A trail of clues awaits in

Tipton

In the bustling town of Tipton, there once lived a legendary boxer named William Perry. From 1850 to 1857, he reigned supreme in the ring, earning the adoration of the community. But in his last fight, everything changed. Perry allegedly bet all of his wealth and lost, leaving him ruined. Or did he?

Local historians have uncovered a newspaper cutting and an old map in the archives, revealing that Perry may have secretly stashed away some of his wealth in Tipton. The map contains clues to the location of this hidden treasure, and it's up to the TOP Explorers to crack the code and retrieve the fortune.
