Nowyoucanreallytreasurehunt theLehighValleylikeneverbefore!

how it works... how it works...

Each month, we bring you two adventurous quests: the Riddle Quest and the Treasure Quest. Here's how it all works:

The Riddle Quest:

The excitement begins when our monthly magazine launches at 5 pm on the 1st of each month.

The Riddle Quest unfolds in four phases throughout the month: Phase 1 kicks off on the 1st, Phase 2 on the 8th, Phase 3 on the 15th, and Phase 4 on the 22nd. Each Phase contains a portion of the riddle.

Your mission? Solve the riddle by finding the specific location or object it refers to within the Lehigh Valley (Lehigh and Northampton counties).

Snap a photo of your discovery and submit it to us. But beware, you only have three attempts to get it right!

Need a hint? Visit our #hint locations scattered throughout the Lehigh Valley. These locations hold posters with exclusive hints to help you during the Riddle Quest Collect the hints, solve the riddle, and become a "riddle solver"!

The Treasure Quest:

Successful riddle solvers advance to the next round: the Treasure Quest

To qualify, you must NOT have won the previous month's treasure hunt and NOT have won the treasure hunt more than twice in a calendar year. On the 1st of the following month, qualified participants gain access to a special page on our website with clues to locate the hidden treasure chest. Be the first to find and claim the treasure chest using the provided clues to win a $50 gift card to any small local business in the Lehigh Valley area!

At Lehigh Valley Treasure Hunt, every riddle solver is a winner, regardless of the outcome of the monthly treasure hunts. Even if you don't qualify for the Treasure Quest due to consecutive wins or reaching the limit of two wins in a calendar year, there's still plenty to celebrate!

A FOOLS’ Riddle...

In a golden park, where the laughter rings, Where the sunbeams dance, and the bluebird sings. A quest awaits, where the dreams take flight, In the land of fools' gold, where t day turns bright.

Ladybugs dance at Ladybugs dance at the playground fair, the playground fair, where the children where the children play, and the play, and the artwork’s rare. artwork’s rare.

On a bridge of gold, where the water flows, In a world so bold, where the shelter glows. A promise of tomorrow, in the golden waters, the color of the bug, where the thought of nature ponders.

Through the hollow trees, and the Through the hollow trees, and the archways grand, In the golden breeze, archways grand, In the golden breeze, where the shadows stand. where the shadows stand.

Where flags fly high, in the golden sky, A tribute to heroes, who never said goodbye. In the hearts of all, their memory stands, In the land of fools' gold, where the heart expands.

Look for the eyes...

Eyes so gold, and the animal here, has wings for flight, and rodents to fear. Beside the tranquil river, by the old plant's side, Where memories linger, and dreams abide. A journey begins, where the heart finds rest, In the symphony of fools' gold, where hopes start to manifest.
