Hello, fellow redditors and friends. We have a little special something in store for you today. But—we’re going to make you work for it.

That’s right. This is a scavenger hunt. With the assistance of a few of our most trusted community members over in /r/secretsanta, we’ve hidden 56 packages for you to find. 50 states, 1 District of Columbia, and 5 additional countries. You’re on the search for a box full of fun, and inside you’ll find a variety of goodies for you and anyone you choose to share them with.

special thanks to /u/stuff_of_epics for the awesome gif. also Brad Pitt.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it

In each local subreddit, you’ll find a clue posted by someone from your community, hinting at where this box will be hidden. Then they’ll post again once the box is officially in its hiding spot with another hint. Clues will be linked below, so you don’t have to worry about chasing waterfalls. Use these clues to go on your own local adventure to find the box hidden in your town! As the day progresses, if it hasn’t been found yet, they’ll post more clues.

Not sure what your local subreddit is? We’ve listed the state and city subreddits we’ll be posting in at the bottom of this post. If you find the package, please report back to your subreddit with photos so everyone can enjoy! The contents of each package are unique, filled with special products from some of our merchants (many of whom are redditors!) in the reddit marketplace.

GO FIND WIN!

Find your location below and start searching! Note: International packages may be posted up to 1 day late.

adorable

Edit: The people who hid these boxes are all just normal redditors who were awesome and volunteered to help out. They also have jobs and school and other things, so please be patient with them if a few clues are posted late or you don’t think the clues are as good as they should be. They had to come up with the hiding spots and clues all on their own and they did it for your sake, and you should thank them!
