Clues will appear in a 24-page comic book, on side-by-side pages--text on the left, illustration on the right. Solve the puzzle, send us the solution, go get the coin, win $1,000! Teams are allowed and can split prizes, $500 for the solver, $500 to the finder.
All books and coins that are pre-ordered by October 21 will be mailed simultaneously via US mail, first class, to all Hunters. See the Rules Section below for full details.
Good luck and have fun!
Remember, this is a skill contest, not gambling or a game of chance.
in public, each worth at least $1,000 (see below) to the person or team that can both solve one of the puzzles in this book and physically find the actual coin.
Ten puzzles each pinpoint the exact location of a coin; hidden, but NOT BURIED, in public, and outdoors.
within the comic book. The pages on the left are partners with the pages on the right.
Some puzzles may require only the left or right hand pages, some may require both pages.
Ten coins are hidden in ten different US states.
No water exploration is necessary, no medians, traffic circles, or other perilous locations. No hiking, climbing, or strenuous searching is required.
Do not search at night, or in dangerous weather conditions. Obey all laws or posted rules. Be safe. DO NOT DIG; coins are hidden, not buried.
“Solvers” may team up with a “Finder” who actually finds the physical coin, and split the cash prize 50-50. All winners must be legal US residents and provide necessary tax information, as contest winnings are considered income. Each coin has a unique serial number to prevent copies or fakes. Both the Finder and the Solver will receive a coin.
We encourage you to record your "find" and post to your social media sites!
Good luck and have fun!
This is a GAME OF SKILL, not chance!
Once you believe you have solved a puzzle, send your detailed solution to solution@thegreatustreasurehunt.com and either travel to get the coin, or have a Finder get it. If you are sending a Finder, note the Finder’s name in your Solution Email.
No player can win more than once as a Solver or Finder, though a player could be a Solver for one coin and the Finder of another. Any player who is both the Solver and Finder of the same coin wins the full prize money for that coin, plus the Illustration.
Finding the physical coin is required for the winning person or team. Merely solving a puzzle is not good enough; your team must be the one to actually find the coin.
Once TGUSTH has verified you have the coin and the correct puzzle solution, you or your team will be declared winners. Simply finding a coin through a lucky search, but without the proper puzzle solution, is not good enough. If a coin is “accidentally found,” the winner of the full prize shall be the first person to send the correct solution for that location.
We will not answer questions via email. Your solution must be precise and exact. Do not travel on a guess. There will be no reimbursement for travel, but there are no penalties for incorrect guesses.
No returns or refunds after October 21
Our e-book was released in late November, and the first chapter was not deciphered until just before Christmas. Pittsburgh artist Beth Hovanec phoned her friend Nancy Zitko in Las Vegas, who found the Silver Z under a park bench in Eldorado Park.
The Kneisser Family all worked on decoding clues in the Great US Treasure Hunt, finally cracking a code which led Tony and Margo to Railyard Park in Santa Fe, NM, where they found a set of tiny angel wings.
World class crossword constructor (LA Times, WSJ, etc) Kristian House traveled from New York to Boise to find a token hidden under a children's slide at Lion's Park in Nampa.
With an ice storm bearing down on both Dallas and Nashville, Lauren Roberts in Dallas found a friend in Nicholette Rock in Nashville, who raced to Pinkerton Park at Franklin, TN, where she found the Griffin token taped under a drinking fountain.
Tony Kneisser, the best puzzle-solving truck driver in the US, became the first, and so far the only, repeat winner in the Hunt, driving from the East Coast to Las Vegas so he could be in position when the clues were released. TWOpeat!
Hunters were told they could find a coin within 50 miles of the Hollywood sign, and we took it to the limit, hiding the coin in Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley, where Jennifer Rao beat the second place team by mere minutes.
Jeremy Dobbins and the Aultman Family pulled into the parking lot at Stone Hill Park in Pflugerville, and Jeremy's hustle paid off for him and his team, as he found the coin under an ordinary picnic table.
Jeremy Lombardo and Awad Bilal took off from separate locations for Rock Creek Park, DC, without realizing they were playing for the same team, and arrived at Miller Cabin simultaneously, where the coin was hidden under a stone step.
Great TV news coverage from WLOS Asheville brought over 2,000 new registrants in 12 hours, and 14 separate groups to Leah Chiles Park within 60 minutes of each other, but Nasrin Azari beat them all, finding the coin under the red slide.
Bob Harmon is a local, but still had to drive over an hour to position himself near Milwaukee, and he ended up being the sixth and final Finder of The Great US Treasure Hunt 2022, at Wirth Park in Brookfield, Wisconsin.
