Breakout Games, an escape room business in Greenville, told 7 News on Monday that they’re hosting the scavenger hunt as part of a business promotion.

According to General Manager Caleb McKisic, anyone can hop in and start looking.

“We don’t want this to be something that’s just sitting in the middle of the sidewalk, we want it to be something you actually have to search for.”

Starting at 5pm, Breakout Games will start posting geographical coordinates, latitude and longitude, of 20 $100-dollar bills online.

McKisic explained that 3 coordinate locations will be released every 30 minutes.

Breakout Game employees are also scheduled to secretly watch the area’s where money is hidden to make sure everything goes smoothly.

“This is a fun experience and we’re excited to see what kind of turnout we get, and we hope it’ll be as fun as we anticipate.”

Anyone interested in participating in the scavenger hunt can text “greenvillehunt” to the number “31996.” Coordinates will then be texted to your cell phone.
