Challenge Name: A Little Hide & Seek

Alright so you’ve got an image file that looks totally normal, at first glance, but we all know, in the world of CTFs, nothing is as it first seems. Your mission this week, should you choose to accept it, is to extract a hidden treasure (the flag for this challenge)! Easy enough, but you'll have to work a little bit for it.

I've done all I can to get us this far. I can give you a map to the treasure (.jpg) and a python script you can use to hunt it down (.py), but the only way to unlock that treasure is by solving a small puzzle. Take a look at the python script and see that it's all ready to go, but it’s missing a critical piece: the secret key!

Don't Panic! This is nothing more than a little hide & seek.

DM a board member for help if you get stuck.
