Treasure Hunt Database (THDB)
Todd Pitman is a multimedia artist, designer, and writer from Minnesota who has been creating one-of-a-kind, boots-on-the-ground adventures for TC Treasure since 2015. With 25 years of experience in web design and more than 100 successful treasure hunts (many in collaboration with other creators), Todd—who publishes under the pseudonym “Johannes”—is a respected voice in modern treasure hunting.
Sometimes we just love the puzzle design, illustrations, or story in a hunt, whether we participated in it or not. Here are my ranked favorites.
A listing of all the hunts I've work on with optional additional notes.
