This year's Scavenger Hunt kicked off on August 8, 2025, after being announced earlier by Ice Poseidon in an X post on July 28, 2025. Xenathewitch, a participant, was seen using paint guns along with her team to seemingly deter other bounty hunters from a location related to the hunt.

A clip from her Kick broadcast on August 9, 2025, shows Xenathewitch shooting at a woman who was wearing beachwear. Later, it was revealed that the streamer had opened fire on a worker at the dock where they had been. After being informed of her potential transgression, Xena replied with:

Not the first time Xenathewitch has been criticized for her behavior during Ice Poseidon's Scavenger Hunt event

Xenathewitch is known for her controversial actions during her Kick broadcasts, which have even earned her a ban from the platform. Subsequently, the streamer has been the subject of backlash online, but has still managed to acquire a substantial following of 40,000 on the Stake-backed website.

For instance, on October 23, 2024, Xenathewitch was banned from the platform after trying to subdue a fellow streamer who appeared drunk and belligerent. Prior to that, in January 2024, she took some flak after getting into a verbal spat with a cab driver, with her cameraperson throwing the driver's phone on the ground.

In May 2024, Xenathewitch was disqualified from the previous year's Scavenger Hunt event by Ice Poseidon for breaking the rules of the game. Subsequently, she located the cars of the streamers who were completing the game's challenges and attempted to hinder their progress by pouring powder on and spray-tagging their vehicles.
