Gygès
 

YouTube short.
 

Gygès is French, from Gigamic. This version is a nice implementation, good sound. The pieces are shared, you try to move to the end position, and you must start a move from the back line. The pieces have different heights indicating how far they can move, and they are not really stacked. When you move piece A and it lands on piece B, piece A moves the same distance as the height of piece B (there is another option).

Plan O is a go!


 

Prior to the ambitious Thesaurus Canada book project, the plan is to have a local, Manitoba treasure hunt. Free, on a new website, $1,500 prize. This will be a signal flare/pilot project for Thesaurus Canada. New stuff for me :-|
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


 
 

I wonder which state it's in.


 
 
 
 

Beyond The Map's Edge solution
 

Solved by Wile E. Coyote.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Have treasure hunts, or at least aspects of them, been ruined by artificial intelligence?


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Many people in the treasure hunt community have one thing in common. What is it?


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There is excitement because the Beyond The Map's Edge clock cipher has been decisively solved. You can get it from the horse's mouth here. Or you can get an explanation from cowlazars. The Beyond The Map's Edge treasure hunt book, BTME, was revealed to the world in the Gold and Greed "documentary" on Netflix about the Forest Fenn hunt. Author Justin Posey presented this and that, with a clock showing different times in the background. Mr. Posey recently clarified that of the eight times the last two are irrelevant.

Mr. Posey kind of winged the clock cipher when he was on the set of Gold and Greed and there was a clock. The life of a treasure hunt designer!
