There’s a Cryptographic Treasure Hunt for Gold Art Objects in a Small English Town

An artist hid five, 1,000 small gold objects around Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire. If you find these valuable pieces? They’re yours…
It’s not as easy as just finding these objects and cashing in, however. You will have decode encrypted messages starting with five paintings at the local arts centre and the encrypted codes within.
‘I like the idea that ancient objects that were once hidden beneath the earth and were discovered and displayed at the museum are now being rehidden,’ said designer Luke Jerram. ‘I hope the public will enjoy visiting 20-21 Arts Centre and exploring the town and surrounding countryside.’
