The Deceitful Map

Write about a treasure hunt where the map guiding the explorers is deceptive, leading them away from the actual treasure.

The suspense in this prompt arises from the ever-deepening mystery and constant redirection. It might be that a nemesis has manipulated the map or the map itself was designed to mislead. It’s fascinating to probe how the characters react when they discover the deceit, their process to unmask the real route, and how it affects their trust in each other or their resolve.
