Anyone doing the Great Global Treasure Hunt on Googl Earth? It's based on a book, and the deadline for sovling the puzzle is 31 March. I thought I'll get the book and give it a try.

Haven't heard of that one! Is it anything like the 39 Clues? My kids were doing that for a bit.

I haven't heard of this either, but now I'm curious...

I stumbled upon it while searching for books with brainteasers on Amazon. The book is called "The Great Global Treasure Hunt on Google Earth" by Tim Dedopulos and Jonathan Lucas. It's supposed to be based on a 1970s book puzzle called "Masquerade", which I had never heard of before. The Treasure Hunt has now apparently a huge following, with its own page on Facebook and fora where people exchange ideas about clues. I'm still thinking about it, not sure I want to invest the time (which could be better spent on Gatchamania ) but it is intriguing...

I have never heard of it either, but I agree it sounds very intriguing.

That is a sad truth -there's never enough time to do all the fun things that are out there. But stick around here!
