Updated with premiere date

More than likely, at least once during our lives, we've probably had the dream of finding some ancient city or some long lost treasure. Perhaps our first taste of this fantasy came from watching Indiana Jones remove that golden idol and then get chased by that monstrously huge boulder. As of recent, the trend has continued, with such puzzling adventures as The Da Vinci Code novel and the recent National Treasure movie. In both cases, audiences were swept up in the intrigue as puzzle after puzzle was solved in hopes of finding something thought lost to the world. NBC looks to tap into this sense of wonder when its new reality show "Treasure Hunters" premieres this summer.

I happened upon a site with some pretty wicked puzzles, in the form of a text adventure. The site is Biz FanTast and here's Wikipedia's description:

BizFantast follows a storyline that currently stops at level 45. You will need to sign up to the site as the site tracks your progress and a list of hall of famers. You solve each level by entering the correct answer(s). Riddles range from cryptography, maths, language to logics.

I'm on level 2 and stuck already! But I can tell the game is gonna be fun. Join me. :)
