Official Treasure Hunt Contest Rules and Waiver
Effective April 21, 2021
1. HOW TO ENTER: Happy Hunting (“Sponsor”) is hosting monthly treasure hunts (“monthly hunts”) in Massachusetts. These rules constitute the official rules for those monthly hunts (collectively, the “Official Rules”).
a. Our monthly hunts will begin on the date and time as posted on Happy Hunting’s website: www.Happyhuntingnewengland.com (“”Happy Hunting website”). To purchase entry to a monthly hunt, Participants must purchase an entry ticket to the hunt on the Happy Hunting website by 10 am EST on the date of the hunt. Hunt dates will vary month to month, but will be announced on our website at least one week prior to the hunt date. In addition to purchasing entry, Participants will need a valid email address, and internet connection to participate in the hunt.
2. ELIGIBILITY: Happy Hunting is open to residents of the United States, including the District of Columbia, who are at least 18 years of age as of the date of purchased entry into a monthly hunt.

Relatives are defined to include spouse, mother, father, in-laws, grandmother, grandfather, brother, sister, children and grandchildren. One entry per individual. Void where prohibited by law.
3. PROMOTION: The first registered Participant to complete all riddles, puzzles and find the hidden 2x2 treasure box and contact Happy Hunting at happyhuntingnewengland@gmail.com with the claim code hidden inside the treasure box will be the winner of the monthly hunt. Upon successful verification of all information, as determined by Happy Hunting, the Participant will be declared the winner and will receive the hunt’s prize amount, determined by Happy Hunting prior to the hunt and communicated to all participants prior to the start of the hunt. Prizes will only be awarded to the first Participant who is successfully verified by Happy Hunting. To complete all riddles, puzzles and find the treasure box requires skill. The treasure box cannot be found without completing all riddles and puzzles and the winner will never be selected by a random draw. This is a game of skill.
