From Amazon: All 4 chapters have different methods of breaking the code. An example of a solution might read: ZILKERPARKPHILOSOPHERSROCKEGYPTCOIN. A quick Google search will reveal that there is a Philosopher's Rock at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. You would then need to find the "Egypt Coin" by traveling (or having a partner travel) to Zilker Park to find the coin. Remember, it is not buried, only hidden.

Something interesting about this treasure hunt is the book as all words and no pictures, which is rare. Do we have any past hunts where clues have had to been deciphered from just text?

Did I really manage to get in on a treasure hunt right at the beginning this time? I'm always late to the party! Whoohoo!

Is this book Kindle only? Or is there a way to get a hard copy?

Is this book Kindle only? Or is there a way to get a hard copy? It is downloadable..... if you don't have a Kindle there are other ways, with use of apps, to download and get the book. From my understanding, there won't be print copies provided to searchers..... they are reserved more for promotional outlets.... |

For a Kindle book, if you have your font set differently (font size, font type, line spacing, words per line) than the creator Theco DeMaster, then the clues may not appear the same. They could be separated onto different pages, and the text will be on different lines and not aligned the same.

Let's hope the riddles are harder to decode than the creator's name.

From the Facebook page of The Great US Treasure Hunt:
It's come to our attention that some readers may be having trouble with page breaks and hyphenated words.
If you are having these issues, please note that there are no clues based on page breaks or hyphenated words.
Each of the four chapters leads to one item.
No clues are based on hyphenation.
We apologize for any inconvenience. Good luck and have fun!

From my understanding, there won't be print copies provided to searchers..... they are reserved more for promotional outlets.... So I downloaded kindle and previously paid for the hunt on Amazon. So, how do I go about finding the book since it didn't show up in my kindle search, and will they know I already paid? Sure didn't make this easy, or maybe I am the only one who cant figure it out...haha. Thanks for the help!! |

You should be able to search Amazon for the book and when you click on it, it should tell you you have already purchased it. Maybe you just need to download it to your kindle again. And this may be obvious, but make sure you are logged into your account.
