Masquerade: The Scandalous 80s Treasure Hunt

Will is joined by Meg and Jessica from Desperately Seeking the 80s. Will shares the unlikely, but true, story of Masquerade, the book that changed gaming.

In 1979, a seemingly innocuous picture book actually concealed clues to the location of a golden prize. Once the secret was out, it inspired a real-life treasure hunt, a decade-long scandal, and a genre of video games that followed.
