This was the first book and first boots on the ground hunt from Cowlazars and Kpro, after several previous "grand adventure" hunts that were YouTube based. The search area was officially stated as the 48 states of the contiguous U.S., but one of the first puzzles solved focuses the reader on Clark County, Nevada, which includes Las Vegas where the authors live.
As stated during a Code Bar interview, the primary goal of the hunt was for people to have fun. The hunt was aimed at beginner to intermediate hunters, and contained no advanced ciphers. The reader did not have to recognize the inside jokes or parody versions of hunters referenced in the book to solve the puzzle.
