KSL.com reported that organizers say a nationwide scavenger hunt with a $1 million grand prize starts in Utah. Nate Alder, founder of Skavengerz and of the outdoor company Klymit, teamed with Jeremy Lyman, CEO of KryptoChase, and Brandon Osmond, a travel and tourism marketing expert. [1]
The hunt combines KryptoChase's competition platform with the Skavengerz app. Participants register with a fee, complete challenges and solve clues over several days, and there is no hidden treasure chest. Each state will hold its own competition first, and state winners will receive $5,000 and a place in a national championship worth $1 million. [1]
Organizers said the aim is to encourage people to get outdoors and spend less time on screens. "We're trying to pull it back out in the real world," Alder said. [1]
