'The Secret'
> In 1982, Byron Preiss published The Secret, a puzzle book that combined 12 short verses and 12 elaborate fantasy paintings by John Jude Palencar. Readers were expected to pair each painting with a verse in a way that would provide clues to finding one of 12 plexiglass boxes buried in various parks around North America. Each box contained a ceramic key that could be redeemed for a jewel worth $1,000. The book was inspired by the success of Masquerade, written and illustrated by Kit Williams and published in England in August 1979, but The Secret never led to the same level of treasure hunting frenzy.

As of now, only 3 out of 12 treasures have been found. The most recent was discovered in October, 2019. The others were found in Chicago in 1983, and Cleveland in 2004.
You can read more about the hunt in this Vice article.
The 12 Treasures Podcast site has the verses and paintings (puzzles), and a podcast all about the treasure hunt. I haven't personally listened to it, but it seems to be a quality resource.

I remember it being about an hour long at the very most. I would equate it to being a film in the same vein as Olive the other reigndeer or Scary God Mother. A badly animated straight to TV movie of the early 2000s/late 90s. As for the plot it was something super stereotypical. I think a group of 3 (?) aliens came to earth and crash landed. I specifically remember them landing in an ice cream freezer for some reason, like the kind you see in a gas station. I remember a young boy finds them somehow and I THINK he tries to get them back home. The MOST vivid scene is the jack rock scene where the aliens use jacks to pop someone’s tires.
