Although not released yet, The Heart of Gold Treasure Hunt is getting lots of attention! Many armchair treasure hunters are looking forward to supporting the treasure hunt when its crowdfunding project is released on March 18th—and then of course working on it upon its launch!
The Heart of Gold Treasure Hunt is planned to be launched in August of 2019, in recognition of the 40th anniversary of the launch of Masquerade; the armchair treasure hunt who inspired them all! The Heart of Gold Treasure Hunt will only launch if its crowdfunding project is successful. Please visit The Heart of Gold Website (theheartofgold.co.uk) for further details about this excellent pursuit.
For those unfamiliar with how a crowdfunding project works, let me offer my definition; ‘It’s a callout for all those who want to see something happen, to help make it happen, by supporting it before it does!’
If you want to join the exciting adventures of another treasure hunt, with a prize being a Heart of Gold worth £15,000, then you simply need to raise your hand, shout it out to others, and help support it!
Who wouldn’t want to join this awesome project? The hunt has been created by a successful and longtime armchair treasure hunter, Malcolm Brockbank. He knows how to create a fun challenge which dares readers to follow a story, explore images, and solve clues! In an upcoming Six Questions with Malcolm, we will learn how he did the same once, and came away with finding a hoard of diamond treasure in the Isle of Wight!
The Heart of Gold armchair treasure hunt will be in form of a storybook with clues hidden inside, both visual and literal. Like how a treasure was lost in Masquerade, a treasure has been lost in the Heart of Gold. You guessed it. The treasure lost was a heart of gold. And diamonds. And other precious gems of the Zodiac. The jewels decorate a Heart made of solid gold with a value of £15,000. AWESOME!
Heart of Gold will also be fully armchair! Meaning while there is a token hidden somewhere in the UK for someone to find and claim the treasure, it can also be claimed by sending the final, correct, and intended solution via email. No physical search needed.
So who is going to take up the challenge?! I’m sure everyone here of course!
The crowdfunding project released on the 18th offers many different options on how to do so. There are ways to merely support the project and be entered into a drawing to win a prize after the hunt is over, or the book can be pre-ordered/purchased with opportunities to become part of the UK Armchair Treasure Hunt club and other benefits.
No matter which way you choose, it is going to be exciting!
Please offer your support and join the upcoming adventures!
More on this hunt will be coming soon! As mentioned, a Six Questions with Malcolm Brockbank: Treasure Hunter and Creator of The Heart of Gold is forthcoming.

The thing I find most curious is the copyright date on their website. 😉
