Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world.
Letterboxing is another treasure hunt game. It is played outdoors and combines elements of
orienteering, art and problem-solving. Letterboxers hide small,
weatherproof boxes in publicly-accessible places (like parks) and distribute clues to finding the box in printed catalogs, on one of several web sites (see below), or by word of mouth. Individual letterboxes usually contain a logbook and a rubber stamp.
More recently, the treasure hunt game has been used for corporate entertainment and team building. Organisations may use treasure hunt games where managers perceive that inter-departmental relationships need to be improved. Alternatively it could just be a morale booster.
In May 2007, the Pennsylvania Lottery (USA) debuted a pick-5-of-30 game called "Treasure Hunt".
