What is The Hare on the Moon?
The Hare on the Moon is a beautiful fully armchair treasure hunt published in 2019 by artist Joanna May. The prize is a stunning original painting valued at over $10,000. Unlike most hunts on this list, you never need to leave your home — all solving is done from the book itself through text and images.
This makes it one of the most accessible hunts for beginners who aren't ready for boots-on-the-ground adventures, or for international searchers who can't travel to the USA. The book is also a gorgeous art object in its own right.
