Amador County – The Fourth Annual 49er Treasure Trail, set for March 24-25, is designed to experience adventures, conquer challenges, earn points and win prizes.

“The 49er Treasure Trail is an interactive adventure of epic proportions,” said Maurine Funk, executive director of the Amador Council of Tourism. The game allows playing teams to navigate historic Amador County by experiencing adventures and conquering challenges, which are all worth points.

Players “win cool stuff by having the most points, unique costumes, most fun team, slowest to finish, traveled the furthest, and more,” she said. Prizes include tickets for unique local events, hotel rooms, meals, merchandise, and more from local merchants. This event is great for all ages.

Participants can play the whole weekend, one day, or just a few hours. New this year are evening game hours called After Dark: 4-8 p.m. Friday, March 23 and 5-8 p.m. Saturday, March 24.

Funk, spearheading the game for the fourth year, said: “We wanted to allow more time to enjoy Amador’s night time destinations and keep the laughter going into the evening.” She said: “Our restaurants really embrace the game and make it fun for 49er Treasure Trail players.”

Registration is now open at TourAmador.com or call (877) 868-7262 for information.
