The most common format for armchair hunts is a book with picture and text clues leading to a location where a valuable &#8216;treasure&#8217; is hidden. The clues need logic and creativity to solve &#8211; sometimes the creator will try to obscure exactly how you solve the mystery. To decipher the clues you&#8217;ll need to think outside the box and use research skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many armchair treasure hunts involve solving the puzzle at home and then travelling to a physical location where the prize is buried. Some hunts also allow submitting the solution by email, this allows the game to be played wherever you are in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These games were popularised in 1979 by the Masquerade picture book which revealed clues that led to a buried golden hare jewel. This will site review some of my favourite armchair hunts that are currently unsolved. If you think there&#8217;s a hunt I should add please get in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armchair treasure hunts involve solving riddles from the comfort of your own home to claim a prize.
