We offer two types of Treasure Hunts for Adults (1. & 2. below) and one for Families with Children ages 8-12 (# 3. below) The Two Adult Hunts: 1. The Boots on the Ground Hunt . . . $50 (A team can register for this, but only registered hunters can win an award) September 28, 2024 Hunters solve clues, then go outside to search for a little box hidden in Warren County, Ohio. Fri. Sep. 27th Clue 1 released around 5 p.m. Solution will remove half of Warren County from the hunting area. Sat. Sep. 28th Remaining clues released in staggered times early a.m. and hunters head out for an adventurous day of fun. Check-in station closes at 2:00 p.m. Treasure Chest opening on same day at check in station tentatively scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Key holders must be present at the treasure chest opening to win the contents of a treasure chest. 2. Armchair Hunt . . . . $10 August - September 2024 All hunting is online. Clues are fairly easy and it’s a great way to sharpen your skills for the September BOTG Hunt. Hunt from the comfort of home, in the doctor’s waiting room, your office . . . wherever you take your device. The August 28 - September 26, 2024 Armchair Hunt solution will reveal a KEYWORD needed for the September 28th Boots on the Ground (BOTG) Hunt. The clue will be released on August 28th. There won’t be a “race to finish first” in this hunt because there is no cash awarded to the winner. Instead, everyone who solves the Armchair Hunt will discover the KEYWORD as their reward. You get a head start over other hunters! Registration is open Aug. 1 through Sep. 25 and will be a $10 donation. Clue available through September 25th. Key holders must be present at the treasure chest opening the afternoon of Sep. 28, 2024, to win the contents of a treasure chest. 3. The Family Treasure Hunt Designed for children ages 8-12 . . .$50 for a team of four September 28, 2024: The same hunt is repeated - one in morning and one in afternoon. See Family Treasure Hunt page for times. Treasure Chest opening immediately following each hunt. Must be present to win. Only adults who registered and accompanying children are eligible to receive awards on their child's behalf. This treasure hunt is NOT a race. The team that arrives first at post-hunt check-in receives no special advantage, no award. A treasure chest containing approximately $100 worth of gift cards and other items will be awarded via a "quiz raffle" completed by age-appropriate children who are members of a successful team. Must be present to win. Although we will not "police" the ages of registered children, the hunt is designed for ages 8-12. Only children of that age and on a successful team are eligible for the "quiz raffle". The objective is for families to enjoy an outdoor "non-screen" adventure together, exercise critical thinking skills, learn fun facts about local history, and to raise funds for a local charity. A maximum of four people is allowed per $50 donation on a registered team. There must be at least one registered adult on a team. Adults who register must provide their name and contact information. Names of children are not needed - children ages 8-12 who are on a four-member team, will be identified as registered with a hand stamp at check-in. Hand stamp must be visible at hunt completion to be eligible for any award. The treasure chest contents are officially given to an adult of the winning team.

We can’t continue providing treasure hunts without donations and fun-loving, generous people who register for our hunts and donate to our nonprofit. The Hunt for Good is designed to help people develop relationships, become part of our active and creative community, learn and appreciate local history, and financially support the wonderful non-profits serving our area. The Hunt For Good is a 501(c)3 organization registered in the State of Ohio. EIN # 92-3713948 Please invest in our work by making a donation

Absolutely! Teams are fun and more successful. We have a treasure hunt designed for children ages 8-12 AND a hunt for fun loving "children" trapped in adult bodies. This is a fundraiser for charity and our organization counts on registrations to help make our community safe, healthy, and a great place to live, so we hope you join by registering and spreading the word. Follow us on Facebook @thehuntforgood Every registration is a much-needed donation!

You MUST register to win! The more people you have registered on your team, the better your chances to win. Only Registered Hunters can win or be in the drawing for a key, and a Registered Hunter can win only one key to a treasure chest containing cash (Except that the winner of the Boots on the Ground Hunt wins two keys!). We hope EVERY adult registers or makes a donation to support our mission. We cannot do this without your gifts of support.

