Viridian Skies was a treasure hunt for three small, green gems—each hidden on public land somewhere in the American Midwest.

Beginning in April 2025, clues were published on the 15th of each month through March 2026. Properly deciphered, the twelve clues revealed the secret locations of the three hidden jewels—plus two bonus caches.

    REWARD!

    (per gamepiece)
  1. The gamepieces were small, green diamond-cut crystal jewels (and two bonus caches) each hidden in a nondescript container at one of five different locations on public land in the midwestern United States.
  2. Clues were published on the 15th of each month from April 2025 to March 2026. When solved correctly, the clues will zero in on the precise locations of the gamepieces and bonus caches; the hunt ends when all gamepieces and bonus caches have been claimed.
  3. Please be a conscientious steward of the outdoors; do no harm to property or nature. Leave all spaces as you found them—or nicer. In other words: Seek, don't destroy.
  4. Each cache was hidden with instructions to verify the find and claim any applicable reward.
  5. Registration closed as of December 31, 2025 at midnight (CST).
