There were two parts to the '''2008 Thanksgiving event''', the [[2008 Thanksgiving event#Hidden_Turkeys|Hidden Turkeys]] and the [[2008 Thanksgiving event#Turkey_Carnage|Turkey Carnage]]. It was available from [[26 November]] to [[30 November]] [[2008]]. Although considered an actual "holiday Event" there was no notice in the [[Update:Behind the Scenes updates|Behind the scenes]] message.

===Hidden Turkeys===
There were ten turkeys in disguises around some corners of the free-to-play world. It was played in a similar way to [[Penguin Hide and Seek]].

To start the search mini-quest, players had to talk to the [[Cook's brother]] in [[Lumbridge]]. He would then give players a [[Turkey book|Turkey Book]], which was used to record the turkeys found so far. If players spotted one (by spying on them in exactly the same way as a penguin), they would give a hint to find another turkey. Once players had found all ten, they were rewarded with a [[cornucopia]], which can 'store' up to 140 lifepoints by means of combining healing effects of any foods. After killing a certain amount of turkeys, players were also rewarded with the "[[Give Thanks]]" emote.

Turkeys in the minimap were shown as yellow dots. However, if players needed a hint as to the location of the turkeys, they could get a book from the brother of the [[Lumbridge Castle]] [[Cook (Lumbridge)|Cook]] (who was located next to the Lumbridge Castle Cook).

====Examine texts====

* Barrel - "The most delicious barrel you have ever seen."
* Bush - "It rustles deliciously." or "Who would have thought that leaves could smell so edible?" or "You feel a strange urge to pour gravy on that bush." or "Did that bush just pour sauce on itself?
* Cactus - "Are those spines or feathers? Either way, it looks delicious." or " Prickly, but strangely tasty-looking..."
* Crate - "A crate. But delicious."
* Rock - "Now that's a rock I'd try to make into soup!"
* Toadstool - "A horrible fungus, but there is something strangely tasty about it."

===Turkey Carnage===
If players preferred a more direct approach to get to the turkey drumsticks, they could find groups of undisguised [[turkey]]s waddling about in groups throughout the previously mentioned places, notably south of [[Falador]]. Killing the turkeys would drop [[raw turkey]] or [[raw turkey drumstick]] or (rarely) a [[cornucopia]].

A cornucopia is still dropped by slaying certain birds.

==Rewards==

*The main rewards were the cornucopia and the [[Give Thanks]] emote.
*Players could keep the turkey book, raw turkey, cooked turkey, burnt turkey, raw turkey drumstick, cooked turkey drumstick and burnt turkey drumstick.

==Trivia==

* This is the first Thanksgiving-related "event" in ''[[RuneScape]]''.
* The release date of this event follows the Thanksgiving holiday of the United States, while the holiday takes place on the second Monday in October in Canada, and is not celebrated at all in England, where the [[Jagex]] company is based.
* On the release of the event, the number of scenes for the "log-in screen" were expanded to include several new areas.
* When you examined the turkey hiding as a rock, it says "Now that's a rock I'd try to make into soup!", this is a reference to the Folk Tale "Stone Soup".
* This event let free players try penguin hunting by replacing penguins with turkeys.
* On the 28th April 2009, 3 bugs were discovered. One was walking around in a giant turkey form, one was a deformed human, and the other one was staying as a giant turkey for however long as you like. To perform the "walking turkey" glitch, the player needed to click on the emote, then rapidly click on a skill guide in the player's Stats. When the skill guide shows up, the player would wait till they think the emote has finished, then he/she would click on the minimap and QUICKLY click on a skill guide. The skill guide would show up, and they would not be able to see themselves, but other people would see them in a giant turkey form. This glitch has been fixed a day after.
