National Book Store is transforming the hunt for your next read into an epic adventure.
Welcome to The National Hunt, a nationwide search where prizes are hidden inside books and on bookshelves, waiting for lucky readers to find them.

The book hunt isn’t your average game. Leading the charge is the all-new National Book Squad, a dream team of your favorite Gen Z celebrities: Mika Salamanca, Josh Ford, Kira Balinger, Esnyr Ranollo, Will Ashley, and Ralph de Leon. Together, they’re dropping clues across National Book Store branches and hiding special books for you to discover.
Your mission is simple: head to any participating National Book Store and keep an eye out for the exclusive books the National Book Squad has hidden. If you’re lucky enough to find one, purchase it—you might walk away with an incredible prize. Prizes include an Apple iPad, flight vouchers, a DJI Osmo 3, and so much more.
