There is a local treasure called GoldHunt (https://goldhunt.com/ https://goldhunt.com/) where someone hid $100k (well a chest with some paper that you could claim the $100k). You could buy a map for $25 which was a set of clues (they also just got posted online instantly). It became quite popular when they did the first hunt a few years ago. The problem was that it meant a ton of people would flood an area and trample gardens and parks.
- ethbro 6y agoIs it illegal to claim a $1M treasure, actually put an IOU in the box, sell $40 maps for a few years, fill the treasure once you break even, then keep subsequent profit? I supposed you'd have to figure out a way to make the maps single use.
- PopeDotNinja 6y agoYou'd probably be on the hook for the amount of the IOU, so you'd better hope no one found it before breaking even.
- c17r 6y agoTake out insurance that covers the $1MM. That’s how things like Hole in One tournaments work.
- robocat 6y agoThat could run fowl of gambling laws? Depending on jurisdiction and details.

- hckr_news 6y agoI mean even without money being offered, Pokémon Go players also did the same in local parks and gardens four years ago.
