Solve the Mystery of Alex and the Greatest Dream is an armchair treasure hunt in the form of an illustrated fantasy novel, created by Ben Naude and first published in 2007, although it was only marketed on the internet since 2008 The Treasure is discovered by solving the mystery of the greatest dream - once you do so, you send your answer by post to the creaters to claim the treasure. Synopsis The book is about a adolescent boy, Alex, and his four friends that enter the story later (Jessica, Janco and Harry). They are led into the dreamless lands by Alex to find the Greatest Dream. The creator has hinted on his personal site that there is clue the solve the mystery in the similarities between the Caylix Quest and the Mystery of Alex and the Greatest Dream. According to the official site there are four possible ways to solve the mystery and subsequently claiming the treasure. Each of the four ways or paths are represented by one of the main characters. Still, there seems to be only one answer, leading to the conclusion that it is not four answers but four ways of presenting that one answer. The Treasure The treasure is estimated at $500 000, (a portion of each book sold is added to the pot) and will be distributed between the first four people that correctly solves the mystery. It is unclear whether the treasure is a cash prize for the amount or an item(s) worth the amount. Armchair Treasure hunt An Armchair Treasure Hunt is any activity that requires solving puzzles or riddles in some easily portable and widely reproduced format (usually an illustrated children's book), and then using clues hidden either in the story or the graphics of the book to find a real treasure somewhere in the physical world. Some newer Armchair Treasure hunts such as the Mystery of Alex and the Greatest Dream and the Merlin Mystery does not require a search in the physical world but merely that the mystery or puzzle be solved correctly. The physical treasure that were sought or mentioned in the book are then awarded to the winners.
