Over $30,000.00 in cash, gold, silver & jewelry… and still growing.

One winner takes all.

For months, this has been building.

The sponsors.

The planning.

The research.

The quiet placement.

Why This Was Created

This was never just about a treasure chest.

It was built to:

• Bring families into town

• Encourage exploration of our historic district

• Support small businesses that have been fighting to stay open

• Promote tourism to Newton Falls

• Put our town back on the map

• Prove that Newton Falls is a place where businesses can thrive

Foot traffic matters.

Energy matters.

Attention matters.

If people come here, eat here, shop here, explore here…

that momentum carries long after the treasure is found.

The prize is significant.

But the real win is movement.

How It Works

• Clues release every two weeks on Tuesdays at noon

• Posted on:

– Fieldview Acres Mercantile Facebook

– Instagram

– TikTok

– Available to read at The Merc the following day after the clue has been released

This is not a race.

This is not a scramble.

This is not a stunt.

It is built on:

Observation.

Interpretation.

Patience.

Context.

The Rules Matter

Free to participate

Open to the public

Designed to unfold slowly

No digging

No climbing

If it feels risky, the clue was misunderstood.

• Accessible from publicly available ground

• Placed with care and purpose

No special tools required.

Participants assume responsibility for their actions. Fieldview Acres Mercantile is not liable for injury, loss, or misinterpretation of clues.

While You’re Here

Treasure Hunters — eat local.

Shop local.

Explore the historic district.

Newton Falls is not just the backdrop.

It is the story.

Years from now, someone will say,

“Remember when that treasure hunt brought everyone downtown?”

They won’t just remember the chest.

They’ll remember the energy.

The families walking Broad Street.

The restaurants full.

The lights on later than usual.

This is about more than finding something hidden.

It’s about rediscovering what’s been here all along.
