The hunt will begin July 5, 2022.

In TRUSTING TRUE NORTH by Gina Linko, True finds escape from her worldly worries by making treasure maps.  Like True, you can use the map below to find a treasure hidden in every Deseret Book store in the country, either in-person or virtually.




INSTRUCTIONS
Use the map below to unlock the clue of where the books are hidden within each store.  Find the correct Code Table/Map Key on this website to decode the clue along True’s path to North.
  • Hint #1:  The old Dutch gnome knows the German secret writing.
  • Hint #1 decoded:  Old = 1947.   Translate "gnome" into Dutch.   Translate "secret writing" into German.

  • Hint #2:  Write them in rows.

In-Person Play:
The treasures hidden in each store will be one of the following Shadow Mountain books shown below, but they'll be disguised.  There will be at least one of every book hidden in one of the stores, but there will be more than one of some books hidden in different stores.  In addition to the small treasure found, every treasure-finder will be entered to win the grand prize: a DRAGONWATCH Boxed Set!  Once all of the treasures have been found, one of the treasure-finders will be randomly selected as the grand prize winner.  If you find a treasure, report your find by clicking the button below. A list of Deseret Book stores can be found here or by clicking the button above, and the list will be updated as each treasure is found.



Virtual Play: Five additional treasures can be claimed virtually (one per person) by describing in detail where you believe the book is hidden within the Deseret Book stores.

Note: When making a virtual guess, you only get one shot, so makes sure it’s your very best guess.  The first five fans who virtually guess correctly (giving the most details based on the clue) will claim one of True's treasures.  However, if you guess correctly and aren't one of the first five, you'll still be eligible for the grand prize. Make your guess by  clicking here or the button above.

Having trouble solving the clue?  No worries.  We’ll post a new hint every few days - after the Quest begins Tues, July 5th, 2022.

Note: Please only claim one treasure.  If you are one of the first to solve the clue and find a book, no spoilers please. Keep your discovery of where you found the book a secret.  Let everyone have the same fun as you did!
