Project Skydrop Launches Real-Life Treasure Hunt with $25,000 Gold Prize

Participants pay $20 to join the hunt for a 24k gold trophy hidden in the Northeast, with daily clues narrowing down its location.

Project Skydrop is a treasure hunt created by game designer Jason Rohrer and musician Tom Bailey.
The 24k gold trophy, valued at over $25,000, is hidden in the woods within a 500-mile radius in the Northeast.
Participants receive daily aerial photo clues that help narrow down the search area, which shrinks each day.
The hunt began on September 19 and will conclude on October 10, with the prize and an additional cash bounty awarded to the finder.
The entry fee is $20, half of which goes into a growing prize pool paid out in Bitcoin to the winner.
