One Registration – Ten individual stages!
We are a Michigan based treasure hunt where one registration fee gets you ten adventures and a chance at nine prizes worth at least $1000 each and the grand prize worth at least $20,000!
Solve Riddles, decipher codes, or locate objects (or all three!) as part of each stage across Michigan’s parks, trails, forests, shorelines, towns, and cities. The first person to solve each stage claims the prize!
What is the Hunt?
Our Inaugural Hunt is a Michigan based progressive treasure hunt that begins in June 2025. The Hunt consists of ten sequential stages, each with its own prize that can be claimed by following clues and hints given along the way. The prize to the first stage begins with a value of $1000 and increases to $1500 for the ninth stage prize. What’s more, the initial value of these prizes increases with each registration. The tenth stage’s prize, or Grand Prize, begins at $20,000 and also increases with each registration. The more Seekers who join the hunt, the larger the prizes become!
The total value of the prizes are updated regularly and can be found HERE.
How does it work? – Solve puzzles, locate artifacts, claim your prize!
Registered members (Seekers), will receive the initial clue on June 1st, 2025. The first Seeker to solve the stage and notify us will claim the prize. How to “win” each stage will vary, as will the method of verification.
Once completed, each stage will lead to an additional clue, or clues, to progress the hunt. These may come in the form of communications or be directly embedded in what is found or deciphered.
Each of the first nine stages will have a time limit between four and eight weeks. Hints will be periodically released to assist Seekers. If the prize is not earned within the allotted time, the solution will be revealed to all and the prize will be rolled into the subsequent stages, including the Grand Prize.
Once a prize and any associated follow on clues are earned, all Seekers will be notified. However, the finder will have a seven day head start before those associated clue are then revealed to all Seekers to continue the hunt.
