OVER $2000 in TREASURES TO CLAIM! AND GROWING.... as other Hunts and Puzzles being UNLOCKED!
Each year Armchair Treasure Hunters come together as a community to participate in the annual Masquerade Tribute of Hunts for Charity. All proceeds of this yearly event are given to charity. The event is to honor not only the 1979 treasure hunt entitled Masquerade, which coined the term of ‘armchair treasure hunt’, but to pay tribute to the entire hobby.
Multiple Treasure Hunts for The Annual Masquerade Tribute are released on the Spring Equinox. Clues are given in each of the hunts for their individual treasures. The first person/s to solve the clues can claim the treasures. Hunts vary from being fully armchair or BOTG. For the last two years near $8500 has been given to charity! THANK YOU ALL!
The 2023 Masquerade Tribute is scheduled to be released 3/20/23. Below are more of the exciting details:
Three different mini puzzles offer pre-hunt fun - the first one to be released 3/8 and holds a $100 prize (amazon gift card). Two others will follow on 3/12 and 3/16. Prizes for these TBA. Stay tuned!
On launch - 3/20/23 - Three different Hunts will start off the adventures - each with at least $400 Treasure to claim! When donations exceed certain levels - MORE HUNTS AND PUZZLES will be released. Their release dates and prizes TBA.
