Letterboxing started off as an English hobby, but this type of scavenger hunting is becoming increasingly popular in the United States as well. One form of letterboxing, Questing, has become particularly popular in the Upper Valley. What makes it unique is that it allows the participant, by following a collection of clues, to intimately learn about the character of a community. Steven Glazer and Delia Clark are authors of the book Questing: A Guide to Creating Community Treasure Hunts, published by UPNE.
Delia Clark is co-founder and Project Director of Antioch New England Institute in Keene, New Hampshire. She is also the co-founder of Vital Communities.
Steven Glazer is coordinator of the Valley Quest program, a place-based community education program of Vital Communities in White River Junction, Vermont. He is author of The Heart of Learning (1999) and editor of Valley Quest: 89 Treasure Hunts in the Upper Valley (2001) and Valley Quest II: 75 More Treasure Hunts in the Upper Valley (2004).
