    • Families with more team members can play together. EX: mom, dad, and 3 kids can play on 1 team. Younger kids aren’t required to be in photos. Please register these kids as “assistants.”

    • 400+ items locations are on the list. You do not need to find everything. Each item/location is worth a unique point value. EX. a banana may be worth 1 point whereas a yellow stop sign could be 20 points.

    • Highest scoring teams make the finals

  • Teams who wear matching uniforms will receive points. Remember, the top teams with the most points will make the finals so earn those easy ones. All uniformed teams will earn the same amount of points no matter how elaborate your get up is. Wearing basic black Ts will count but there will be a prize for the most popular uniform.

a word from Past players:

“I’ve never experienced anything like Moneyman, in all the cities I’ve visited. The thrill of doing something so unique… alongside your best friend in your hometown… and for the chance to win $$$… it’s unbeatable.”

- Adeline

"I'm always a winner when I can laugh with my daughter, which happens a lot for us on our treasure hunt.”

“try to not get stung by bees or spend 30 minutes looking for goats...” 

- Meemaw and Aunt Lori of Team Twinners

“We had SUCH a fun time with the friendly competition & exploring Johnstown area. Winning the costume contest was a huge help for our summer fun as a new mom and dad!” ($400 prize)

- Aladdin

“Moneyman’s $10,000 scavenger hunt was one of the most fun events here in Johnstown. It brought the community together in a fun way, and you could tell that he and his team put a lot of work into it. It gave everyone the chance to meet new people and explore new places. It was a truly awesome event that I would definitely recommend getting involved in if you can!!”

- Madison

“I've done the 10k scavenger hunt twice and both times I had a blast. We somehow made the finals the first year we did it, and then in 2023, my best friend and I teamed up for the scavenger hunt and we had a BLAST. We went ALL over town. We went through Windber, Richland, Portage, Ferndale, Downtown Johnstown and so many other areas. I found out about businesses that I didn't even know existed and it's so cool knowing we're supporting local businesses by participating. When we found out we made finals, we literally were jumping and crying in the middle of the mall. We had such a fun time racing around Johnstown and I'm so stoked to participate again. Even if you don't win, it's an absolute blast playing.”

- Kaylee, 2023 finalist
