The hunt for a 24k gold treasure hidden somewhere in New England has attracted over 2,000 participants who are all vying for the $50,000 prize. Project Skydrop creators Jason Rohrer and Tom Bailey are leading the search, with daily hints narrowing down the location of the buried metal piece. The treasure, initially valued at $26,000, has now doubled in worth due to the collected entry money. Participants have until October 10 to locate the treasure, with the entire world set to find out its location on that day.
Despite the high level of interest in finding the treasure, its specific location within the 500-mile diameter region in New England remains a mystery. The search has attracted numerous people from Connecticut, but Rohrer and Bailey remain tight-lipped about whether the treasure is actually hidden in the state. The creators have also noted that the treasure hasn’t gone completely unnoticed, with various creatures including a deer, opossum, and porcupine being spotted near its hiding place.
With the search drawing more participants daily, the excitement and anticipation are steadily growing. The unique and challenging treasure hunt has captured the attention of many eager adventurers who are all hoping to strike it rich with this one-of-a-kind opportunity.
