Trivia

 * Leading up to the release of the first clue, Jagex posted three short teasers, consisting of several "just for fun" clues for players to solve. These clues had nothing to do with the the official Cryptic Clue Fest IV.
 * This is the second Cryptic Clue Fest to be a part of another major event. The first was Cryptic Clue Fest III, which provided a back story to the discovery of the Clan Citadels.
 * When talking to Wydin before delivering him his items on day two, he will be singing the song "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts", a novelty song composed in 1944 by the English songwriter Fred Heatherton.
 * The phrase 'Riots Galore' was possibly chosen as rhyming slang for Falador because it has historically played host to a number of riots.
 * When you turn in the first set of items to the Permit Officer, she lists a set of documents that had to be submitted. One is The GPO-1337-33/A Form. 1337 is gamer slang for Leet or Elite. Furthermore, GPO stands for "General Post Office", the state postal system of the U.K. Although it is now known as the "Royal Mail", many of their official documents still use the General Post office, or GPO title.
 * The map given as an item clue for day 3 is a topological map, in a similar style to that of the London Underground.
 * The Dwarf named Honeydew that Mod Timbo mentions is a reference to a well-known British YouTuber, Simon Lane of the Yogscast who portrays himself as Honeydew the dwarf for their series on Minecraft.
 * The day 4 clue is a reference to the game Cluedo.
 * Each of the character clues has a structure similar to that of a limerick, however they do not rhyme twice on the first line. Otherwise, they are the same.
 * If you solve the character clue for the next day you can actually get the response from them to confirm they are a Jubilee supplier.
