What are Veil Treasure Hunts?
Veil Treasure Hunts are limited-time treasure hunts lasting between 7 and 22 days. Each day at 10 AM, the search area shrinks, and a new hint is released on the website and via email. Hints vary in format, including images, written clues, or maps. A trail cam provides image updates every 30 minutes or when motion is detected. The first person to physically touch the treasure wins but must have a registered account (free or paid) to claim the prize.

What type of the clues are in Veil Hunts?
In the MW Six Questions, this is what the creators, Jeff and Paul had to say:
- What type of clues will these be? Will anyone be able to solve them or are they only solvable by a genius?
We are not geniuses, so they will definitely be solvable by laypeople! We have 6(ish) different categories for our clues–photos at/near the treasure site, maps, written context, visual context, word solves and cyphers, and a miscellaneous bucket of things that don’t fit into any of those categories. Each hunt features 3 different clue types—so one hunt may feature a riddle, a map-based clue, and an image. Another might feature a word solve, visual context, and something from the miscellaneous bucket.
Our clues are structured to progressively build upon each other. Rather than having one “I solved the puzzle” moment, we send one clue type every 3 days starting on day 1. Then clue type 2 the next day and clue type 3 the day after. So if you receive a map-based clue on day 1, you’ll get the second map-based clue on day 4. This allows people who, for example, are good at riddles to play along and receive a riddle of equivalent benefit on days 2, 5, 8 and so on.
When we say clues allow for progression, what we mean is a clue on day 5 may narrow you down to 20 potential areas. A clue on day 8 may narrow it down to 10. A clue on day 11 may narrow it down to 5. So players should get the feeling that they are closing in on the correct location as the game progresses.
