The Golden Shark Tooth Hunt is an 8-week, in-person treasure hunt open to the entire Destin community. Participation is free, fun, and designed to celebrate Destin while supporting Destin High School.

Follow these steps to join the hunt:

🦈 Step 1: Follow the Hunt

Each week, Destin High School will announce which restaurant is hosting that week’s clue through:

• Destin High School website
   
• Facebook & Instagram
   
• ParentSquare
   
• Community partner pages
   

📌 Clues are NOT posted online. They must be discovered in person.

🍴 Step 2: Visit the Featured Restaurant

During that week, visit the featured restaurant sponsor to locate the clue.

• Clues are displayed in a public, clearly marked area
   
• No purchase is required to view the clue
   
• Participants may take photos or notes for PERSONAL use
   

🧩 Step 3: Solve the Clue

Each clue is:

• Cryptic and challenging
   
• Tied to Destin’s history, landmarks, or culture
   
• Designed to build on previous clues

*Solving the hunt may require research, local knowledge, and teamwork.

📅 Step 4: Repeat Each Week

A new clue is released once per week for 8 weeks, each hosted by a different restaurant.

To stay competitive:

• Visit each weekly location
   
• Track and save all clues
   
• Work toward the final solution
   

Missing a week may make the final location harder to determine.

🗺️ Step 5: Find the Golden Shark Tooth

After all 8 clues are released and solved, participants can determine the final location of the Golden Shark Tooth.

The Shark Tooth will be hidden:

• In a safe, publicly accessible location
• With no trespassing or unsafe behavior required
• If the Golden Shark Tooth is discovered before all 8 clues are released, the game ends.
   

🏆 Step 6: Claim the Prize

The first person to find the Golden Shark Tooth must:

1. Secure the Shark Tooth
    
2. Take a photo at the discovery location
    
3. Contact the Destin High School POC immediately  
   1. Ms. Allison Frankfurt
      Tide Leader Parent, Destin High School
