TH2015 Treasure Hunt
Congratulations to our Teams in the 2015 Phoenix Treasure Hunt! We want to thank you all for
your participation this year and hope you had an excellent night of fun! The following covers the
2015 Hunt materials, Clue Site solutions and Hunt results showing how each team fared.
Our 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners were individually recognized
with unique theme related Trophies. Ranking was based upon
the hunt times taking into account the adjusted drive times, the
number of sites/receipts turned in as well as any penalties
assessed. And we also provided special recognition for our Last
Place Team.
The 1st Place Team will have their names added to the Traveling
Trophy and get to display the Trophy through the coming year.
Having demonstrated their prowess in Hunting, our 1st Place
Team will also become our 2016 Treasure Hunt Committee and
will have the honor and privilege of putting together our 2016
Treasure Hunt next spring. Each year our Hunters come
together in anticipation of a challenging and entertaining Hunt,
and they recognize and appreciate the commitment and pride
each Committee places in their responsibility. We’re sure our
new 2016 Committee will do a great job!
We hope you enjoyed our banquet and awards this year at the Palmbrook Country Club. This was
a new venue for our Hunt banquet and we were happy with the food and services they provided.
We may find them on the Banquet Map in a future Hunt!
Your voting was used to rate the best Clue Sites and are included inside. This year the interactive
sites “Punishment of Sisyphus”, “Miming Letters” and “Sleepy Hollow Water Quiz” were favorites.
On the other end, the puzzle based sites “Myst Plates”, “Mythbusters Match Game”, “Tri-Force
Tangram” and “Pyramid Word Puzzle” were not very popular.
As always, we want to thank our Volunteers this year for helping make the Hunt successful.
Without their contribution of their businesses, yards, driveways and garages as well as their time,
we’d have no Hunt. Their patience and generosity is appreciated!
We’ll be looking forward to our 2016 Hunt and hope to see each of you here with us again! Our
turnout was exceptional this year. Help keep our momentum into next year! The Hunt is open to
all participants, so let others know and see if they’d like to join us!

Treasure Hunt Sites – 2015 Voting Results:
At each Award Banquet, the Hunters are asked to rate the Clue Sites. Top sites are recognized by Hunters
for their challenge and creativity! The least popular Site gets recognized for a variety of reasons - for some
it’s the design, others it’s how it was set up or where it’s located. Often, it’s the concept itself…a real
“groaner”…that no one gets. The voting is by Team and looks for the most popular Sites as well as the
least popular Site. Voting is done during breakfast and the results shared during the awards ceremony.
The top votes this year were all for interactive teamwork sites which required teamwork to accomplish the
task and had physical interaction with the site to solve. “Punishment of Sisyphus” required teamwork to roll
a team member inside the plastic ball up the hill multiple times. “Miming Letters” required teamwork to
communicate the clue letters via hand semaphore from one member to the next around the blind corners of
the fountain. And “Sleepy Hollow Water Quiz” required teamwork to simultaneously connect all six wires
correctly on the quiz board to get the solution without soaking their team member is the shower chair.
The least favorites were spread across “Myst Plates”, “Mythbusters Match Game”, “Tri-Force Tangram” and
“Pyramid Word Puzzle”.
