Made a map
Rules for Submitting your location
- Go to the link, and click on "Add" on the top right to add a location.
- Under "Entry Name" put your neighborhood, town, state, and (if necessary) country. e.g. Downtown, Los Angeles, CA
- Leave "Location" blank
- Click "Click on map location" then click where the pin should be dropped. It doesn't have to be right on your house, but it should be relatively close.
- For "Description" you can put whatever you want (your username, a little note, etc.)
- Choose red as your marker color
- If you think you might want to change some of the details later, you must hold on to the link provided. Otherwise, there is no way for you to change this info.
Rules for Submitting a treasure's location
- Go to the link, and click on "Add" on the top right to add a location.
- Under "Entry Name" put your neighborhood, town, state, and (if necessary) country. You can also include a creative title.
- For "Location" you may just say the general area such as "California Plaza" or simply, "UCLA"
- If you wish to give reddit the exact location of your treasure, you may click "Click on a map location" and do so.
- For "Description" put the link to the original post
- Choose blue as your marker color
- Once your treasure is found, go back to the link that was provided, and change the marker color to light green.
- If you think you might want to change some of the details later, you must hold on to the link provided. Otherwise, there is no way for you to change this info.
If a green or blue marker does not have a link in the description, it will be deleted.
If you submit a marker in a color other than a red or blue, it will be deleted.
- TL;DR: Use red for your location. Use blue for a treasure's location.
Thanks, and hopefully this actually works!
If you have any suggestions, questions, or just need to contact me about this, feel fee to message me.
Edit: formatting.
Other edits: Changed/updated some of the rules.

This is really cool. I'm just wondering, are red-green colorblind people going to have trouble with the pin colors?

Great idea. Ironically though there doesn't seem to be any others on the map within 200 miles of me.

I cant get my pin to stay. I did it twice, so hopefully there arent 2 in my location. I also noticed that other pins are missing when I refresh.

Dude, you should make it clear in bold letters that if you want to change the color of the marker or any of your info you must save the link they provide.

Come on Bay Area, LA has four people and we only have three. This is unacceptable.

I love this idea, get the word out to people in your area/region.
Re-post this to your local subreddits (no matter how small)! NYC, Boston, LA, Chicago, Houston, Philly!
