The Lantern Has Been Lit
A treasure waits somewhere in Northeast Texas.
On August 15, 2026, the inaugural Compass & Lantern Expedition begins. Armed with a digital clue book (PDF), your wit, and determination, you'll follow
an immersive story filled with riddles, secrets, and discoveries in pursuit of a hidden prize.
Texas has been divided into four expedition zones, each featuring its own unique treasure hunt—the first adventure launches in the Northeast Zone, with additional zones opening throughout 2026 and 2027. Our vision is to have all four expeditions running simultaneously, creating year-round opportunities for explorers, puzzle solvers, and treasure hunters alike.
Each zone will feature its own treasure, challenges, and rewards, ensuring that every expedition offers a unique experience.
But Texas is only the beginning.
As the Compass & Lantern community grows, future expeditions will expand beyond the Lone Star State and into new regions across the country.
Where will the next treasure be hidden? Only time will tell.
The journey begins here.
