Genga’s love of games extended to treasure hunts. She had followed the story of the Fenn treasure , which was buried in the Rocky Mountains in 2010 by an art dealer and author named Forrest Fenn.

The Forrest Fenn Treasure hunt was a 10-year-long search for about a million dollars in gold and treasure hidden by an art dealer from Santa Fe, New Mexico that ended in 2020.
