- Its navigation separates evidence, timelines, source directories, feeds, and field guides rather than collapsing them into clue roundups.
Field notes
The research sections give readers several ways into a hunt: evidence, timelines, source directories, feeds, and field guides. Homepage excerpts include an interview marking the second anniversary of There’s Treasure Inside and a report on a solved Pokémon box trail. Community links point to search parties, a leaderboard, and member discussions, though the extracted page does not specify which participation features require joining.
