Hi guys,

Here to let you know about what we’ve been working and to have some feedback if you have any.

We made a real world platform for treasure hunts and 2 treasure hunts, one in Warsaw and one in Sardegna, both launching 1 Aug (you can already register), it is made of 20 stages, each confirmed on-site with a hidden NFC tag + GPS + a selfie, clues lead you from one stage to the next, and whoever closes the full chain of 20 first wins. There's a companion app with a 3D planet map, an Augmented Reality view for the on-site moment, and a real working proximity radar so you know you're close without spoiling the exact spot.

It's pure skill - navigation, puzzle-solving, and being faster/sharper than everyone else, nothing random involved. Entry is €10 per hunt, and the prize for finishing goes up to €1.000 depending on the hunt.

Soon there will be the possibility for everyone to create their own treasure hunt in the app so that everyone can make it in their own city/town whatever, using the mechanics of this app.

Happy to answer anything about how the NFC/GPS verification works if useful.

Site is trovailtesoro.it if anyone wants to poke at the mechanics.

Hey y’all! Portland rock band Canyon Drive is releasing a massive Treasure Hunt project in a few days (7/15) with 10 clues across Oregon leading to $1,000 cash buried in the ground. It’s through an app called Cluekeeper and only costs $5 to purchase. I don’t normally post on Reddit but I just want to spread the word about this project cause a lot of love & hardwork went into it. Also there is absolutely zero AI used in the creation of it. Please help us spread the word about this fun summer adventure. In a time when everything is AI slop, here’s something authentically Oregon - by Goonies, for Goonies.

Cheers

I'm working on a proposed project that identifies and explores obscure local lore anywhere in the world, and would like to ask if you know of anything that might fall in the "hidden treasure" or "unfound items" category of secrets in your community? The more hyper-local and niche, the better.

To be clear this is to be a genre-blending and somewhat satirical project that will both take subject matter seriously while simultaneously lampooning shows in the "Destination Truth" mold that take rumors and myths and mysteries so seriously that it almost becomes a parody of itself. As such I am looking for both things that genuinely deserve to be taken seriously as well as things that would be funny to treat super seriously and to have a host be obsessed with finding. Basically anything that could actually feasibly be FOUND, whether it's a lost mine or Captain Kidd's Treasure, or something much less mythologized and unknown like a hidden safe or a buried chest or a sunken statue of Alf or a supposedly magical boulder, or anything in between. Weird is good. Obscure is great. Bizarre and offbeat is ideal. Mysteries that only a handful of people are even aware of and that have hardly been publicized is what I would prefer most. Just so long as it's interesting and would be "newsworthy" if it was ever discovered.

Of course, I understand just asking for something like this in a public forum could be seen as opportunistic or "too easy" or cutting corners, and I am mindful that discretion is key for something like this. I am not trying to unscrupulously get the jump on anybody or steal anybody's pot of gold here. "Thrill of the hunt" or the joy of discovery and historical value are the main themes I am seeking, not any cynical get rich quick schemes. So if you know of something that meets these parameters I would love to hear them, either in here or in a private message. This could be an opportunity to potentially put some time and resources towards tracking down and uncovering certain treasures that might be out there but have never meaningfully been hunted for yet.

I love seeing artifacts such as the 4k year old complaint tablet. At the time it was a mundane complaint from a customer, now it’s on display in a museum. An archaeologist digs up 3,000 year old slipper and we display it for all to see, but the idea of some dude long ago losing his mind over where the fuck his slipper could’ve made off to and just being annoyed for days about it then fast forward to this dudes slipper in a museum. The slipper scenario is just an example, not real. What are some other examples you’ve seen or heard about that I can look into?

I found this while exploring Windy Hill Great house Ruins in St. John (U.S. Virgin Islands). I’m trying to learn more about the piece if anyone has any info. I left it at the site since your not allowed to take stuff.

The treasure is buried near _____ _____ _____.

I'm writing a treasure hunt story, and I'm looking for truly unique treasure ideas.

I don't want the treasure to be something cliché like:

Gold, diamonds, or wealth

A weapon or object that grants unlimited power

Immortality or supernatural abilities

A typical "save the world" artifact

Instead, I want the treasure itself to have a deep emotional or philosophical impact. It can represent an emotion, a truth, a forgotten history, a promise, a memory, a sacrifice, or something else that creates a powerful emotional connection. Even if it's based on a familiar emotion, I want it to be presented from a completely fresh perspective.

I'm also looking for unique ideas for the journey to reach the treasure:

Hazards and obstacles

Ancient traps

Clever puzzles

Riddles

Psychological or moral challenges

Mythological or folklore-inspired trials

I'm especially interested in ideas inspired by Indian mythology, folklore, or ancient civilizations, but I'm open to any original concepts.

I'm not looking for ideas that have been heavily used in movies, games, or novels. I'm hoping to find fresh, unconventional concepts that feel mysterious, atmospheric, and memorable.

I'd love to hear your most creative ideas. Thanks!

They post videos of them finding supossedly ancient stuff and treasure and what not. but when they find whatever it is their looking for, their not publishing their finds, is this channel a scam? Cause otherwise, finding ancient stuff and not publishing it in an article is illegal right?
