Author and publisher Byron Preiss created an elaborate nationwide puzzle in 1982, by publishing ‘The Secret: A Treasure Hunt,’ a book containing twelve cryptic poems and twelve intricate paintings. Each pairing of verse and image supposedly leads to a ceramic casque buried in a North American park, which could be exchanged for a precious gem. However, Preiss was the only person who knew the precise location of every casque, and he took this vital information to his grave after a fatal car accident in 2005.
