What is treasure hunt ?
Treasure hunt is a game in which sagacity and thinking have a great role.
You have to resolve some puzzles and enigmas created by an author. There are various
enigmas: visual or textual, on every knowledge - geographic, mathematic, cryptographic,...
Obviously they can be a mix of these domains.
Generally, a treasure is buried in a public place. In this case, you have to find the place with enigmas
and move to excavate it. A solution can be something like: go in that forest, find that specific
monument, in that direction,...
Treasure can be an object (gold coins for example) or a countermark to prove that you have found
the place in order to contact the author to have the real lot.
The only limit of treasure hunt organization is author's imagination: the game can be virtual
(hunters have to give solution by mail), the game could need to move to excavate treasure or
it can be like a rallye.
However, enigmas' resolution is more important than treasure's value.
