Treasure Map

[+GEO*Trailblazer 1]

I have put the idea out to several on the side,but here is the thread.

 

Would a set of 4 coins with a TREASURE MAP on them work?

 

You have to get all 4 coins to get the whole map.

Buy,trade,barter,sale..or however you can get all 4 to make the map.

It would be a lot of work getting it together not to count the expense.

 

If it is a good idea let me know.

I have the design and map and artwork for the coins and the map is already laid out.

 

I have been working on it a while now and thought it time to put the idea out there.

 

One Contest like that is going,but this is a lot different in that you would have to find the real treasure.

Not that the other wasn't a cool treasure hunt.I survived it.

And had great fun while doing it and maybe I will get to finish it.

 

Thanks for your response.

Are you saying that when the map is put together it will give cordinates to an actual hidden cache?

Oh I thought there was another one. I already played that one. It was fun.

That sounds like an interesting challenge. It also sounds like maybe it is just for a local area, not a nationwide treasure hunt.

It could be played Local,Nationaly and Internationaly.

I do not want to give too much away.

 

I just wanted to see if there is enough interest to invest that much time and money in it.

Hmmm, if you are thinking of making this a "Pay to Play" kind of thing, I don't know how well that would go over. I think it would probably take all the fun out of it too (it would for me, probably). If not, you are looking at spending a LOT of your own money if each player has to get 4 geocoins to make up the map.

 

I've seen similar things done with travelbugs, so it's possible to do it that way with geocoins, if you can keep them moving somehow.

I think it would be cool, but I also think it would be a local treasure hunt. I would not want to spend money on 4 coins that pointed to a location that was 1500 miles away from where I lived . If the coins were really cool, then I would probably buy them strictly to have the coin and ignore the hunt portion .

Sounds great to me too. I see one major drawback.

 

INTERNET PHOTOS and Friends Shareing there finds.

That would only get you the cache find. The real treasure here is the four geocoins, right? B)

[+Crowesfeat30]

So, these would be square- or rectangle-shaped coins? The concept sounds very cool. Count me in for a set

Yes you hit one of the nails right on the head.

 

Now as for them other nails...keep drivin.

 

And even then(with whole map) it is a mind boggler and will not be an easy task to decipher,but that's the fun in it.

Maybe they are puzzle piece shaped and the four of them together make a circle or rectangle.

 

If not, maybe I will do that... lol

Alright...who's been blabbing all our secrets.....can't keep anything a surprize anymore Guess we better get on the ball if we wanna be first eh?

[+graylling]

Coint me in. (pun intended) I'm up for it. Even if the final treasure is a long ways away I like the idea of the coins themselves.

[+tdecell]

If you make them, they will buy.....

Something I started in SE Michigan last year was the Shastie Stash Game which was played in 5 counties in SE Michigan and then this last spring was the Shastie Stash 2 game that is statewide. The games involved TB's instead of coins, but it was a treasure hunt type of game; find all the TB's and get the coordinates to the final cache.

 

We've also had 2 other games in Mich like this; one by Windrose in the Flint area and another by Wingit in the Jackson area. All have been very popular.
