ART DIRECTION–WORK TO INFORM AND DELIGHT
The Treasure Hunters Club is a cross-platform series that integrates gaming and fictional stories under one big story arch, the quest for the elusive Ultimate Treasure.
Kids read the adventure stories in the book in which they are asked to participate actively by solving games and riddles to move the story forward. The effort is rewarded with the number combination to unlock the treasure chest. Kids can also play a treasure hunting game online in which they can earn game-coins to buy treasures or the answer key to the book's puzzles. The original story concept was created by the very talented editor Laura Uyeda, and then brought to life by THE TEAM: Scott Ciencin, fiction writer; Francesco Francavilla, fiction illustrator; Yancey Labat, travel sticker illustrator; Jeff O'Hare game support; and Michaela Zanzani for art direction, game concept and design, research, design execution, composites, development and illustration of the treasure map.
