What are the Wonderland Treasure Hunts?
The Wonderland Treasure Hunts are different treasure hunt books created by David Jacobsen. They are armchair treasure hunts – which means inside the books are clues to claim a treasure. The first, The Hatter’s Hat, was released in November of 2020. Since then, David has released a few other books. They hold an Alice in Wonderland theme.
