Epic Fantasy
The Wardens of Taneycomo
Branson, Missouri
For centuries, the mist rising off Lake Taneycomo has hidden more than just cold water. My family, the Valerius line, has served as the silent keepers of the Amulet of Taneycomo, a relic that maintains the barrier between our world and the elemental wild. But last night, the warding stones began to hum with a discordant vibration, and a figure known only as the Flickering Shadow was seen prowling the boardwalk, leaving trails of frost in its wake. The balance has shifted, and the ancient spirits are restless.
My grandfather, Silas Valerius, spent his final days obsessing over a prophecy that spoke of a 'great convergence' at the water's edge. He vanished years ago, leaving behind nothing but a silver compass and a series of cryptic entries in his ledger. As the sky turns a bruised purple and the air grows unnaturally still, I fear the Shadow is searching for the Amulet to tear the veil open permanently. Is Silas truly gone, or did he find a way to step through the gate he was sworn to protect? The fate of the town rests on finding the Amulet before the Shadow consumes the local ley lines.
The silver compass in my palm is twitching toward the north, its needle vibrating against the cracked glass. I can feel the weight of my heritage pressing down like the Ozark hills themselves. To ignore the call is to let the darkness drown the light of the landing. The hunt for the truth—and the survival of the veil—starts now.

From first-time questers to weekend regulars — here's what folks have to say after a day spent following the clues.
★★★★★
“We did this one with my 13 yr old son and 18 yr old son who was in from college for the weekend and had a blast. The youngest had the most fun when he was able to take the phone and lead us around the park to find each of the clues. We love to get out and hunt for geocaches and this was a great way to stay outside and mix things up a bit. The whole thing is well put together and well thought out. Thank you to whomever took the time to put this together; we're looking forward to participating in many more.”

“I’ve always been intrigued by “treasure hunts” and have always wanted to participate. I actually did my first quest last night and it was all that I had thought plus more. The clues were awesome and the storyline was fantastic. If you do get stuck, I love the hint option. I highly recommended this. You can do it solo or with a group! ”
