Utah Treasure Hunt organizers ‘lay out the board’ in this week’s hints

SALT LAKE CITY ( ABC4 ) — Over a month has now passed since this year’s Utah Treasure Hunt kicked off, and the $25K still remains at large.

The Utah Treasure Hunt, ran by organizers David Cline and John Maxim, has become an annual summer tradition since the first one in 2020. Each year, Cline and Maxim work to create a riddle that once solved, will lead adventurers to the prize.

The 2023 hunt was the longest it took anyone to find the treasure, which was undiscovered for almost two months. This year’s hunt may be right on its heels, as the riddle dropped on June 15 and the treasure is still undiscovered as August approaches.

Each week, Cline and Maxim release a set of hints through an email subscription to help hunters in their search. Here are this week’s hints. Keep in mind you can view previous clues on our website at ABC4.com in the Utah Treasure Hunt category.

This week they started the email by saying: “This week we have decided to lay out the board so it will be easier to put the puzzle together if you are sitting on the correct pieces.”

“The biggest twist to this year’s poem is the fact that the first few lines don’t tell you what trail you need to find the treasure, but rather what county you need.”

Utah Treasure Hunt 2024 Riddle:

Si sufres dolor que se cura con oro
Busca el atajo donde canta el coro
Encuentra el lugar por el cual se nombra
Dale la vuelta y sigue la sombra
¿dónde aprendes a oler el helado?
¿O comimos langostas en el pasado?
Cuando vuelves a mirar el amanecer
Sigue derecho, lo puede hacer
Mira los números como si fueras un cuervo
La edad cuando el llegó es lo que observo
Ahora estás cerca, una última pista
Muévete al lugar con la mejor vista
