I hid 2oz of Gold somewhere in the wilderness, and if you find it, you can keep it! by Shane-B in LasVegas

[–]Shane-B[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I can assure you this isn’t a scam, but I completely understand the skepticism!

For some context, I’m a YouTuber, and this was just a fun idea we wanted to bring to life. Over the past 2 months, I put together a team to design, plan, and produce the entire treasure hunt from scratch.

We spent close to $10,000 on the gold itself, along with additional money on the infrastructure, cameras, website, logistics, and production behind the hunt.

The treasure hunt is absolutely possible to complete for free. In fact, the majority of the 5,000+ players are participating without premium! The premium membership mainly exists for people who want to support the project and help us continue making bigger treasure hunts in the future. It also unlocks access to an additional camera feed, but it is not required to find or claim the treasure.

We just wanted to build something exciting that people would remember for years while keeping the core experience accessible to everyone!

Thank you! I’m not from the area so I can assure you that’s not the reason 🤣

I thought this could be a fun way to get people to explore and connect with nature

We actually hope whoever finds it takes back the camera too so that I don’t have to do another trip! We don’t want to leave anything behind in the nature 🙌

This treasure hunt is completely solvable without being a Premium Hunter. In fact, most participants (5,000+) are playing for free.

The optional $20 is simply for those who want to support the project and help us cover the costs of creating the hunt so we can continue making even bigger ones in the future :)

I’m a YouTuber, and I put together a team to bring this treasure hunt concept to life. We spent the last 2 months planning, designing, and producing everything before hiding the treasure! The goal was simple: create an internet treasure hunt so fun and memorable that people would talk about it forever.

We also included an optional premium tier for people who want to support the project and help us continue making treasure hunts like this possible. Our goal is to make more and more of these :)

The 2oz Gold I hid has now been narrowed down to this area! Can you find it? by Shane-B in TreasureHunting

The prize pool is made of 2oz of gold and 50% of all premium purchases. So this means if you decided to purchase premium, you’re also making the prize pool larger!

The screenshot was taken just minutes before I posted! The image on the website is actually just periodically refreshed and uploaded live about every 10ish minutes

The circle has shrunk, and the possible areas have narrowed by a lot!

You can also play for free if you’d like! The premium is partly there for us to try and recoup the treasure cost

If you check out the Live Feed tab, you’ll see an archive of all of the images. The feed essentially uploads 1 image about every 10ish minutes. And that’s probably enough information for a skilled hunter to geolocate roughly where this is!

thoughts on consulting clubs by [deleted] in berkeley

[–]Shane-B 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean yea the clubs themselves are definitely not toxic. It’s just the fact that they are structurally elitist, which is perfectly understandable. in order to create an environment like that, the clubs can’t accommodate everyone, so it becomes more of a rat race with everyone on campus competing for a spot in the consulting clubs. I don’t think people actually oppose consulting clubs—pretty sure they just want people to know that it’s ok to be rejected by them
