For Americans wishing they could participate in The Great Canadian Treasure Hunt, there is a new opportunity stateside.

Brandon Allinger, COO of Prop Store and Treasure Hunter, told Fox News Digital he came across the hat Harrison Ford wore in'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' when researching a different item. A pair of video game designers created a real-life, real-time treasure hunt in the Northeast with a hefty reward for the lucky individual who finds the unique treasure. The game is called Project Skydrop, and players compete against one another to locate a 24-karat gold sculpture valued at 26,000. "This treasure hunt is a prototype, just experimenting to see if people like it, if people like the format," Project Skydrop co-creator Jason Rohrer told Boston 25 News.

We had a normal Christmas, woke up, opened presents, had dinner as always – super nice. Anyway, it got to around bedtime and me and my little brother went to brush our teeth and get ready. All of a sudden, my dad calls to us: 'Boys!? What's this?' He's shouting from our bedroom. Confused, me and my brother head in and Dad's like, 'How did you miss this? Under the bed!' We look and there's a big present all wrapped up. We were so confused, but ecstatic. We opened it and … it was a Nintendo N64.
