A new community adventure is coming to Winchester this summer. The Treasure Hunt Game – Winchester Edition officially launches July 1, inviting residents to solve clues, explore their town, and compete to find five real silver coins in a publicly accessible location somewhere in Winchester.
The five-day challenge will release 25 total clues — five per day — guiding participants through a mix of history, landmarks, and local exploration. The first person to correctly identify the exact location and submit the coordinates along with a photo wins the treasure.
The prize consists of five Morgan silver dollars with an approximate retail value of $500.
Organizers emphasize that the game is designed to be safe, family-friendly, and respectful of the community.
“Nothing is buried, and no digging or trespassing is allowed,” said organizers. “The treasure is identified in a publicly accessible location. We want people to explore Winchester, not damage it.”
Participants register online for $9.99 and receive daily clues via email. All rules are clearly outlined on the official website.
Beyond the thrill of the hunt, the event supports a greater mission. Proceeds from the game support Top Secret Kids, a 32-year-old public charity dedicated to providing low-cost, high-value science and math education programs to underserved students in the Boston area.
The Treasure Hunt Game is designed to encourage outdoor exploration, problem-solving, family participation, and local pride. Organizers hope it becomes an annual tradition, with future editions expanding to additional towns.
Residents of all ages are invited to participate. Four other local towns including Woburn, Burlington, Reading, and Stoneham will be doing their own separate hunts. Which town will find their treasure first?
