Treasure Hunts
We seek to be the consolidator and disseminator of news regarding hidden fortunes that have the best potential of discovery.
We have been supporters of the Treasure Hunting community and have found expertise and entertainment in the work of Cowlazar and Kpro both who are founders of the annual Treasure Con [convention every February] and also host their own podcast. Cowlazars - YouTube

Rules & Regs for Vegas Die 2.0
The original “Vegas Die” (1.0) novel was reprinted in 2020 with a revised Quest Mystery Treasure Hunt. During COVID the hunt went somewhat dormant with limited interest but has been recently re-activated. Book purchase is required in hardcover, softcover or eBook). The theme has always been ‘Nothing Is As It Seems’. Those searching are called Questors. Creator is author S.P. Grogan who will answer any reasonable email guesses as to location. Armchair Searchers viable. Since no discoverers, the prize has been readjusted as 2026 to $1,000 cash or a Spanish doubloon. Location is in the Las Vegas Valley. Clues in ‘Lafayette’ by same author narrowed geographic scope of search. Several past Questor were able to find the general area of the hidden final clue (answer) but went no further.

--How to choose the right hunt for you to join?
We asked Cowlazars his thoughts: “Have the time and more so, have the patience. There is a fine line between being the dedicated hunter to the obsessive. Don’t vent your frustrations on the game’s originators. These are games with challenges, not the End of Days. Use resources especially social Forum sites to get a feel for how others approach the hunt. The big cash prizes are tantalizing but the smaller ones usually are created for quick solves. Above all, enjoy.”

Disclaimer: Our goal is to present you with up-to-date information on treasure hunting. We only specifically recommend a hunt if it meets certain basic requirements. (1) Creators/Originators have past track record of providing an interesting and thoughtful hunts; (2) hunts may be limited duration or open until found (there is internal fan debate on which is best); (3) that whether at the hunt end the treasure/prize is discovered or not, the creators ought to provide exact clue details so those searching can be satisfied that following clues would have indeed led to the answer. We ask our readers to be careful both in deciding which hunt to pursue (Caveat Emptor--Buyer’s Beware) as well as if BOTG (Boots on the Ground) the hunt is carried out in safe circumstances and that private property and local laws are respected.
