TREASURE HUNT 2007
Welcome to ThanksUSA's second American history treasure hunt (TH2) designed to celebrate America's values and to promote scholarships for the kids and spouses of the military.
For newcomers to our effort, ThanksUSA stands for Treasure Hunt Aiding Needs of Kids and Spouses of those serving the United States of America. ThanksUSA began as the "brainblast" of two Virginia schoolgirls in 2005 as a non-partisan, charitable effort to mobilize Americans of all ages to "thank" our active-duty troops by providing need-based college, technical, and vocational school scholarships to their spouses and dependents.
Treasure Hunt Two is Free ... although we hope you will make a donation to the scholarship fund for the families of our brave men and women in uniform who protect our freedoms each and every day. Every contribution counts.

This year’s theme is "Pillars of Democracy" and the questions will focus on the fascinating histories of Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington. In addition to the 12 chapters that correspond to the 12 states, there is also a "for kids, by kids" chapter that tests your knowledge of several of the states' histories and ends with important quotes about our country.
We will tease you, bend your mind and coax you through cross-words, sudokus, hidden letters, word jumbles and much more. At the end of each chapter, you will search for the key to unlock a "pillar" that represents one of the fundamental underpinnings of our democracy. If you submit the correct answer, the unlocked pillar will reveal a symbol or image of the answer and a link for you to read more about how that particular symbol or document contributed to the foundation of our democracy You can play the entire game online interactively thanks to our designer friends at ShuffleBrain Inc. |
