While there are no gaurantees of how much you can earn, hosts receive 70% of all revenue received from the purchase of Hints and Answers during a hunt they have hosted. This can add up to substantial earnings depending on how many hunters participate in a hunt, and how many Hints and Answers they purchase during the hunt.

Institutional accounts will soon be availble for Hosting treasure hunts, but not for competing as a Hunter. Hunters must be a single real individual. Contact customer service to create an Institutional Hosting account.

While there are no guarantees of how much you can win, there are often large prizes for those who are able to solve all the clues the fastest. Prize amounts are stated in advance of registration beginning in the Hunt Details for each hunt.

Treasure hunts consist of clues of varying levels of difficulty (i.e. Easy, Moderate, Difficult, and Very Difficult). While easy clues can usually be solved without a hint, difficult and very difficult clues are designed to be challenging, and may require one or more hints to be solved.

Hints are purchased using Gold Coin tokens that can be purchased in lots of 10 for $10. This means the cost of a hint is generally $1.00.  However, you receive a volume discount by purchasing lots of 20, 50, or 100 Gold Coins at a time, reducing the cost of Hints to less than $1.00. Your Gold Coin tokens are kept in a digital wallet, or "Coin Purse", and can be used in any Hunt you participate in.

We recommend that you purchase at least 10-20 Gold Coins before the start of a treasure hunt. This will ensure that you don't have to waste time during the hunt to buy coins. Unused Gold Coins will remain in your Coin Purse for future hunts.

No. All Gold Coin purchases are final and non-refundable. However, any coins not used during a treasure hunt, are maintained in your Coin Purse and can be used in a future hunt.

Yes, you may use any online or offline resource available to you, with the exception of other hunters, either directly or indirectly, who are participating in the same hunt.

Yes, however, it is required that one person has an account, and they will be the person who is legally eligible to win a prize. 

Custom hunt services are available for large hunts where there will be a minimum of 1,000 hunters invited to participate. If you are a social media influencer, organization, or have a list of 1,000 or more opt-in subscribers, and would like to create a custom hunt, please contact us at contact@TreasureHuntChampion.com.

Treasure Hunts can consist of 10, 20 or 30 clues that must be solved to complete the hunt. The average time to complete a hunt is approximately 30 minutes for every 10 clues. However, some participants may take less time, while other's may take more. 

No. THC Treasure Hunts are all virtual, and can be played on a PC or smartphone wherever you have internet access.

Treasure Hunts usually consist of clues in specific themes, such as Famous People,  American History, or Animal Kingdom. Clues come in four difficulty levels - Easy, Moderate, Difficult, and Very Difficult. Each clue will have three associated hints that can be purchased for 1 Gold Coin (approximately $1.00) if needed to help solve the clue. And, if you still need help after buying all three clues, you can buy the answer for 2 Gold Coins (approximately $2.00).

Here is an example of a moderately difficult clue:

Clue:

In lands they roam, so vast and grand, The largest beasts upon the land.

Answer: Elephant

Hint 1: 

In families strong, they find their way,
Led by a matriarch, wise and gray.

Hint 2:

Answer: Elephant
