MIDDLETOWN, Del., Sept. 2, 2020,/PRNewswire/ — Gold Tickets are being hidden worldwide for you to find. Have you heard of The Candyman? Not Willy Wonka, but a real-life Candyman. David Klein is the founder of The Jelly Belly jelly beans and now Tricky Treasures. David is getting ready to retire, but not before he has some fun and not before he gives back to everyone who loves the candy industry like he does.
David and his partner have started going across the USA hiding gold style tickets in the form of necklaces in places they come across with an interesting story. Plans are to have multiple treasure hunts for these gold tickets in each state. You can join one of their treasure hunts which are launching right now at www.TheGoldTicket.com.
The biggest and best part of these treasure hunts is that anyone who joins at least one treasure hunt will be eligible to search for THE ULTIMATE TREASURE which will be the key to one of his candy factories and an all-expenses paid trip and education to a candy-making university. He will add this treasure hunt after all the states have had a chance to play. Each treasure hunt is valued at $5,000 and cost is only $49.99 to enter a hunt. Each treasure hunt has a strict limit of 1000 participants, no exceptions.
“With The Gold Ticket Treasure hunt, our goal is to get people out and about with their families. Grandma and Grandpa can even join with the kids and grandkids,” said David Klein, “The Candyman”. “Take videos of your treasure hunt experiences for possible inclusion in our upcoming series.”
