Mysterious Writings has hosted the Masquerade Tribute since its launch three years ago. It has been the event of the year for armchair treasure hunters to come together and enjoy multiple puzzles, hunts, and games.

It was exciting to reach a landmark goal during this current year:  Raising over $10,000 (and growing) for charity since the Tribute’s debut in 2021.

This goal couldn’t have happened without the many contributors and donators over the years. The treasure hunts, treasures, and prizes of drawings, games, and puzzles, have all been donated by active members in the community – allowing all proceeds to go to charity. THANK YOU.

Following are the summaries of the first two years:

Summary of year 2021

Summary of year 2022

As you can see there were multiple winners each year! 41 different winners of various prizes and hunts in 2022! And near the same for 2021.

This year, to date, during the Pre-Tribute games and puzzles, even before the treasure hunts have been released, there have been numerous winners.

  • Mini Puzzle #1 – Congrats to MoFinn – $100 Amazon Gift Card – Runner up winner TBA
