Adventure Awaits in Vernal, Utah
Starting July 26th, 2024
How would $10,000 change your life? Outlaw’s Lost Treasure Hunt is back! Once again this summer, one clever team of hunters will take home a life-changing prize, but only after solving all of our cryptic clues faster than any of the thousands of other hunter’s searching for the same cache.
Butch Cassidy and his gang roamed Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah including the Uintah Basin. His gang hid away many of their ill gotten gains to keep the Sheriff or other bandits from seizing it.
This year, we’ve located a $10,000 treasure carefully tucked away by clever outlaws. Only one team will take home the loot.
Think you have what it takes?

- All puzzles, hints and treasures are located within Uintah County or online. All roads necessary to travel on can be driven in a standard car or sedan. All puzzles, hints and the final key are located within 20 miles of downtown Vernal. If you drive further than 20 miles, it is unnecessary and there is an easier way to solve the puzzle
- The final treasure loot is not buried. You will not need to dig or use shovels or a pick ax to access the secret key. It may be covered but can be easily retrieved. The location is easy to access and does NOT require specialized equipment such as repelling gear, wet suits, caving equipment, etc.

- Players of any age are welcome, however the puzzles are difficult and will require high level problem solving. The skill level required to conquer the puzzles is more difficult than an advanced, difficult escape room. Young children will be challenged.

- Be respectful of others, property and buildings. The hints and final key are not located within a fee pay area such as a State Park or Dinosaur National Monument. There is NOT a need to access private property such as a house or farm. All locations are on publicly accessible property.
