[FAQ] We Answer All Your Questions

How do I register?

You can register [HERE]. It is free.

My answer (password) doesn’t work — why?

The password system is case-sensitive. Use CAPITAL LETTERS, no spaces, and only in English.

TIP: Type your answer in a text file first. Check your spelling. Then copy and paste it into the password field.

Note: Most passwords also require a prefix or suffix character — like a star (*) or hash (#) or number(s).

To find out which character goes with which password, check the Password Tip Sheet inside your Treasure Hunters Kit.

How will I know if the treasure is found?

You probably won’t know immediately — unless the founder announces it in the news or on social media.
We will update this site the moment we receive confirmation.

What is in the actual treasure chest?

There is a hidden wooden box for you to find.

Inside the wooden chest are the instructions for claiming the treasure, as well as a few unique items for verification.

For security, the real treasure items is kept safe by an official Steward.

The exact value of the treasure is unknown, but it contains at least three ounces of 99% pure silver, items from sponsors and much more.

Is it dangerous?

For most people, no — but use common sense.

The chest is NOT in:

  • Water
  • Mountains
  • Caves
  • Mines
  • Tunnels
  • Graveyards
  • Private property

Stay safe. No treasure is worth reckless behavior.

PS: Please read the RULES and stay within the rules!

NB: Use common sense.

Game Master Note: It is unfortunate that for some people, everything they do seams to be dangerous. For these people crossing a road is extremely dangerous while others who use common sense cross the same road safely a thousand time a day. If you fall in the “DANGER” category – please do not participate in the game.
