Is this Ireland’s most obscure tradition?

[@kingnidoking1826]

the beginning of the video has mad Blair Witch vibes

[@Clisare]

I have a mad idea to do another car treasure hunt and live stream it so you can help solve the clues etc... what do you think?! LIKE the video if you like this idea!

You did a great job hopping those fences! There is no car treasure/scavenger hunts in America, that I know of! Way to go, Mayo!! Mayo is the best!

[@maureenpeck6266]

Actually there are in the states. They're called road rallies. Plenty of them over the summer in upstate NY and one next weekend on long island

[@Jay-ql4gp]

That was fun! It reminds me of similar things we've done here in America called a Wonder Run. Because each year was different and you didn't get your next destination until you completed the current one. And in a Wonder Run, you go to each stop and play a game like naming each color that's written on a sheet of paper in another color. Like the word Blue but it's written with Green marker for example. And green was the answer.

[@APaganPerspective]

Your adventures are so cool Claire..looking to the next

Oh does that bring back memories! When I was a young lad, my church youth group would have these. They weren’t formal, but they were well thought out and set up to take us all around the countryside. Haven’t thought of them in many years!

[@Shadowace724]

So much fun! I did a hunt like that in college. We were up partying up all night. At 7am the hunt started and we took fourth place! Love your videos!

[@georginawatson9057]

How many groups where in the hunt? If you don't mind me asking

[@Shadowace724]

It was 30+ years ago, but around twenty I think.@@georginawatson9057

In Australia we call them a mystery car rally. Haven't done one for years

[@MayoNorthTourismIreland]

Love it Clare! It gets sooooo competitive!! Thanks so much for showcasing some of our unique and quirky festivals and events. Can't wait to see more. ❤

I adore this channel - it's the most charming channel on the internet - and you, Clisare, the most charming host! I wish I had heard of car treasure hunts, I would certainly go!

[@Batanuhtanah]

Clisare makes me want to check out Ireland

[@brokencarpenter]

We call that a "scavenger hunt" in the States, this is a great vid Clisare.

[@georginawatson9057]

In the UK we call them both names it just depends on of the person organising it wants to call it a scavenger hunt or a treasure hunt. Usually it's the properly organised and bigger events that get called scavenger hunts and the smaller or one off ones usually get called a treasure hunt ohh and 99% of the time if it's for kids they call it a treasure hunt probably because that sounds more fun than a scavenger hunt to kids if you get what I mean

[@GenXfrom75]

I was part of a thing called GISH for 6 years. We'd find things but mostly create things. It stood for Greatest International Scavenger Hunt. . . Shortened from GISHWHES (greatest international scavenger hunt the world has ever seen)! It was SO MUCH FUN! One week every August 🎉❤

[@Azashlol]

We have a basically identical annual event here in Lahti, Finland as well. Looked like a ton of fun for you guys!

We have nothing so grand or well organized, but we have similar activities called scavenger hunts. My friend CC and I actually organized one for our work friends back in the '80's.

[@iainmelville9411]

[@dtreski03]

This is amazing! I’ve only learned of these recently. It’s so great!

[@sandcatlynn]

This looks like great fun! We do scavenger hunts but usually on foot.

[@TheCraftyCailleach]

Loved this video and also the idea of a car treasure hunt! I don't remember having those growing up in Waterford so it might be a unique to Mayo thing

[@sp1108]

I've done one of these. I live in rural Ontario, Canada. In a county that was originally settled by Scottish and Irish settlers.

[@DublinBloodUSA]

Love ya ❤❤❤❤ my all time favorite ❤❤❤❤

[@terenzo50]

Would love to see your journalistic superpowers let loose on the history of the Auto Treasure Hunt. Is it peculiar to Mayo alone or do other counties participate? I've seen something similar portrayed in movies, but haven't a clue about anyone doing it for real anywhere. In the early days of the automobile, it was rally racing -- my father, as a young journalist, participated in the Paris-Monte Carlo rally back in the late 1920s. BTW, congratulations on winning some of the petrol money back. And that may be a clue to why this is a rare thing: back when gas was pennies a gallon, we drove all over like mad -- then the oil crisis hit in the mid-70s and everything changed. And it's only gotten worse since. Looked like great fun! Hi to Millie!

[@kellinomnom]

Car treasure hunts are amazing fun!

[@kmcgowan725]

Omg this looks so fun. When I come back to Ireland I’m doing this!

[@cheekybella123]

I did a car treasure hunt once with my family. It was for some friends of ours to lead all their friends around our town, to their new house for a bbq and pool party.

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thanks.

[@leisydern]

We did this during lockdown when everyone was finally allowed to go out driving! It was the best fun we'd had in such a long time, even though I didn't have a clue what was going on for most of it (I'm not from around here, and it was heavily centered around knowledge and history of the Parish). Luckily I was with ones who did know what was happening. 10/10 would definitely do again in a heartbeat!

[@Philhellene1]

I used to take part in car treasurehunts here in West Cornwall in the 1980s. Don't know that it happens anymore,

[@ramonashearer7241]

Here in the USA, people with motorcycles do Poker Runs. They go to 5 different places, and collect a card. At the end, whoever has the beast poker hands wins the pot. I have seen where they raise money for different needs with the entry fees. I would love to do one like you did.

[@jenniefowler4968]

Car treasure hunt sounds fun. Every summer my county library does a summer reading program and part of it is a scavenger hunt. You get clues or questions to figure out but we have two months to get the answers. That's thosest thing we have in Ohio.(USA)

[@williamdixon595]

USA, Pennsylvania. Never been in one, but have heard of them. Poker runs are much more common around here.

Congrats to the Three Blind Mice! If an answer did not get any points, did the organizers tell you the answer, or did you find out from the others contestants? That way you can see how the riddle and the answer came to be. That MIGHT help you for the next time on how these riddles are formulated. WELL DONE, you three!!!! BRAVO!!!! I love this video!!! 😍

[@Clisare]

They did go through all the answers but I can’t remember what the answer was! 😂

[@tomheinrichs7058]

I’ve done something similar. Usually involves a Mexican Fire drill. (Which is where car stops at stop light. Everyone gets out of car. Gets back in car different door. Usually four door vehicle) I’ve also done a bus road trip. Which involved stopping at six different Legions. Ending with a Barbecue Chicken dinner at last Legion. I am confused about one thing however. You said go home…. I thought the name of your home county was Clisair?

[@Clisare]

… Are you joking? I can’t tell 😂 My home county is Mayo and I’m named after county Clare. Clisare isn’t my real name, it’s a nickname. Clare is my real name. Does that clear it up? 😅😅

[@tomheinrichs7058]

@@Clisare No I wasn’t joking. Nor am I joking now. I made the assumption that you were from Clare County. Not simply named after it. I also may have made the incorrect assumption. That since Clisare is Clare in Irish. That Clare County is Clisare County in Irish. I was trying to be respectful. I think it turned out disrespectful. For that I apologize.

Never been to Ireland even though my father was born there , he was born in the town of Tipperary which is also the county Tipperary , you obviously know that , do you ever intend to do a video of that area ? Would be nice to see that town, if you are planning it in the future could you let me know ? Thanks and may your god be good to you.
