The Treasure Hunt Word Search Series is unlike any puzzle collection you’ve seen before. Across eight thrilling volumes, you’ll follow the legendary outlaw David Lewis, whose hidden fortune has lured treasure hunters for over two centuries.
Each book is more than a set of word search puzzles—it’s an interactive treasure hunt where:
- Challenging word searches reveal secret letters, codes, and map fragments.
- Hidden messages and riddles advance the story of Lewis’s daring heists and mysterious caches.
- Every solved puzzle brings you closer to a real-world hidden treasure, waiting for the cleverest reader to claim it.
Your journey begins with Book 1: Arcane Voyage, as you uncover the first fragments of the outlaw’s coded journal. From there, the adventure takes you through:
- Arcane Voyage – The hunt begins with secret rivers, hideouts, and the first coded messages.
- Pyramid of Puzzles – Ancient-inspired grids and hidden ciphers guide your next steps.
