List of active treasure hunts:

(Note: an armchair treasure hunt can require going boots on the ground - OR - be fully solved from home. The term ‘armchair hunt’ refers ONLY to the fact that clues (some clues) are to be solved from the ‘armchair’ - BEFORE going BOTG (Boots on the Ground). Some hunts, however, can be solved all from home - these are considered ‘fully armchair’.)

I’ve broken down the lists into 4 different levels. Platinum (over a million in treasure), Gold (over 100,000), Silver (over 10,000), and Copper ($0 and up/less than $10,000).

Click on the links for the level you want to go…

Platinum Level Treasure Hunts

Hunts with million-dollar treasures to find


Gold Level Treasure Hunts

Hunts with treasures valued at $100,000 and up (but less than a million)


Silver Level Treasure Hunts

Hunts with treasures valued at $10,000 and up (but less than $100,000)


Copper Level Treasure Hunts

Hunts with treasures valued at $0 and up (but less than $10,000)


I’ll also be adding puzzle hunt books (those without official prizes/treasures) and feature a Kid’s Corner in the coming weeks!

Lots to explore with MW!
