Director: Drew Garcia, Nathan Garcia
A small-town legend, a Halloween deadline, and three middle schoolers who refuse to let the mystery go unsolved — that's the setup driving Treasure Trackers, the 2024 family adventure from co-directors Drew Garcia and Nathan Garcia.
What is Treasure Trackers about?
The story follows a trio of self-described misfits who spend their free time chasing their town's oldest legend: a hidden treasure tied to local folklore that most adults have long dismissed as a tall tale. What starts as a low-stakes hobby project turns urgent once the kids stumble onto evidence that a decades-old curse, timed to Halloween, might be more than superstition. Charity Rose, Amelia Salazar, and Sean Jay lead the search, splitting up to canvas old records, abandoned buildings, and townsfolk who know more than they let on. Sam Coffelt, Kim Sandwich, Cooper Tomlinson, and Zephaniah Terry round out a supporting cast of neighbors and classmates whose reactions range from encouragement to outright warnings to stop digging. As the calendar counts down toward the holiday, the group has to decide whether solving the puzzle is worth the risk the curse seems to threaten, all while keeping the adventure fun enough for the family audience it's built for.

Context & significance
Treasure Trackers sits comfortably in the tradition of kid-led mystery adventures built around a local legend, a countdown, and a group of friends who trust each other more than the grown-ups around them. Its Halloween framing gives the treasure hunt a seasonal hook without tipping into anything darker than a family audience would expect, and the small-town setting keeps the stakes personal rather than sprawling.
