When I was young I saw an article in Macleans magazine about this Masquerade book. I was very impressed. It had a picture, must have been that picture, of the rabbit. The prize was all kinds of good; classy, pretty, animals, cute, also valuable. It's actually small. Rabbits/hares seem to be a natural part of treasure hunts ("Follow the white rabbit"). Using art as part of the mystery was nice, plus some cryptic writing to figure out. Even the title of the book was attractive. This gave me, not only a lifelong fondness toward treasure hunts, but treasure hunts with these features.

Physical bitcoin? I didn't know they exist. I've pondered collectable cards as prizes, but that doesn't quite work for me. This man got prizes for different generations, which is thoughtful.

The Secret

Nice presentation. Still mostly secret.

Solving a 19th-century cipher leads to gold treasure that will make you rich. Not a game.


 
 
 
 


 
 

There have been more than one movie about treasure hunts.


 
 
 
 


 
 

On the Trail of the Golden Owl. Fake clues? On l'a trouvé.

For more, you could look at "Finding the Treasure of the Golden Owl".

I wonder what they do with word/letter games in French, with the accents.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Jon Collins-Black has made a book with a treasure hunt, leading to treasure hidden in five states. So what could it be like if we did something like that in Canada? Get five designers/writers, each one making a treasure hunt for one of the five regions of Canada's provinces. Five writers independently take their own distinct approach to the puzzle, presentation and treasure, all winding up in the same book.
