Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: Upon Ticket Purchase

By purchasing a ticket from Medallion Mission LLC (hereafter referred to as " Medallion Mission") and participating in Medallion Mission’s Event (hereafter referred to as "the Event"), you ("the Participant") agree to the following terms and conditions. Please read these terms carefully, as they contain important information regarding your legal rights, limitations of liability, and obligations.

  1. Acceptance of Terms
    By purchasing a ticket, you agree to abide by these Terms and Conditions and any additional rules or instructions provided for the Event. These Terms constitute a binding agreement between you and Medallion Mission.

  2. Nature of Participation
    Participation in the Event involves solving riddles, following clues, and locating the physical medallion. Some riddles can be solved without visiting the downtown Knoxville area, while others require participants to solve them onsite. The medallion can be found without any digging, excavation, or disturbance to the environment or public/private property. All riddles and clues are designed to be solved from publicly accessible areas only. 

  3. Eligibility
    To maintain the integrity of the Event, close friends, family members, donors, and anyone with privileged access to information about the Event or its design are not permitted to participate and are ineligible to receive the reward. This includes immediate family members, household members, and any individuals with a close personal relationship to the business owners and operators of the Event.

  4. Event Success
    The search for the medallion depends solely on the Participant’s ability to interpret and solve the riddles and clues, which require problem-solving, analytical thinking, and persistence.

  5. Obeying Laws and Regulations
    Participants must obey all local laws, including traffic and pedestrian laws, while participating in the Event. Any violations, fines, personal injury, or incidents arising from noncompliance are solely the responsibility of the Participant. Medallion Mystery assumes no liability for such actions.

  6. Reward
    The finder(s) of the medallion will receive the reward. Upon discovery, the finder(s) must demonstrate their process by explaining how each riddle was solved. This verification ensures the integrity of the event, preventing accidental discovery by non-participants. Once verified, the reward will be given to the finder(s). The finder(s) who receive the reward are responsible for any tax obligations. There is a possibility that the medallion might be inadvertently discovered during the event by someone who is not participating. If you are confident that you have located what should be the medallion's resting place, send us a picture of the exact location. If you are correct and can walk us through how you solved each riddle, you will receive the reward. In this event, the event will be over, and no further reward will be given if the medallion is brought forward at a later date.

  7. Ticket Sale Allocation
    The reward to the finder(s), is 25% of what is collected through ticket sales and any donations from our donors. 60% of the revenue from ticket sales will go to the family of Hudson Roberts, who is this year’s sponsored child. The remaining 15% will be used to cover the expenses, advertising, and compensation to the owners of Medallion Mission for the creation and organization of the Event.

  8. Assumption of Risk
    By participating, you acknowledge that activities involved in the Event may carry inherent risks, including personal injury or other hazards. You assume full responsibility for any risks or losses associated with your participation.

  9. Release of Liability
    To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to release, waive, and discharge Medallion Mission, its owners, operators, and any other affiliated entities from any and all claims, demands, damages, rights, and causes of action of any kind, whether arising in law or equity, that may arise from or relate to your participation in the Event. This includes any claims arising from negligence, breach of contract, or otherwise.

  10. Indemnification
    You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Medallion Mission, its owners, operators, and affiliates from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including attorney's fees) arising from your participation, including any act, omission, or conduct that may harm other participants or property.

  11. No Warranty
    Medallion Mission makes no warranty or representation, express or implied, regarding the suitability, safety, accuracy, or reliability of the Event, riddles, or clues. The Event is provided "as is," without any guarantee of success for any participant in locating the medallion.

  12. No Refund Policy
    All sales are final. No refunds will be issued, except as required by applicable law. Your purchase of a ticket constitutes acceptance of this no-refund policy.

  13. Modification or Cancellation
    Medallion Mission reserves the right to modify, suspend, or cancel the Event for any reason, including but not limited to safety concerns, or unforeseen circumstances. In the event of cancellation, Medallion Mission will refund the price of ticket purchase.

  14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
    These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the state of Tennessee, specifically Knox County. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Event shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the United States, Tennessee, and Knox County.
