Author and artist Bess Auer has crafted her latest project to raise money for Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida: an armchair treasure hunt. What’s that? It’s like Harry Potter meets Pokémon GO but set in the Orlando area. And you can win $3,000!

I was hooked and wanted to do something like that here in Orlando,” says Auer, a native Floridian. “But, I wanted to do more than just give away a prize; I wanted to build community by spotlighting some of my favorite local places and raise money for a worthy organization, Second Harvest Food Bank.”
