Tucson Treasure Map~ Choose Your Own Ending!

Display of Tucson, AZ treasure map

Unfinished map waiting for you to choose your own ending! More graphics and clues are drawn in then the map gets burned to aged perfection!

Close up example of clues added to the map. The main riddle is in the bottom right corner of this map. There is also a street number on an old west sign post plus a clue to unscramble telling the treasure hunter more details where to go.

Picture of Agua Caliente Park from the Northeast side of Tucson. This park is a natural desert oasis and a great suggestion for your treasure map. I lived on the east side of Tucson for 5 years before going out and discovering this beautiful park. If you live in Tucson and haven't been here yet, go check it out!

Trail Dust Town is also on the east side of Tucson. Great replica with old west vibe. There are a couple restaraunts to choose from, shopping, re-enactment show, train ride, and a bunch of locations to hide your treasure!

You can also choose a restaraunt as your ending or addition to your map. This picture is of Ric's Cafe on River Road. I have often arranged for a waitor or waitress to hand off clues or deliver special items applicable to my date. So many restaurants offer atmosphere that add to a memorable occasion.

Finished map I made for my parents 50th Anniversary. They had to solve the riddles on the map to find their treasure. When they got to their destination my sister, neice and son, and myself were the surprise treasure! We live in Utah now and made a surprise trip down for their anniversary. It was an excellent surprise and great success! Plus they have the map as a keepsake of the special day.

A Christmas Treasure Map



Christmas Treasure Map and Treasure Hunt
 
It's a Christmas Treasure Map! The perfect unique gift for Christmas! This is a gift with the true focus on the meaning of Christmas. Map has an "old world" feel of early Bethlehem and the birth of Jesus.

The treasure map is applicable to any home with a Christmas tree and a bible. Give the map to your loved and they have to figure out "where do I go from here"? The only obvious clue is the scripture verse on the bible. The treasure map kit includes a Christmas riddle for you to hide between the pages of the Bible for Luke 2:7 as depicted on the map.

These instructions will tell your treasure hunter to find 4 letters hidden within the map. Unscramble the letters and their treasure will be hidden inside!. The 4 letters hidden in the map are T - R - E - E. Can you find the 4 letters in the map?

Hide your own Christmas treasure inside your Christmas tree! You can make it as simple or elaborate as you would like. When I spent Christmas with a family in Holland one year, they have a tradition of writing a poem or a letter telling your loved why they are so special to you. This would be an inexpensive, meaningful gift. You can also role it up like a scroll and tie a gold ribbon around it. Tuck it into the tree as your treasured gift.

Other small presents that would work great are gift cards. The treasure hunt jazzes up a simple to give gift like a gift card. Perfume or jewelry would also be great ideas. Maybe even a ring!

This map will be sure to be a gift treasured by your family or friend. The map can be framed for future Christmas decorating or tucked into a scrapbook. Merry Christmas!

Approximately 8-1/2" x 11". Shipped flat in an envelope for affordable, safe shipping. But you can roll the map up into a scroll to give as a gift if you like. Maps are hand-dyed and burned so they may vary slightly. I generally burn the same areas on the map so they look similar.
