For the first and only issue ever made of Dodo Magazine, curious readers will have to get their hands on the map and [go on a hunt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-8) to find the hidden treasure chest before anyone else does.

With only one copy out there, this is an extremely exclusive magazine, jam-packed with intriguing information about things about how to survive a dinosaur attack, walking plant seeds, the secret of the pyramids and much more. Clearly this is a magazine for the highly adventurous, those who are willing to go on a lengthy journey, race against the clock, to find this coveted magazine.

Calling itself "the magazine that is a treehouse," Dodo Magazine's hidden treasure chest campaign sets it apart from [other print mediums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-outside-book).
