• Treasure casket and bird box removed from treasure site yesterday.
• Marking of entries underway, it will take a while.
• Prize Giving will be March/April in a London pub, date to be announced (along with the results).

• ATH2025 is CLOSED, thanks for taking part. You can now relax, the treasure was found.
• If you submitted an entry you should have got an acknowledgment by 4pm today that it was either safely received and understood, or that there was an issue that needs resolution. Contact the setters at SetterATH2025@gmail.com if you submitted an entry but did not, eventually, receive an acknowledgement.
• When you were polishing your entry in the final days of the hunt the last thing on your mind was a story about your team’s activities, and we were late in saying it would yield a prize. So if you want to polish your story, or have still to submit one, you have until the release of the draft solution on Thursday, 15th January, at 00:01.
• The treasure casket will remain in place until at least lunchtime on January 20th. Feel free to visit.
• Marking your entries will now start. When complete the results will be published and a prize giving event in a London pub will be arranged. Details of both will be publicized on this page and an email will be sent to subscribers on Pablo’s ATH Mailing List.
• Many thanks to the teams that allowed us to monitor their progress, it was helpful. We would be grateful if access to those sites and sheets remains available.

• A few masochists would like to continue hunting until the draft solution is published on Thursday. So expect a few more clues over the next few days starting with the two below. Contact the setters at SetterATH2025@gmail.com if you want more.

  • You need to listen and ignore Wifi.
  • One application of a Vigenere cipher is open to a brute force attack. The answer is two uses.

• Just one weekend of hunting left, good luck.
• Entries must be in by noon, Monday, 12th January. Send to SetterATH2025@gmail.com.
• See 6^th January, 19:02, news item below for more information about entry submissions.
• Note that there will be a prize for the best story about a team's activity during ATH2025, include with your submission.

• Time to start getting your entry ready?
• Points will be scored for finding the treasure casket, solving the Puzzle, solving the Poster and solving anything else on The 2025 Hunt website pages that seems appropriate. Include more detail rather than less.
• Entries can be in any format. Entries that are tedious to interpret, or follow, will inevitably lose points.
• Answers that are given as either/or will be dismissed, be specific.
• If you have an answer/solution that is different to the setter's then this will only score at the discretion of the setters. Setters will only exercise discretion where your answer/solution amuses/impresses them and has sufficient detail to back it up.
• A draft solution document will be published a few days after the hunt closes.
• When the results are published there will be a spreadsheet showing the points scored by each team. This is just to let you know how we marked your entry. There is no appeal mechanism, the setters' decision is final.

Also please consider giving the setters access to your workings during the hunt. This helps us to identify and fix any problems quickly.

Please note that all future announcements regarding ATH2025 will be made here. There will be no updates to PablosATH's Home page or to the X/Twitter and Facebook accounts. The setters will not be monitoring PablosATH's X/Twitter or Facebook accounts, so please do not post to them. Important announcements will be replicated on the Mailing List, be sure you are subscribed if you want to be kept informed.

For this hunt Virtual Finds will not be accepted.
