The Collector's Grail solution
 

North Texas. How would you describe this puzzle?
 
 
 
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The New York Treasure Hunt - Cipher of the Dead
 

Cute website, although he should work on left justification.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Where is the money for the treasure coming from?
 

Short answer: Your bank account.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If you want the freedom to construct and publish a treasure hunt as you see fit, you've come to the right place.
 
If you want to get paid a portion of the profit like other members of the team, you've come to the right place.
 
If you expect to make money, you should probably move along.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
There could be a way to make a progressively shrinking circle treasure hunt, in a book.
 
A treasure hunt could be multi author, with each author(/creator) doing one section.
 
There could be a way to make a progressively shrinking circle treasure hunt, in a book, with each bit made by a different author.
 
It's best illustrated by example.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I'm tickled by the concept of a treasure that "may be nothing".


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The bigger U.S. treasure hunts are like supernovae, black holes. They'll build themselves into something big and impressive, then they'll blow up, collapse. Skathoom!
 

For example


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

"Drinks, entire categories, baskets. That's stupid, so no. But I wouldn't be me if I didn't consider it."
 

Well ..
 
 

Someone who wins a local treasure hunt could communicate to have drinks in one category delivered to him. This would be local, awkward, slow, and optional.
 
 
 
 

By the way, did you get the treasure by solving the puzzles, or did you bend the rules?


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Food and Drink


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


 
 
 
 
Trinidad      Lots. The great mauby is an acquired taste. Have you ever heard of Ginseng Up?
Eastern Europe      Great stuff, but acquired taste. Big bottles. Some refrigeration.
     I never had kofola. Cue discussion of where Eastern Europe is.
Miscellaneous      Chicha morada, Moxie, guarana, serbat wangi, pennywort, malt, the elusive ackee ..
Canada      Not the usual.
United Kingdom      Smaller. Dandelion and burdock is the keystone.
Italy      Small. Chinottos.

 
 

This works best in summer, or after an exhausting sweat.

NY77: The Coolest Year In Hell
 

An hour and a half.
 
 
 
 

Gen Z Didn't Kill Nightlife
 

Gen Zed is the term you're looking for. Does Toronto have good nightlife? There is an interplay between urban planning and culture, or at least nightlife. What I take from this is a city is not one thing; it is an evolving beast.
