Armchair Treasure Hunting began in 1979 when
Kit Williams wrote a book called Masquerade. Written as a children's story
in large picture book format the addition of a Treasure Hunt was designed
to encourage the reader to examine every picture in fine detail in order
to locate the hidden clues to the burial place of a "Golden Hare".
Since that day there have been over fifty books,
booklets, scrolls, tapes, music CD's, computer CD's and Web based treasure
hunts to keep even the most ardent Treasure Hunter occupied.
This section of Quest4Treasure
is dedicated to these Treasure Hunts. From here you will be able to explore
the hunts, new and old, their solutions and their authors.

answer five questions will become the owner of a priceless replica of
the Grail cup.
