''The Secret'' presents puzzles consisting of [[verses]] and paintings. There are twelve of each, leading to twelve [[Generally Accepted Pairings|pairings]] corresponding to cities in North America. If solved, the puzzles lead the searcher to dig at a physical spot, where a unique [[casque]] can be found. Of the twelve casques, three have currently been [[Found Casques|located]]. There are also [[additional treasure hunts]], inspired by and in tribute to The Secret.

'''Please note:''' ''This is a resource for documented information.'' It is not a soapbox for individual opinions; there are several online platforms for that.
