All-American Treasure Hunts LLC
Terms of Service and Participation Agreement
Effective Date: January 1, 2026
By registering for and participating in an All-American Treasure Hunts LLC ("AATH") treasure hunt, you agree to the following Terms of Service and Participation Agreement.
1. Eligibility
Participation is open only to individuals who have completed the official registration process and paid the required entry fee.
Only registered participants are eligible to receive weekly clues and claim the prize.
2. Treasure Hunt Prize
Each treasure hunt offers one (1) prize only.
There will be only one winner for each treasure hunt.
3. Treasure and Prize Redemption
The item hidden within the designated hunt area is not cash. The hidden item contains a unique verification code.
To claim the prize, the registered participant who discovers the code must promptly email the code to All-American Treasure Hunts LLC using the official contact information provided for the hunt.
Once the code has been verified, All-American Treasure Hunts LLC will issue the advertised cash prize by check to the verified registered participant.
The verification code has no cash value by itself and serves solely as proof that the treasure has been located.
4. Registered Participants Only
Only individuals who have officially registered for the applicable treasure hunt before locating the treasure are eligible to claim the prize.
Any code submitted by a person who was not properly registered for that specific treasure hunt will be deemed invalid, and no prize will be awarded based upon that submission.
Registration may not be transferred after the treasure has been located.
5. Weekly Clues
Beginning on the announced date for each treasure hunt, registered participants will receive clue emails according to the published schedule.
Clues will continue to be distributed until the treasure has been successfully claimed or until the hunt is otherwise concluded by All-American Treasure Hunts LLC.
Participants are responsible for providing a valid email address and ensuring that emails from All-American Treasure Hunts LLC are not blocked or filtered.
