For fantasy and history buffs out there, now is your chance to finally embark on something you’ve been longing for perhaps your entire life… a real-life treasure hunt!

Imagine it. Just you and your dusty old, half-crumpled map, your best friends, and maybe even your dog… OK, this isn’t that kind of treasure hunt. But for those who play along maybe it’ll feel even better than what you’ve seen in the movies!

Ohio’s Hocking Hills State Park is offering folks the opportunity to embark on a ‘hunt’ to secure a prize of $10,000 worth of cash, real gold, and jewels. The only thing competitors have to do is be better at solving puzzles and riddles than everyone else who enters the competition!

Is that you? Keep reading to see how to participate.
