Treasure Hunt

Welcome to the Official Conch Republic Treasure Hunt!

Look, we know it’s hot, and we know there are chickens everywhere. But you’ve got five hours to prove you’re more observant than the average Freshwater Conch distracted by a frozen key lime pie on a stick.

Before you pedal off into the humidity, here’s the lowdown:

The Ground Rules

• Cheating? We Call It "Efficiency": Use your phone. Use AI. Use a psychic. Ask a local bartender. Anything goes—as long as you get the right answer and don’t get run over by a Conch Tour Train.

• Clock-In: You’ve got about five hours to get shipshape. Don't go drifting off now—while the Duval Street bars will keep the taps flowing deep into the night, the parks and docks around here start battening down the hatches as soon as the sun dips. If it takes you longer, you’re probably just at Sloppy Joe's or have been recruited by the chickens or joined a sunset cult at Mallory Square. We won't judge, but you might miss the prize. 

• Safety First, Glory Second: Key West streets are narrow. Watch for distracted drivers, roaming roosters, and the occasional iguanas falling from trees.

• The Word Hunt: At every destination, there is a hidden word or letter. Find it, log it, and keep it moving.

• Survival of the Wittiest: This hunt is at your own risk. We want you to win, not become a local news headline. Wear a helmet, obey all traffic laws, and for the love of Key Lime pie, stop at every 🛑 sign. Remember: in the Conch Republic, stop signs are suggestions for some, but mandatory for you. Watch for tourists who haven't seen a bicycle since 1994. Also, be aware that not every intersection is a four-way 🛑.

• Eyes on the Road: Don't be "that guy" staring at a screen while pedaling. Pull over to check your clues.

• The Big Payoff: If you make it to the final stop with all the correct letters and the magic word, there’s a reward waiting for you. No spoilers, but it beats a sunburn.

• Stuck or lost? If an iguana ate your map or you're hopelessly confused, contact us before you throw in the towel.

• Log your Intel: Record your answers in your 📱 notes (e.g., A1=xxx, A2=xxx). You'll need every single one to decode the secret phrase to unlock the treasure at the finish line!
