WIKIPEDIA TREASURE HUNT
THE UPHOLSTERER’S PEARL

Ahhh so you seek The Pearl… but which one?

Rummage down the back of the internet’s sofa.

Raid the princess’s jewel collection, listen to the sea creature’s song, follow the thread carefully – one wrong turn can leave you lost.

The Wikipedia Treasure Hunt was invented by our friend Ben Sheppard. The clues are written by Sam Wong, New Scientist journalist and crossword setter.

We don’t update old hunts or check the clues still work. If this hunt is more than a few weeks old there’s a chance that an update to a Wikipedia page might derail it. If you notice any issues, email [email protected] and I’ll give you a code for a replacement hunt.
