Over the last few months a few new Armchair Treasure Hunts have been released. A basic definition for an Armchair Treasure Hunt is ‘a produced hunt for a treasure which has been intentionally hidden and requires the solving of clues, to either physically find a hidden treasure in the real world, or to provide a correct claim to the creator of the hunt for the treasure hunt’s prize’. There are various formats and ways these treasure hunts can be constructed.

Below are some of the newly released armchair treasure hunts and how you can join their adventures:
TROVE: The armchair treasure hunt, Trove, was published by Sandra Miller and holds a prize of a bejeweled bracelet valued at over $2,200 dollars. A coded stone is hidden somewhere in the New England states. Clues to find this coded stone are given on Sandra Miller’s Website, but her Book TROVE is required to solve them.
Discussions on the hunt can be found on the MW Forum. A few searchers have been ‘Boots on the Ground’ for this coded stone, but it remains yet to be found! Join the adventures. Might you be the one to come home with the stone and claim the Treasure!
Gargaphia: Where History Means Murder is a four staged armchair treasure hunt book, published by Robert Jones. While the final ‘Treasure’ to claim is an interesting hoard of over 1,000 collectible items, there is a $1,000 dollar cash prize for the first person to decode the book’s first stage puzzle. This puzzle is found on hunt’s website.
The Golden CD is an armchair treasure with a prize valued at over $2,000. Clues are given within 5 songs on ‘The Golden CD’- available to order on the hunt’s website. Learn more about BornTalent’s treasure and hunt in Six Questions with BornTalent.
