Treasure Hunts


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

(It is assumed that treasure hunts won't be overt about the region, but there's no rule against this.)

You could have a treasure hunt explicitly for city x, with a little gold coin prize. I would find this cute. The prize might not be worth someone travelling across the country "Maybe don't book a flight on Air Canada to pick this up".
 
 

We're going to have to think about treasure out there and snow on the ground.
 
 

It would be great to have this book available before Christmas.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


 
 

A red herring. Three minutes.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Things That Can Go Wrong and Treasure Questions are in the Thesaurus Canada child site, Miscellaneous.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

So this popped out of nowhere:
 
 
 


 
 

"- yes, you -"
 

"The greatest treasure hunt across Canada". It's difficult to argue with that. They've got a single huge prize, plus a dozen across the country. Even the lesser prizes are big enough to drag people out to look for them, probably not all that far spread out too. Free.

But I still think the proposed Thesaurus Canada is best.
 
 
 
 
 
 


 
 

Huge, impressive prize. A proxy treasure. "There's a treasure chest hidden with a million dollars of gold coins in it." No.

The prize is on the same scale as Forrest Fenn and the two current big ones in the U.S.A. That's what happens when you have a set of Canadian mining companies funding you.
 
 
 
 
 
 

website


 
 

This is used to promote mining something*. It's not a book. It's a poem on their website and you have to keep going to their social media. I wonder if people will be somehow turned off because it deals with mining.
 
 
 

* Others have done this, including Forrest Fenn using a treasure hunt as bait for his autobiography.

Coca Cola was invented by a pharmacist (sody pop and pharmacists were linked in those days) in 1886 in Georgia U.S.A. If we could go back to 1886 we could taste what that is like with the original ingredients.

I'm not a friend of Coca Cola, but going back to 1886 means we could find out what it was originally like. The environment too.

Self-Published Genre Fiction
 

I was going to delete this because of broken links. I can repair the links with new links for these continuing contests, but I think I'll ditch the page because of my dweeby comments.

Genre contests like these can't please everyone, so you get discussions and controversy. Here someone has negative things to say about the fantasy contest. Also nerds like to argue about the fuzzy definitions of science fiction and fantasy.

So what if we . . . no, that couldn't be done.
