Treasure Hunters is a reality television series on NBC (US) and Global Television (Canada) in which ten teams of three solve puzzles in hopes of solving the ultimate puzzle and winning the grand prize. Teams travel across the United States and around the world in search of seven "artifacts" which when assembled will "lead to the key. Find the key, and find the treasure." The treasure's value was revealed on the season finale to be $3,000,000.

The two-hour premiere episode aired on June 18, 2006 and beginning June 26 the series moved to its regular Monday night timeslot. The season finale was broadcast live on August 21, 2006.

The Hunt is similar in format to The Amazing Race. Key differences include:

* Teams consist of three members as opposed to The Amazing Race's usual two
* The start location of each leg is not necessarily the end point of the previous leg
* Teams start each leg at the same time; Amazing Race teams have staggered starts based on previous leg finish order
* Amazing Race teams may take no electronic devices with them; Treasure Hunters teams are provided several pieces of electronic equipment, including:
o a Motorola RAZR cell phone, by which they receive messages and information from host Laird Macintosh;
o additional phones they may use to call other teams and each other;
o a laptop computer with "special access" to Ask.com and Orbitz.com;
o a Garmin GPSMAP 60C GPS unit
