I got an email a while back about a site called Treasure Challenge that offered cash prizes for solving puzzles. I just tried the puzzle for the first time today. The site requires you to create a user to log in. You are then presented with the treasure challenges for the week. It will either tell you who solved the challenge or when the challenge will be active, or it will let you try the challenge.
First, you are presented with a series of trivia questions that shouldn’t be too difficult for anyone connected to the internet. Some of the questions require you to click on an ad link. The answer to the question takes you to a page that contains the answer. For example, today’s treasure challenge was cleary sponsored by Amazon and all links went to their site. This is, apparently, how the site makes money. After you answer the trivia questions, you are presented with a riddle for which you only get one guess per day.
After this, thinks get a bit murky. I haven’t gone any further, so I can’t say for certain what happens. The rules say something about a FASTCASH round and multiple clues. If you want to find out what that means, I suppose you’ll have to play.
