Armchair Treasure Hunting began in 1979 when Kit Williams launched a book called Masquerade. The world was turned upside down as treasure hunters from all over the globe descended on the United Kingdom looking for the exquistly crafted golden hare. Since those heady days there have been many imitations, some good, some not so good and some great.
In 1992 Dan James founded the worlds only club dedicated to Armchair Treasure Hunting. Since that time The Armchair Treasure Hunt Club (TATHC) has gone from strength to strength. Featuring all Armchair Treasure Hunts around the world as well as running their own private hunts.
This site is dedicated to the work of all Treasure Hunt setters but most especially to the craft and sheer genius of Kit Williams and Dan James.
The only hunts you will find featured here are those that have had real treasures buried in or hidden on the ground. You will however find links in the Links section to more mundane, less pure hunts and puzzles which you are welcome to visit.
Happy Hunting
