This GPS Hunt Project is very interesting, the box is electronically locked and the only way to open it (without using the emergency backdoor) is to go to a certain location. It gives lets you know how far from the target location you are each time the button is pressed but you only have 50 presses to figure it out.

Thanks for the tip Jim.

I really like this. I hope what’s inside the box is as good as the box itself or someone might feel a little disappointed.
