Keys to Joining the Hunt

1)  There is no fee to participate in Treasure Hunt Nine ("TH9"). We encourage you to make a tax-deductible donation to the   ThanksUSA scholarship fund to ensure that this year's scholarship goals are met.

2)  This is a "virtual" treasure hunt, so you research the questions and find the answers using books and the Internet. As you work through each chapter/App update of TH9, letters from your answers will help you decipher a final clue to complete the theme.

3)  Clues will be released in themed installments and can be accessed through our website: http://www.ThanksUSA.org, or through the TH9 App on your mobile device. You can also download the 2013 Official ThanksUSA Treasure Hunt Clue Book as a PDF file from the Web site.
Registration ALL PLAYERS:

• Complete the online registration form on the Web site: http://www.ThanksUSA.org, or through your mobile device. If you do not have access to the Internet, you may submit your final answers via mail following the instructions in the Official Rules.
  
• If you registered for any of the previous ThanksUSA Treasure Hunts, you DO NOT NEED to register again to play TH9. You can simply sign in using your information from the previous year. If you have forgotten your username or password, please refer to the website for instructions on how to request a reminder or to assign a new password.
• Even if you have participated in past ThanksUSA Treasure Hunts through the website, you can download and install the TH9 Apps and participate through your mobile device. **Only one entry per person/per chapter. You may participate through the website or your mobile device, not both**
• TH9 is open to adults (individuals, and teachers representing their classrooms/youth groups) and children 13 years of age and older.
• If you are not a citizen of the United States, you can still register to play the game, but you must select "no" when asked if you are a "U.S Citizen." Non-citizens who take part in the contest will not be eligible to claim prizes.

5)  You can only submit one final answer for each TH9 chapter. After you have entered and submitted your final answer, you will get one chance to go back and change your final answer if it is wrong.

6)  You can answer clues to one chapter, two chapters, or more, or answer all six chapters, but no entrant can win a prize for more than one chapter of Treasure Hunt Nine. To be eligible for the Grand Prize, you must submit the correct answers for all six chapters. You can win a chapter prize and the grand prize.

7)  Winners will be selected randomly from those entrants who submitted correct answers.

8)  ENTRY DEADLINES

• TH9 begins Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2013, and ends May 31, 2014. We will award four prizes per installment.
• Entries must be submitted online or through the mobile App by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the entry deadline found on the chart below.
