For 33 years, Grand Rapids, Michigan area residents looked forward to beating the winter doldrums by searching for treasure thanks to The Wyoming Riddler. In 2014, Joe Cramer retired as the Wyoming Riddler. Now, five years later, the winter tradition is being reborn. As an homage to his service and the years of free fun created by Joe, I'm launching an annual treasure hunt as The GRRiddler (Grand Rapids Riddler).
Keeping in Joe's tradition, The GRRiddler hid a metal medallion somewhere in the greater Grand Rapids area. The medallion is marked with R.S.T.H (which means Read and Seek Treasure Hunt). On the first Tuesday of November the riddle was released. The puzzle can be solved by using a greater Grand Rapids area map to decipher the clues. The medallion is accessible 24 hours a day by the public. Additional clues will be released the first Tuesday of each month until February. The hunt will end on the last day of February. If the medallion is not returned to me by that time, the hunt will be over and the prize will roll over to the next year.
This is a BOTG (boots on the ground) treasure hunt. The reward is relatively small so the audience for this hunt is also expected to be small both in numbers and geography. For additional details, please visit The Grand Rapids Riddler.
The riddle for GRRiddler 2020:
"When you've found this wonderful town, you'll need to go one by one. As the sun goes down, be among the first and keep your head up. That's it. Ok?"
