Treasure Hunting Goes Hollywood
Spine-tingling
Thriller is the First Movie to Highlight New Sport
SEATTLE – September 30, 2005. -- A film studio in Washington
State has put a thrilling spin on GPS treasure hunts, a hi-tech version of
old-fashioned scavenger hunting. For
the first time in feature film history, the GPS device that fueled an
underground hobby has morphed into a movie that is sure to be a crowd
favorite and one that might make hunt enthusiasts think twice before leaving
on one of these adventures. Based on true events, the story is set amidst some of the most stunning
and frightening locations in Washington State. GPS
treasure hunting has been growing in popularity for over five years with more
than 150,000 active hunts in 200 countries. This relatively new sport has
fast become a worldwide phenomenon. GPS treasure hunting is a sport in which “hunters”
use a handheld global positioning satellite system, while combing forests, resorts, parks, even indoor locations in
search of “treasure.” GPS the Movie tells the story of a pair of scavenger hunt
enthusiasts who embark upon a camping trip with a group of old friends,
following the trail of a mysterious invitation with hopes of finding
fortune. When the trail leads them to
photographs of a masked woman tied to a chair along with a new set of
coordinates, their search takes a frightening turn. The mountains and forests
that give western Washington its reputation for natural beauty contrast with
the infamous Green River, which served for decades as a horrific dumping
ground for the notorious serial killer. Log onto www.gpsthemovie.com for more information,
