Treasure Hunt Champion - Rules

Last Updated: 05/16/2024

Treasure Hunt Champion (“THC” or “Game”) is a game of skill offered by Unfettered Games, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company. These Treasure Hunt Champion rules (“Rules”) are expressly integrated into the Unfettered Games, LLC Terms of Service and Privacy Policy as if fully restated in the Terms and Privacy Policy. 

We reserve the right to change these Rules at any time without prior notice to you. We will endeavor to provide reasonable notice of any changes on our website, but it is your responsibility to read and review the Rules before entering any Game, paying any entry fees, or otherwise participating in the Game.

Gameplay Description

The Game is a real-money skill-based multi-player online Game platform where players can win money by either hosting events (as Hosts) or participating as Hunters (players) in virtual Treasure Hunts consisting of a series of Clues that must be solved. The Game is web browser-based and can be played on mobile devices as well as personal computers. Hosts and Hunters must be at least 18 years of age and Hunters must be located in a permitted jurisdiction to participate. Users are prohibited from registering for or participating as Hunters in a Hunt while located within the states of Arizona, Louisiana, or South Carolina.

Subject to the 18 and up restriction, anyone can become a Host and use the THC Game platform to create and promote Treasure Hunts. A Treasure Hunt consists of a series of Clues provided by the Game platform that must be solved by participating Hunters to win a predetermined prize. 

Hunters may be required to pay a nominal entry fee to participate. A minimum number of participants and set prize amounts are determined by the Host before any Hunters register to participate. Once the minimum number of Hunters have registered, the Hunt may officially procede. 

All of the Clues and associated Hints are drawn from a secure database and kept secret from the Hunters until they are made available in the course of the Hunt. Clues and Hints may be presented in many forms, including, but not limited to text, images, video clips, or audio clips. The first Clue is made available to all Hunters simultaneously on the website. When a Hunter answers a Clue correctly, the next Clue is made available to them until all Clues have been answered correctly. Participants race to be the fastest to solve all the Clues and may purchase Hints to assist them during the course of the Hunt. 

During the course of a treasure hunt, participants are allowed to use online or offline resources to help solve a clue, including but not limited to: internet search engines such as Google or Bing, websites such as Wikipedia or Reddit, AI services such as ChatGPT or Bard, print encyclopedias, and any person who may have insights or knowledge that may be helpful. 

In addition, there are generally at least three or more Hints associated with each Clue, which may be purchased during the treasure hunt. Hints are delivered in a variety of forms, including text, images, audio clips, video clips, and puzzles. The hints for a Clue are designed to be progressively easier, with the third clue usually making the answer obvious. All Hunters have the option to purchase the same Hints in the same order. The Hints are only made available after a set period of time from when a Clue is made available, ensuring that those who are able to solve a Clue with fewer hints have a time advantage.

The THC game platform requires the use of digital Game Tokens, "Gold Coins", that are stored in a digital wallet or "Coin Purse" for the purchase of Hints. Gold Coins are an in-Game currency that can be purchased at any time prior to or during a Hunt.

The winner(s) are determined by the fastest times for answering all the Clues correctly. The winner(s) receive a predetermined prize. A Hunt will end at a predetermined time period after the start time, after which winners will be announced and notified. Prizes will be paid out to winners within an appropriate period of time, in accordance with the rules and any state or federal regulations.

Game Tokens

You may purchase Game Tokens (Gold Coins) that may be used to buy Hints. Gold Coin Game Tokens may be purchased in various lots where volume discounts may apply. Unused Gold Coin Game Tokens carry over for use in future Games and for redemption for future Hints. Game Tokens are not redeemable for cash, non-transferrable, and are non-refundable.
