About the Treasure Hunt

In 2021, David Jacobsen, author of the popular treasure hunt book The Hatter's Hat (prequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland) created a new treasure hunt for this limited edition of Treasure Island. Jacobsen hid a golden key in a small wooden chest somewhere in the North American mountains, along with a secret message written on a hundred dollar bill. If you can find the golden key, a real-world treasure chest awaits you. It’s filled with gold, silver, diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and rare valuable coins. All the hints and clues you need to find the golden key are said to be hidden somewhere in this special treasure hunt edition of the timeless classic. Be the first to discover and decipher the clues, and the treasure can be yours!
