, Week 17's location would be Week 4's location (Falador), and for Week 20, the location would be in Al Kharid (Week 7).

[edit] Penguin Hide and Seek

Main article: Penguin Hide and Seek

[edit] Penguin roaming areas

By comparing the clues given by Larry and the actual penguin sightings, the roaming area of each of the clues can be determined. At different times, different clues may be activated by the same penguin. Sometimes multiple penguins may be activating the same clue.

NOTE: The information regarding area should not be used as a basis for your search due to the penguins large roaming areas and that they are in different places in each world. However, penguins cannot change costume during the week. The one exception to this rule is during the Hallowe'en events where the Penguins change to Pumpguins (Pumpkin Penguins).

[edit] Week 64: 11 Nov 2009 - 17 Nov 2009

General clue areas are given by Larry, located in the Ardougne Zoo near the penguin exhibit, or Chuck the polar bear after Hunt for the Red Raktuber.

Penguin weekly reset time is on Wednesdays; exact time varies weekly.

You should look around the area as not all penguins are stationed directly at the given location. You can try world 60 (unofficial penguin hunting world) and one of the clan chats.

[edit] Shooting Star

Main article: Shooting Star

Shooting stars fall from the sky in RuneScape every 2 hours or so in only one location for each world. The location may be different in other worlds. When players mine through all layers of the star, they will find a Star sprite. The location of the crash sites are random, although the stars always crash near a mine or bank.


Viewing a shooting star with a teak telescope which shows landing area and approximate time.

Shooting stars can be viewed through a Telescope which gives a regional location and approximate time of its landing. The telescope can isolate the landing to the following 9 regions:
