There’s Treasure Inside

As children, our imagination knows no bounds when it comes to exploring and finding enchantment in the everyday. Kids see nothing far-fetched of envisioning astonishing artifacts, and uncovering buried treasure. However, as an adult we tend to lose the curiosity and sense of wonder we once had, living in the real world (boo…doing your taxes) instead of the fantastical version (yay…fire-breathing dragons) that once captivated us.

However, there is an exception to this rule, and if you love escape rooms and puzzles, you’ll probably relate. Still dreaming up the potential of partaking in an epic quest, in pursuit of an unimaginable mystical relic? Yeah, you’re probably an escape room enthusiast like we are!

Another person who never lost their sense of wonder is Jon Collins-Black, who not only dreamt up an extraordinary scavenger hunt, but also made it happen. And the best part? Now we get to take on the role of explorer, and undertake the thrilling trail to treasure, that he has painstakingly produced.

You may have already heard the buzz about There’s Treasure Inside, a book which bears all you need to know in which to undertake a hunt, for a huge array of incredible items. It’s certainly taking the world by storm, and Jon Collins-Black is the man behind the five fantastical chests, awaiting discovery across all of America.

X Never, Ever Marks The Spot

You’ll need to take a carefully calculated look through the book, and intently study its pages to uncover the secrets within. You’ll love the creatively written content, and find it entertaining even if you are unsuccessful in your attempt to seek out the treasure, or even aim to get off the sofa to try. But of course, if you are looking to put your explorer hat on, you’ll find there is a chapter dedicated to the discovery of each chest.

Oh, and don’t worry, this isn’t Indiana Jones. Collins-Black assures adventurers that there are no dangers ahead, and you most definitely won’t need to risk life and limb, you won’t even need to dig! It’s even said that it’s achievable for anyone, with the creator aiming for it to be solvable without taking an eternity to do so. And even if they do go unfound, it’s possible that further clues will be released.

Fortune And Glory

Curious on the contents of those all-important chests? You won’t be disappointed of the wonders within. Collins-Black painstakingly collected a captivating array of artifacts over time from auctions, containing both modern and historic memorabilia. So if you fancy unearthing sunken treasure sourced from shipwrecks, or the creations from notable figures such as Picasso and Earhart, you’re in luck.

One particular chest is more impressive than the others, both in its size and its contents. It boasts bounty of inconceivable value, but if you think you can get any leaks or hints you’re out of luck, as he didn’t even disclose the location to his wife! Of course, while the treasure is an incredible reward and a testament to your unmatched exploration skills, many puzzle-lovers will know that the thrill often comes from the satisfaction of solving clues, and overcoming the challenge of connecting the dots.

You Have Chosen Wisely
