Then, after a bit more hiking and some bushwhacking, I finally see it. The prize. The thing no one is supposed to know the location of, at least for another few weeks. A golden treasure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">I have to fight a lizard-brain instinct to reach for it. No. If all goes to plan, the treasure will soon belong to someone else\u2014to the winner of a wild treasure hunt dreamed up by two of the guys leading me through this remote wilderness. One is a musician named Tom Bailey. The other is Jason Rohrer, the mastermind. Rohrer has designed some of the brainiest, highest-concept <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/tag\/video-games\/\">video games<\/a> of the 21st century. Now there\u2019s this: not a video game, but Rohrer\u2019s first game set in the real world.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A golden trophy shining on a tree stump\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66eb34d251891e6d3cb5d601\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/treasure-hunt-feature-1.jpg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66eb34d251891e6d3cb5d601\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/treasure-hunt-feature-1.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66eb34d251891e6d3cb5d601\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/treasure-hunt-feature-1.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66eb34d251891e6d3cb5d601\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/treasure-hunt-feature-1.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66eb34d251891e6d3cb5d601\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/treasure-hunt-feature-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66eb34d251891e6d3cb5d601\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/treasure-hunt-feature-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66eb34d251891e6d3cb5d601\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/treasure-hunt-feature-1.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66eb34d251891e6d3cb5d601\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/treasure-hunt-feature-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-jSZdqE fJvQtP caption AssetEmbedCaption-fNQBPI dDrfgT asset-embed__caption\"><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionText-bHjzlu iUEiRd kVUvEC iXWezO caption__text\"><\/p>\n<p>This is the real Project Skydrop trophy.

He is 46 years old and tall. Like NBA-power-forward tall. And skinny. His blond hair, which once hung down his back, is now cut short. Today, he\u2019s in boots, cargo pants, black aviator glasses, and a bucket hat. (Think: Vietnam War chic, save for an extremely Gen X wallet chain.) His 21-year-old son is also here, similarly tall, hair youthfully flowing. He\u2019d drawn the short straw and had to be my personal guide. As the hours drag on, he reminds the group that we\u2019re losing sun and should <em>really<\/em> leave the hiding spot before dark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The treasure was paid for and made by Rohrer himself, cast from 10 troy ounces of 24k gold. It\u2019s worth about $25,000, but added to that bounty is a yet-to-be-determined, potentially life-changing amount of bitcoin, depending on how many people participate in the hunt. What I\u2019m allowed to tell you about the treasure\u2019s location is that it\u2019s somewhere in the northeastern United States and that I got here by first flying to Rohrer\u2019s home in Dover, New Hampshire. Maybe I should add, at the risk of saying too much, that I was then driven (again, blindfolded) quite a ways away, possibly across state lines, to public land who knows where. A just-released YouTube trailer for Project Skydrop offers more specifics. \u201cPerhaps there\u2019s a feeling deep down inside of you,\u201d goes the Gandalfian narration. \u201cA hunger. For mystery. For adventure. And most importantly, for treasure.\u201d Then the video explains that to find the treasure, there\u2019s a special map, updated each morning for (at most) 21 days, and photos taken via drone, shot from progressively higher and higher points above the treasure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">We spend several hours at the drop site. The guys mount six motion-sensor cameras around the clearing, which they hope will provide epic footage of the find. They also fly their drone straight up and start snapping pics. The mood is giddy, even as the sun begins to set and mosquitoes descend. Tasks done, we finally pack up, and Rohrer\u2019s kid readies my blindfold for the trip back. At the last moment, Rohrer calls Bailey over and points at their treasure, barely visible through a mess of baby trees. \u201cWe\u2019re never gonna see it again, Tom,\u201d Rohrer says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Two days from this moment, the race to find it starts. And if you are reading this on September 19, 2024, that day is today. The hunt has just begun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The muddy trail levels out and we stop to catch our breath.
