There’s been a big twist in the New England treasure hunt that captivated much of the internet, with a new golden treasure currently hiding out in the woods. The original Project Skydrop prize was a gold statue worth more than $25,000, but it was found last week by a Boston meteorologist. However, there was a secondary, and more valuable, prize that went with the statue: a bounty that grew to be $87,600 along with the number of people who paid to get clues in the treasure hunt.
New Treasure Hunt Unveiled
That prize money was originally supposed to be paid out to the winner in Bitcoin, but the game’s designers have come up with a new way to deliver it — through the new treasure hunt, which appears to be ongoing, for a pot of gold coins. People are now actively searching for a golden statue worth more than $25,000, adding a thrilling new element to the treasure hunt.
Clues and Challenges
Dan Leondard, the meteorologist who found the gold statue, apparently had first dibs on solving the puzzle by finding the statue, but the clues have now been released for all participants. The current challenge includes figuring out a difficult puzzle to locate the $87,600 worth of gold hidden in a secret wooded location.
Excitement Builds
On the Project Skydrop website, a message teases of the gold lost in New England’s woods and hints that only one person may be able to figure out its location. The thrill of the hunt continues to build as participants eagerly search for the elusive prize.
Community Giving Back
Leonard acknowledged the new treasure hunt in a video he released this week as part of the bounty-claiming process. He expressed his determination to find the pot of gold and also mentioned his plans to use some of the winnings to give back, including supporting the Project Skydrop community.
Adventure Unfolds
Live trail cameras, similar to those set up for the first statue, are in place to monitor the prize. As of late Friday night, no one has claimed the pot of gold, heightening the suspense and excitement surrounding the ongoing treasure hunt.
Insight: The introduction of a new golden treasure hunt has added an extra layer of excitement and challenge for participants, making the ongoing Project Skydrop even more intriguing. The progression from finding the gold statue to now deciphering a complex puzzle to locate the pot of gold coins has intensified the thrill of the hunt. Additionally, the commitment to giving back to the community demonstrates the positive impact that such treasure hunts can have beyond the monetary rewards.
