A mind-bending encounter with the creators of The Great Global Treasure Hunt, plus a chance to win a luxurious mystery holiday by solving the Telegraph’s exclusive riddle.

It’s an unusual scene, to say the least. In front of a giant 21st-century computer screen showing the Earth as seen from outer space, a very medieval type of transaction is taking place.
Illuminated by the monitor’s blue-green glow, a man holding a small flame is melting a bright red stick of wax on to the back of a crumpled envelope. As the liquefied drops congeal, he presses down with an ancient-looking seal, leaving an imprint of a longbow and three arrows.
At which point, he thrusts the sealed document into the hands of a black-clad lawyer, who promptly leaves the room, for a location no one is allowed to know.
It all seems rather strange and mysterious, but there is, in fact, a rational explanation. We aren’t attending some weird pagan ritual. Rather, we have come to the London headquarters of publishers Carlton Books in order to witness the launch of an extraordinary book: namely, The Great Global Treasure Hunt.
