On May 20, 2024, popular Kick streamer Paul "Ice Poseidon" took to X and announced an IRL Scavenger Hunt hosted by him in Austin, Texas. The Scavenger Hunt was open to everyone citywide and the only rule participants needed to follow was to stream on Kick while finding the clues.

The event lasted from May 28 to June 2, 2024, and was a hot topic amongst streamers on Kick. Many made headlines during the event for controversial and shocking moments. Here is a list of the top five shocking moments from the event.

The streamer was left shocked as the woman jumped into the water. Reynolds was subsequently told by authorities to leave.
The woman was seen shouting at Natalie to let her know that she couldn't swim, which scared the streamer. The 25-year-old explained why she couldn't help the woman as she was asked to leave. She said:
"Dude, I can't help her! They told me to leave. They told me I can't film."
3) Xenathewitch falling off a moving car during her stream
During Ice Poseidon's Scavenger Hunt, streamer Amaris "Xenathewitch" made headlines for her behavior. A clip went viral on social media where she was spotted on the roof of a stranger's car. Xena was extremely agitated after getting pulled off by the people tugging onto her feet and ended up falling.
Xena called everyone around her at the time "dumb" after she fell off the moving car and even went on to justify herself for being on the roof. During the Scavenger Hunt event, Ice Poseidon was streaming on his channel while watching others trying to find clues. He saw the moment of Xenathewitch fell off the moving car and he laughed, even calling the moment "hilarious":
"That was hilarious!"
2) Xenathewitch getting disqualified and vandalizing streamers' cars
Streamer Amaris "Xenathewitch" is known for her controversial personality on Kick. Shortly after participating in Ice's Scavenger Hunt, she was disqualified for cheating. The streamer had skipped a crucial step in finding a clue as she had already received the image from elsewhere. Ice spoke to Xena and disqualified her after hearing the explanation.
Xena later started an IRL stream on the platform where she was spotted spray painting and throwing powder over other streamers' cars. She titled the stream Sabotaging CX scavenger hunt. The creators were a part of the event and were on their way to finding clues when Xena attempted to sabotage them.
