We made a promise. Word for word: "If you guys enjoy this and actually show up to play, we'll keep doing it — and we'll increase the cash amounts from here." It was an idea from my son, I wasn't convinced the community wanted it... Within hours, comments started coming in. People tagging their families, asking if it was real, sharing it with friends. By the time Clue 1 dropped, people were already comparing theories in our comments section. No one asked them to — they just showed up. Then came Presidents Day. It was not drizzling. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹, 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗿. Roads flooding. Wipers on full. Every reasonable person looked outside and said "we're not going anywhere today." And then our clues started dropping. Families got in their cars. In the rain. On a holiday. With their kids. Driving across town solving riddles, debating in our comments in real time, bumping into strangers at the same spots, laughing about how wrong they were about Clue 2. Someone drove 30+ minutes from outside Temecula because a friend shared it. People met new people. They had fun. They decided on their own this was worth it. In a storm. On their day off. Then the Bradys found it. Rocky and his wife solved all three clues, found the container at Birdsall Sports Park, and won $100. Then donated every dollar to Rancho Community Church before the sun went down. Because it was never about the money. It was about something in this city finally built for the people who actually live here. 163,000 of you watched us make that promise. You held up your end. Now we hold up ours. Round 2 is coming. New format. Multiple stops across the city. One winner. Bigger prize — because we said it would go up, and we meant it. If you were in the rain — this one's for you. If you watched from the couch — this is your shot. If you're new — scroll back and read the previous posts. Then decide. Follow @TopOfTemecula . Details dropping soon. 🍇
