The treasure hunt material is above, not going anywhere. New and extra material will go below.

Let's start to talk more real world:
Hypothetical. The working title is Thesaurus Canada. That might be an unhelpful title, particularly on the spine of the book.
The territories are explicitly out. Too many problems. People die doing these hunts.
Five designers making five to ten, let's say eight treasure hunts. When you consider that The Secret had twelve separate treasures all organised by one designer, you can understand why it's so darn hard to nail down this number. How much would be in French? All very hypothetical anyway. And here's another twist: sequel books. "They found the one in Quebec already."
The floor value of a treasure is $1,000, unless we're doing the set of trinkets. The maximum value is $31,000. The average value is, uh, $9k, inversely proportional to the number of treasures. The median would be, I don't know, $3k. I think I'll put you in charge of getting the financing. There might be some corporate support, like that gold macaroni. Your idea of a lot of money might be very different from mine.
I'm skeptical of cryptocurrency. On the other hand, each designer can do what he wants. Having a choice of sport for season tickets is probably too messy, so no. Note that winners may want to be anonymous.
How big is the book? A coffee table book? I prefer smallish.
There could be even more cloak and dagger than you think. There are the related matters of secrecy and people not wanting to be harassed. Listen to a few seconds of this.
If I actually managed to corral five designers, I would keep things cagey, distant at first, for two separate reasons. One is to encourage people to go down their own distinct path for how to design their hunt. It's good for creativity. The other is for secrecy, like above. If someone talks to any one designer, all the tricks and locations will not be known.
On the other hand, the group would have reasons to talk with each other, over time.
A treasure hunt should not be too easy because it would get solved right away, players would no longer have a challenge, and books would not be bought. A treasure hunt should not be too hard because players would be frustrated and put off, urban areas get redeveloped over time, and designers die. That's an advantage to having a variety of treasure hunts.
Canada has snow, and seasons.
There have been several treasure hunt books in the U.S.A. Britain and France too. But not Canada as far as I know. The country is spread out.
There is a community of treasure hunters online, as well as real life as you can see. They're a detail-oriented bunch. It's fun, community, some walking around outside.
I came across silver coins at Canada Post. Nice looking, maple leaf, CAD $60-70. Here if you're interested.
I'm partial to the half dollars, coat of arms. By the way, this is the first time in my long life that the queen is no longer on the coin, replaced by her son.
So .. what were Viking locks like?
I've been wanting to post this for some time. But now I see
You could have a treasure chest buried somewhere. You know where it is buried by finding the key in the tree over it.
Newfoundland had Vikings.
If I was to make a proper themed game it would be about a cabinet shuffle.

I sense a pattern. Dro Polter too.
If you're really stuck on Dec. 24, or if you just want to, you could make Better Letter (in the library) and put it in an envelope. No trading, and you should sort out what to do about creating the key words. If you're really really in
a jam you could effectively make an I.O.U. and make it on Dec. 25, perhaps with others. It's about a one-off group experience, for a wide range of different people.
And speaking of doing things at the last minute, I should get going on the annual treasure hunt, including three crossword puzzles. One end result of a crossword puzzle was to be BAROMETER, leading to the grandparents' house.
It turns out this is vacated and locked. Crucially, I got my hands on a Hanayama Harmony puzzle. It's pretty, actually works well as
a tree ornament, it's good for music people, and it's a relatively easy puzzle. Also might not be terrible for a treasure chest.
Well this is hard to pin down. Banana and chocolate. We'll start with that.
Some things are love it or hate it. This Bananko is love it and hate it (well, not be enamoured by it). I figured I would get two, for stockings. Then I figured I would get a bunch for people to try out.
Then I went down to two or one, then zero. Finally settled on three. This review will explain a lot. Peculiar texture.

Q: Who is this?
Picture older. But not the frizzy hair. Dark, bushy, frowny eyebrows. There's something about the mouth, the sides going down. You won't get it.
That's a great photograph.

You should look up Toronto Godspell. But we're wandering off topic.

Putting together a science lesson on rainbows, including refraction.
Why is your vision worse in water?
Your vision is worse in water because of refraction, the light being bent in that different, denser medium. After seeing the video I think I misunderstood how vision works. There are two solutions to the water
refraction problem. One is to use goggles in water, so that it is air next to your cornea. The other is to have a thick lens, like a literal fish eye. Would a camera fish eye work under water?
The thumbnail shows him looking under water, blowing bubbles that will provide a layer of air under his eyes.
This is refraction. Light is both bent and split into primary colours.
This is also the album cover for Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. This is an imperfect picture.
This is refraction. The light bends. So shouldn't it produce a spectrum? I can't spot it.
Yes, it does produce a spectrum. But I tried, and couldn't produce it. I put a light in a box with a hole and fired the light through the glass. Hmm ..
So what's going on under the hood with refraction?
How well do you understand refraction?
YouTube short. This shows why light bends in a denser (transparent) material. The original video is here. This is the 3Blue1Brown mentioned by Veritassium.
This shows why light slows down in a denser (transparent) material.
