Find Dank Treasure Hunt Participation Guide
A good hunt starts with clear instructions.

Before you leave
Find the current announcement on the official Find Dank Instagram and check the event page. Confirm the date, venue, search boundary, opening and closing times, age restrictions, entry cost if the host charges one, and the claim point. A free Find Dank activation does not automatically make entry to the surrounding festival free.
Save the instructions and plan how to get home. Take a charged phone if the announced format uses digital clues. Ask the venue about access requirements before visiting; a photograph of a proposed activation is not confirmation that a stand is open.
Follow the announced format
A first-find hunt rewards the qualifying find under that hunt’s rules. A hidden-ticket hunt may involve collecting tickets and handing them in before a deadline. A checkpoint trail uses agreed stops. Do not carry a rule from one hunt into another.
At Puff & Putt, the supplied Find Dank ticket photograph describes collecting tickets. The planned Soweto activation has its own turn-in instructions. Those examples explain formats; the golf-day ticket is an archive item and is not a current entry.
QR codes and NFC checkpoints
Use QR or NFC interactions only where the current activation announces them. A printed QR can open a clue or destination; an NFC tag can open a link on a compatible phone. Neither is automatically proof of a win. Follow the displayed claim instructions.
Check the destination before providing information. Find Dank’s official website is findank.co.za. Do not send payment codes, passwords or identity documents to claim a clue. If a checkpoint will not load, ask the announced stand or venue contact for the permitted alternative rather than moving or damaging the marker.
Search with care
Stay within the agreed public or permitted venue area. Respect staff directions, other visitors and accessibility needs. Do not enter private rooms, move fixtures, damage plants or search beyond a boundary because a clue looks promising.
Participation does not require cannabis consumption. Follow the host’s age and conduct rules. A cannabis-themed event or giveaway is not permission for an unlawful transaction; contributors must ensure their prizes and arrangements are lawful.
Claim and close the loop
Use the announced collection point and deadline. Keep tickets or other stated evidence intact. Ask staff how ties, missing tickets or disputed finds are handled under that activation’s rules. A post announcing a prize is different from a record confirming that it was distributed.
Share photographs only with the consent of people pictured. Send corrections or access problems to Find Dank so the event record can stay useful. If there is no current announcement, explore the archive rather than following an old route.
