The Throwback Treasure Hunt 12-12-12

A few years ago, as a throwback to one of my favorite hunts, The Secret by Byron Preiss and because the date 12/12/12 was quickly approaching, it was decided to bury a ceramic casque, a ring and a few other items then create a hunt around the number 12. Twelve months should have been enough to solve it but you could only get the puzzles in a calendar format at the time of the release. Alas it was never solved. And, it was never retrieved from its location either.



After much thought and redesigning the clues to be both more uniform and simplified, here they are for anyone that purchased the book to analyze, over analyze and solve. There are 12 puzzles that all have a relationship with the number “12” as their muse. These 12 puzzles are all you need to solve the hunt and claim the prize that, of course, is buried. Let’s see if you can guess how far down in the ground it is?
