Give your theory a paper trail.
A free worksheet for book, radio and online treasure hunts. Keep what the clue says separate from what you think it means.
Start with one testable claim.
For example, “three stars” is an observation; “three trail junctions” is an interpretation. A useful test identifies three junctions on the allowed map and checks a second clue that was not used to choose them. If the counts or location fail, keep the failed test instead of quietly changing the theory.

Use the sheet with the directory.
Start at the hunt directory for organizer links and prize notes. Use the world map to understand a region, rather than treating its pins as hiding coordinates. Read our clue-solving method and status-check guide when you need a more detailed process.
