How to Play

Welcome, Prospector!

The Lost Loot of the Emma Mine is a scavenger hunt set around Dunton Hot Springs. There are two ways to win a prize: the Main Scavenger Hunt and Instant-Win Challenges.

Important: Each person can only win one prize. If you win an instant-win challenge, you can still play the main hunt for fun but won't be eligible for another prize, and vice versa.
The Main Scavenger Hunt

Follow 8 clues around Dunton Hot Springs. At each location:

1

Prove you're there

Take a photo or answer a question to verify your arrival

2

Solve the puzzle

Solve a riddle or anagram to discover your next destination

3

Move to the next location

Head to the place revealed by the puzzle and repeat!

About Photos
You don't need to wait for photo approval to continue — keep going! The judges will review your photos in the background. Photo approval only matters when determining the final winners.
Prizes
The first 4 players to finish the hunt with all photos approved win a spa massage! 1st place gets a 90-minute massage, 2nd gets 60 minutes, and 3rd & 4th get 30 minutes each.
Instant-Win Challenges

Four standalone challenges are scattered around Dunton. Each one is a mini-game — a word puzzle, logic puzzle, or treasure hunt — with its own prize.

2 Global Challenges

Available from the start. Find the location, enter the secret password posted there, and complete the game.

2 Unlockable Challenges

These unlock as you progress through the main hunt. You'll be notified when a new challenge becomes available!

First to Win
Most challenges can only be won by one person, but some have two winner slots. Once all slots are filled, the challenge closes. Be quick!
Challenge Prize
Each instant-win challenge winner receives a 30-minute spa massage!
Strategy Tips
Go for speed? Focus on the main hunt and race to be one of the first 4 finishers for the bigger massage prizes.
Go for a quick win? Try an instant-win challenge early — if you're the first to solve it, you win a massage without finishing the whole hunt.
Mix it up! You can pause the main hunt anytime to try a challenge. If the challenge doesn't work out, just go back to the hunt.
Daily Reset

The leaderboard and all winner statuses reset every morning at 3:00 PM. That means everyone gets a fresh start each day — even if you won yesterday, you can play again today!
