How it works

A five-day puzzle hidden inside the skyway

No special gear, no time pressure. Bring a phone, a pen, and a curious lunch hour.

Pre-register & get the kit

Grab a $5 ticket. One week before kickoff we’ll email your seek.spskyway.com login and the official rules — your dashboard for clue tracking, hidden-letter logging, and walking directions, all in one place.

Daily clue drops at 9:00 AM

Monday through Friday, a new clue lands in your inbox. Each one points to a single letter hidden somewhere in the public skyway. Solve it on a lunch break — most clues take 20–40 minutes.

Assemble the keyword. Claim the cache.

Stack all five letters into the secret word, then meet TC Treasure at the reveal location to collect your prize and a final clue toward the grand prize cache.

What $5 gets you

The full kit, not just a ticket.

Pre-registration unlocks every part of the hunt — from the morning clue drop to the final prize claim. You can play along without registering, but only registered hunters can claim a prize.

No purchase necessary. Open to all ages (under-18 needs guardian permission).

Hand-written by TC Treasure. Each clue is a riddle, a photo, or a map fragment.

Questions

Everything else worth knowing

No download. Clues arrive by email at 9:00 AM each weekday and you play at seek.spskyway.com on whatever phone or laptop you have. We email your login one week before kickoff.

Most seekers solve a clue in 20–40 minutes. Chase it on a lunch break, after work, or alongside other seekers downtown.

Each seeker needs their own ticket and email — that’s how the daily clue and the seek.spskyway.com login reach the right inbox. But nothing stops a group of seekers from heading downtown together and comparing notes between buildings.

Catch up. Every clue stays open until the reveal. As long as you’ve got all five letters by Friday at the reveal, you’re in.

Announced 24 hours before the final clue drops. It’s always inside the skyway and always walkable from a Green Line stop.

The hunt only takes you into public skyway spaces during business hours. Under-18s are welcome with guardian permission. We don’t send anyone anywhere closed or restricted.

Registered seekers get one bonus hint per clue, plus a final “mercy hint” dropped at 4 PM each day in the SPSkyway_Hunt update.

It funds the prize cache, pays the local makers and businesses contributing to it, and keeps the lights on at TC Treasure for next year’s hunt.
