Rules
Version 2026-06-14 · Effective from June 14, 2026
These rules govern participation in Trova il Tesoro treasure hunts. By taking part, you fully accept the rules described here.
Nature of the contest
Trova il Tesoro is a pure skill contest: the first to complete the chain of stages wins, based on skill and speed. There is no draw and no element of luck in awarding the prize.
Eligibility
Participation is reserved for adults (18 or older) with a valid account and truthful data. Each person may have only one account.
Entry and fee
Entry requires paying a €10 participation fee for each hunt: every hunt has its own ticket and there are no season passes. The fee grants the right to take part in that single hunt; the clues provided are transparent aids, equal for all participants.
How to win
The first participant to validly scan all the hunt's NFC tags, in the required order, thereby completing the chain of stages, wins. A scan is valid only if performed on site, with the physical NFC tag left in place where it is, and accompanied by a GPS location within the stage radius and an authentic selfie. Remote scans, duplications or copies of the tags are not allowed.
Tie-break
In case of close times, ranking is determined deterministically by the completion time of the last stage and, in case of a tie, by the registration identifier. No outcome is left to chance.
Fair play and disqualification
Falsifying location, using inauthentic selfies, tampering with tags and any form of deception are forbidden. Anyone who moves, removes or tampers with an NFC tag is disqualified. Violations lead to disqualification; in that case the winner is recalculated automatically in favour of the next valid participant.
Prize and delivery
Each hunt's prize equals 10% of the registration fees collected for that hunt, up to a maximum of €1,000 (capped). The hunt page shows the maximum amount as “up to €X”. It is awarded after the organisation verifies the completion evidence; delivery is subject to confirmation of the winner.
Tax obligations
Any taxes, duties or reporting obligations relating to the prize are the winner's responsibility, under applicable law.
Data processing
Participation requires a selfie at each stage, stored privately and used solely to verify the contest, deletable on request. The legal basis for processing is the performance of the participation contract.
Limitation of liability
The search takes place in the field and under the participant's responsibility, who must act prudently and respect places and rules. The organisation is not liable for force majeure or participants' negligent conduct.
Changes to the rules
The rules are versioned. In case of substantial changes, a new acceptance will be required before continuing to participate.
Governing law and jurisdiction
These rules are governed by Italian law. Any dispute is subject to the court of the consumer's place of residence, where provided by applicable law.
