But I like my way of doing these.
When I was in my mid teens I hiked the trail around Lake Louise. I had a superlative Yes song going through my head. I thought of a mini game called Treasure of the Silver Dragon. Don't ask for details, how it worked, because there never were any. There would have been a map in there. This gave me a great feeling. But nothing came of it.
So what about a treasure hunt, "Treasure of the Silver Dragon"? The prize is fifty silver coins.
.. and, alas, there already is a treasure hunt called "Silver Dragon's Hoard". It's Canada too.
Q: How is Silver Dragon's Hoard different from the proposed Thesaurus Canada?
A: Silver Dragon's Hoard is solving riddles for various amounts of money, not exactly a treasure hunt. It is all online, with no book to buy or physical treasure to pick up.
Also Quebec is verboten.
