This treasure hunt is organized by an individual enthusiast and is not affiliated with any organization, government entity, or business. The organizer has taken reasonable precautions to ensure the treasure is placed in a publicly accessible location that does not require damaging any property or protected areas to access. Participants must be 18 years or older, or have parental consent to participate.
ASSUMPTION OF RISK: By participating in this treasure hunt, you acknowledge that you do so entirely at your own risk and agree to abide by all applicable laws and regulations. You agree to hold the organizer harmless from any injuries, accidents, property damage, legal issues, or other claims that may arise during participation.
NO GUARANTEES: Bitcoin and cryptocurrency values fluctuate. The USD value shown is approximate and subject to market changes. The organizer makes no guarantees about cryptocurrency values, website availability, or that the treasure hunt will be completed as described. The organizer reserves the right to modify or end the hunt at any time for safety, legal, or other reasons. The organizer reserves the right to adjust donation thresholds downward (never upward) to maintain community engagement.
CHARITABLE DONATIONS: This treasure hunt encourages optional charitable donations to the Alfred Washburn Center to unlock clues faster. All charitable donations go directly to the charity and are separate from the treasure hunt prize. The organizer receives no portion of charitable donations. A separate benefactor provides matching funds up to $1,500 to the cryptocurrency prize wallet. Participants should verify their donations directly with the Alfred Washburn Center if desired.
PARTICIPATION TERMS: No purchase or contribution is necessary to participate in this treasure hunt. While charitable donations to the Alfred Washburn Center will accelerate clue releases, they are not required for participation. Charitable donations go directly to the Alfred Washburn Center, not the organizer or winner. The cryptocurrency prize pot is funded separately by a generous benefactor who matches charitable donations. The treasure is placed in a location that does not require trespassing, climbing, or digging. Participants are expected to respect all public property, historical sites, and natural areas while searching.
This treasure hunt is intended as a fun community activity. All clues are intended to be solvable without specialized knowledge or equipment. No special tools, climbing gear, or excavation equipment is needed or permitted.
The Bitcoin wallet address provided on the main page is publicly viewable for verification purposes. Anyone can check the balance and transaction history to verify the cryptocurrency prize pot funding, which is provided by a separate benefactor and not from participant contributions.
