Middleton Rocks
is LIVE! A neighborhood treasure hunt where you paint rocks, hide them around Middleton, and track their journey as neighbors find them.
How it works:
1. Paint
a rock with any design you like -- get creative with colors, patterns, or inspirational messages. Use acrylic paint and seal it with clear coat so it survives the Florida weather.
2. Register
your rock at hellomiddleton.com/rocks to get an official MR-ID number. Write the ID and the URL on the back of your rock so finders know where to log it.
3. Hide
it somewhere fun in the neighborhood -- park benches, trail markers, playgrounds, near the town squares. Anywhere public and safe where someone might stumble upon it.
4. Find
a rock? Log your find on the site with a photo, and choose to re-hide it for the next person or keep it for yourself. Either way, you earn points!
Every rock gets its own journey page
with a QR code, a timeline showing everywhere it has been, and a photo gallery of every finder. Watch your painted rock travel across Middleton!
Earn points and badges:
-- Paint and register a rock: +10 points
-- Find a rock: +5 points
-- Re-hide a rock: +3 points
-- Upload a photo with your find: +2 bonus
-- First person to find any rock: +5 bonus
-- Find the rare Golden Rock: +50 points!
Climb the leaderboard
, collect badges like Rock Steady, Pathfinder, and Rock Legend, and build your Hello Middleton trust score while having fun outdoors with the whole family.
Ready to play?
-- Start hunting at hellomiddleton.com/rocks
-- Follow Middleton Rocks on Facebook for hints, photos, and inspiration
-- Already painted a rock? Register it now and watch it travel!
