Treasure Hunt

Read the map, dig in the right spot, find the gold

Every round hides a treasure somewhere on a map of a real place. Spend your gold wisely on digs and hints, and find the treasure before your purse runs dry.

How It Works

  1. Study the map

    You start with 25,000 gold and a map of a real place on Earth. Coasts, rivers, mountains, and towns are your clues.

  2. Dig or buy a hint

    Every dig costs 5,000 gold. Hints narrow the area down, but they cost a fee and take a cut of the reward.

  3. Find the treasure

    A treasure pays out up to 20,000 gold. 5 maps make a game, and the gold you keep is your score.

Hints with a price

Press Release, Town Rumors, Local Guide, and Map Pin. The more precise the hint, the higher its fee and the bigger its cut of the treasure.

Places of every kind

Hunt in remote wilderness, in cities and towns, or along the coast, or keep the treasures on one continent or in one country.

Hunt with friends

Search alone, team up with friends in co-op, or race each other for the gold in PvP.

Learn to read maps

Every map is a real place. The more you play, the better you get at reading terrain, roads, and settlements.

More Ways to Play

Image Location

The classic. Study a real photograph, spot the clues, and drop a pin where you think it was taken. The closer you get, the more points you score.

Price Guesser

See a real item that is for sale online and guess what it costs, in your own country and currency. The closer your guess, the more points you score.

FAQ

How does Treasure Hunt work?

Every round shows a map of a real place with a treasure hidden somewhere on it. You dig where you think it is buried. Each dig searches the area around it and costs gold, so every spot counts.

How is the score calculated?

You start with 25,000 gold. Digs and hints cost gold, and every treasure you find pays 20,000 gold minus the cut of the hints you bought. The gold you end the game with is your score.

What happens when I run out of gold?

Once you can not pay for another dig, you can not find any more treasures in that game. Keep at least 5,000 gold if you want to keep digging.

What are the treasure maps?

Every map shows a real place on Earth, drawn from open map and elevation data: coastlines, rivers, roads, forests, and towns. Some maps cover a remote valley, others a city or a stretch of coast. You read the terrain like an explorer and decide where the treasure is most likely buried.

Can I hunt for treasure with friends?

Yes. Open a party and invite your friends. Team up in co-op and plan your digs together, or race each other for the gold in PvP. You can also challenge someone to the exact same maps and see who keeps more gold.

What makes Treasure Hunt different?

It is part geography game and part strategy game. Reading the map is only half of it, the other half is deciding when to dig and when to buy a hint. A cheap guess can pay off, a careless one can leave you broke before the last map.

Why is it fun?

Every dig is a small gamble, and the moment you hit the gold is a real treat. Each map is a new place to explore, and with friends every decision turns into a plan, a bet, or a race.

Can I play without an account?

Yes. Try a free treasure hunt with no account. With a free account you can play as much as you like and hunt together with friends.
