Who doesn’t love treasure hunts?

An anonymous user on Instagram has started a real-life treasure hunt game, at the end of which, if successful, you will find money, Live Mint reported.

This unique and innovative idea has taken the Indian capital, Delhi by storm. Since its start on February 25, "Treasure Hunt Delhi" has rapidly gained followers who are eager to participate in these daily adventures. It is attracting attention from all over the world.

The treasure hunt involves the account owner hiding INR500 notes in random places throughout the city, who then posts a video with clues on his Instagram page.

Whoever wins the hunt is asked to post a picture of the note as evidence, which is then shared on the main account's Instagram story.

On one of the recent posts on the page, the owner invited adventure seekers to come to North Delhi with a cryptic hint, writing, "North Delhi, boating kerne aa jao (Come to North Delhi for boating)." 

This post was accompanied by a video of a person hiding the INR500 note behind a small wall opening.

During an interview, the anonymous user said that he was an artist and uses his own money, adding that the hunt aims to help people.

He said, "I know it’s not a life-changing amount. But it can help people in several ways."

Furthermore, he shared his plans to attract brand endorsements so that he could give out bigger amounts to people.
