Based on local folklore and a little bit of fiction, Champlain's treasure may very well be buried on Royal Island; directly adjacent to the Delawana. Historically, Royal Island was an overnight stop as Champlain explored Georgian Bay’s 30,000 islands in 1615.

Specifics
The Game can be customized to fit groups of all sizes. Having less people per team will create manageable groups so that all participants are kept active. This is a high impact activity as teams will be traveling throughout the entire resort. Canoeing may or may not be implemented depending on your specifics requirements and group demographics.

The Game
The Delawana Gold Rush is an elaborate Treasure Hunt within a Scavenger Hunt. Teams are given a list of riddles. The one word/number answer to each riddle will reveal yet another piece of the master puzzle; eventually uncovering the location to Champlain’s lost gold treasure. The team that actually finds the gold first is ultimately the winner.

Riddles
Approximately 20 riddles will be given to each team. Armed only with a compass and some maps, they must correctly solve each "walkthrough" task based riddle in order to obtain the answer; a word, phrase or number that is part of the master puzzle.

Master Puzzle
In essence, the master puzzle is a paragraph with 20 holes if you will - blank spaces that must be filled in, in order to reveal the final clue to Champlain’s gold. Once all 20 riddles above have been solved, the answers will be plugged into the appropriate "hole" in the master puzzle. Once the group feels they know the answer to the master puzzle, they must go and actually retrieve the gold.
