Official Rules

GENERALLY 

Outdoor Bank has hidden a custom-made certificate worth $5,000 in a weather-proof box somewhere in the public trail system of the Manhattan, KS area (the “Prize”). Once found, Outdoor Bank will also match the prize with a $5,000 donation to the Flint Hills Bread Basket. One clue will be released each Friday afternoon in riddle form via Outdoor Bank’s Facebook, Instagram and X social media pages.


NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN.

No destruction of property or extra physical or dangerous activity will be required or necessary including but not limited to removing rocks, stones or other structures both occurring naturally or man-made, digging or excavating of any kind, climbing or rappelling, boating or submerging or accessing portions of public property that may be closed or inaccessible due to construction projects or natural phenomenon. Should any portion of publicly accessible property be changed, closed or otherwise obstructed during the Contest, participants are encouraged to notify Outdoor Bank for a determination on the resulting impact on the Contest. Access to any portion of public property is in the sole discretion and judgment of the participant subject to these Official Rules.


ELIGIBILITY

The Contest is open to legal residents of the United States, where not prohibited by law. Persons under the age of 18 are eligible to participate but will be required to have a parent or legal guardian present to claim the Prize.