We provide a treasure hunt designed for children ages 8-12. 'Time Travel to Treasure' covers an area 2-3 miles from check-in station and take about 3 hours total. You and your children will explore quirky local history, solve fun clues, and make lasting memories! We plan to change locations within Warren County every year. The Boots on the Ground Hunt is designed for teens and adults, but children, age 12 and over, will enjoy participating with an adult. Registered hunters in the Boots on the Ground Hunt must be 18+ years or older, so an adult must register in order for minors to hunt. Minors cannot win a key or be awarded cash.

In the Family Treasure Hunt - Time Travel to Treasure, a hunt booklet and instructions are provided at the "Check-in" station at registration. Clues for the adult Boots on the Ground hunt are pdf documents released on our website with a code word we email to registered hunters. After you register, you will receive a welcome email with the details. Read these! There will be tips and a list of things you’ll need to have “at the ready.” Typically, BOTG clues are void of fancy colored graphics, so if you chose to print them, it won’t drain your printer ink. Normally, clues can be solved without printing.

Although previous hunters found our adult hunt clues challenging, they agreed that they were fun and doable. TIP: Visit our Home Page and sharpen your skills in our new “Hunters in Training” tab. These six clues will be available on-going and are a great introduction to the types of clues to expect during a hunt. Teams are more successful during a real hunt because you’ll have a collection of skills and experiences. So, team-up!

YES! Every key holder wins cash BUT . . . . . You MUST BE AT THE TREASURE CHEST OPENING ON SEPTEMBER 28th to win your cash! The Treasure Chest Opening will be at the Check-in station tentatively scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on Saturday September 28th in Warren County, Ohio. Exact location will be announced the afternoon of September 28th! Eight keys will be awarded. One of those keys will open a treasure chest containing $1,000 cash. Two keys open a second chest containing $500, and a third chest contains $100 and 5 keys open that chest. These award dollars are provided to make this event enticing and possible, and we celebrate with our winners who receive cash. Their winnings are theirs to keep, but many give back. In addition to a registration fee, please make a donation. We greatly appreciate your support.

The BOTG treasure hunt continues until the posted ending time - even if you’re NOT first place, you can still win a key! You don’t have to be first to win a key and all key winners get cash!

Unless something unexpected happens, winners of BOTG hunt and keys will be announced Saturday, September 28th around 2:20 p.m. AT the BOTG Check in station. This will be immediately followed by the Treasure Chest Opening. Keys winners MUST be present to win cash in a treasure chest.

Many of the clues can be solved without leaving your home. The Boots on the Ground (physical) hunt is a mixture of puzzle solving and traveling to locations to finalize the hunt solutions and locate the hidden box. If a member on your team can walk grassy hills, bend down, traverse a typical trail through a park, go up and down stairs, and do seven jumping jacks without collapsing, EVERYONE on your team can have a blast hunting. There is absolutely NO digging, climbing, or venturing into ravines in any of our hunts.

We don’t like that either, so all Registered Hunters will be provided with a breakdown of the adult BOTG clue solutions after the event.

Nice try, but we aren’t telling. We can say it’s hidden in a publicly accessible location in Warren County, Ohio. See official rules for more details. Happy Hunting!

Nope. Any adult U.S. citizen living anywhere can register, hunt, and win a key in the adult BOTG hunt. BUT . . . The Boots on the Ground Hunt requires actual physical hunting, so registered hunters must be physically IN Warren County, Ohio to participate in the BOTG Hunt. The Family Treasure hunt, 'Time Travel to Treasure' is also a physical hunt and requires participants to be in Warren County, Ohio.

Anyone hunting without registering and providing their own email address can hunt, but they are NOT registered and therefore they are not eligible to check in during the BOTG Hunt. Official Rules and the Terms & Conditions are below - scroll down and click on links. Registered hunters must agree to these as part of the registration process.
