Carve your own signature stamp, you can aquire pink rubber and a carving tool at most art stores. Alternatively you can use a pink eraser and x-acto. Please be careful when cutting. You can also use a pre-bought stamp but to be honest it’s not as fun IMO.

Look up your nearest letterboxes. For best odds check the last found date and planted date. The most recent ones have better odds of being found.

Follow the clues to the letterbox you’ve set out to find, once found you should find a journal and a stamp. Stamp your journal with their stamp, and stamp their journal with yours, don’t forget to sign and date. Place everything as it was found

Gloves- I don’t like bugs and sometimes you’re in the city where questionable happenings are going on. If i have to move something questionable to get to the box I might slip on the glove. Be discrete this might look suspicious. I don’t want the cops being called on you for putting on a glove and creeping around the middle of central park LOL.

A retractable stick- Think walking stick or a selfie stick or find a branch to safely poke around. Last week i found myself out in a Nature park and was having to look under ferns and brush. Black widows and wolf spiders are commonly found in said areas so I always use my stick to lift up brush before shoving my hand in.

Extra Baggies and Journals- As a good fellow letterboxer it is our solemn duty to repair any letterboxes we find that might have become damaged with the weather *if we can. This only includes putting journals in plastic bags if the original bags are damaged or adding in a new journal if the last one is full. Do not remove anything without permission of the Planter, if more extensive damage has been done to the letterbox please log it on Atlas Quest under the letterbox post or message the Planter so they can resolve the issue.

My stamp, an ink pad, a pen, my journal, water and a snack along with the directions to the letterboxes.

The OG: traditional sits in one location. Placed in a ziplock, tupperwear, or box.

The Hitchhiker: Moves from one location to another. When found the letterbox should be removed and placed in the next letterbox location they go to.

The Cootie: Is planted on a person. A tiny letterbox planted on people typically in an Altoid tin or film cannister, signatures are using fingerprints.

The Flea: Bounces around locations and people. Essentially a cootie but that can be found at a location or on a person.

All letterboxes can be found on AtlasQuest, this includes mine. However if you would like a consolidated list of just mine click here to download.Have more questions? Reach out or check out Atlas Quest extensive Q and A section here.
