Each treasure hunt focuses on one town. We’ll send you the clues as they become available if you’re signed up for updates from NH Spotlight.
Step Two: Explore and Scan
Solve the clue to find the NFC token at the location, and scan it with your phone. The first person to claim each location gets to claim the treasure.
Step Three: Track and Win
Monitor your progress on the leaderboard and compete for top prizes throughout the hunt. You’ll be claiming actual treasure like silver and gold at New Hampshire businesses.
When you sign up you’ll be emailed clues to a treasure location as they become available. Once you are at that location, examine the area closely for the NFC token. Press your smartphone to the tag then follow the onscreen instructions to claim.
The treasures are real valuables provided by local New Hampshire businesses.
When you claim the treasure you’ll be prompted for your name and email. Your name will go on the public leaderboard. Your email will be used by NH Spotlight and the local business to contact you. You’ll be able to go to the local business to pick up your prize.
No special app needed. Everything works through your phone’s browser.
