Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks for another successful year!
No rubber duckies this year. Instead, kids can hunt down Minecraft related goodies here in the neighborhood AND people can play online from remote.
Amazing work to everyone. I think every last treasure was located, and we hope you enjoyed the treasure hunt. Speaking of riddles, be sure to check out the final challenge. We've added the bonus points for this game to the leaderboard.

How to Play
How to Play
Every day, from October 27th to October 30th, we'll provide three riddles with at least one word missing. Work out what's missing and you can plug it into a URL for the What Three Words website which will show you where to go find the treasure.
For example, we might provide the URL https://w3w.co/misty.punchy._____ and the following riddle:
I can cut through anything, but I don't have a blade.
I'm made of light, but won't cast any shade.
If you guessed "laser" then you'd put it in place of the blank and get https://w3w.co/misty.punchy.laser which happens to be the corner in front of our house.
(BTW, there is NO treasure there, it's just an example! π)
Rules and Common Questions
Rules and Common Questions
When will you post new riddles?
Around 8 AM daily. Check in early to see if you can solve the riddle before your friends!
What do I do when I solve a riddle?
Solving a riddle will lead you to a location in Collingwood (or sometimes just inside Whispering Heights). If you head to that location, you will find the Minecraft-related treasure. Submit the code from the treasure to claim a prize.
How often can I enter?
For in-person treasure hunting, we'll only accept the first correct submission (the code with the treasure).
For those playing online, we'll award everyone with a special prize for playing. (limit one per submission email!)
Can I play online and in-person?
Yep! If you submit an online solution to the riddle and you go collect the treasure, you'll get both rewards.
Will you share my info?
We will never share your email or personal info. If you don't mind sharing your pictures here in the gallery, just check the box on the form. We only post them if it's okay with you!
