Camp Half-Blood Bead – Every Saturday

Each week, the Oracle will present a new challenge, and it’s up to you to find the answer. Deliver your solution at the end of the week to the Children’s Librarian on Saturday to earn a bead.
The weekly quests will be revealed at the start of each week, giving you plenty of time to uncover the answer.
