Treasure Hunt is an adventure puzzle game where you navigate a series of hand-crafted levels, each containing a hidden treasure chest locked behind a set of environmental clues. Each level presents a themed scene — a shipwreck beach, a jungle ruin, an underground vault, a haunted mansion — and scatters between three and seven interactive clues across the scene. Solving each clue in the correct sequence unlocks a code digit; enter all digits correctly to open the chest and complete the level.
Clues take several forms: physical puzzles (rotate dials, arrange coloured stones), logic deductions (read a cipher inscription and work out the translation), observation challenges (count specific objects hidden in the scene background), and hidden-object hunts (locate a key item concealed in cluttered scenery). Some clues are independent and can be solved in any order; others form dependency chains where Clue B cannot be solved without the answer from Clue A. The game marks unsolved dependencies with a padlock icon so you know what to tackle first.
Each level has a star rating from one to three based on time-to-completion. Three-star ratings require finishing under two minutes, which demands knowing the clue dependency order and avoiding hint use. Hints cost one hint token each; you start with three tokens and earn additional tokens by completing bonus challenge clues hidden in the scene — usually off the main critical path. The game works seamlessly on mobile: all interactive elements are touch-optimised and scale correctly on screens from 375px to 1440px wide.
Spend the first 15 seconds panning across the entire background. Hidden objects and dependency clues are often in corners or behind foreground elements. A mental map of all visible interactables saves time backtracking.
Count-based and cipher clues can usually be done in parallel with other thinking. Solving them first gives you digits early and reduces uncertainty about the code combination, which focuses your remaining clue-solving.
Using a hint on a standalone clue you could figure out wastes a token. Save tokens for dependency chains where a blocked clue stalls your entire progress — those are the moments where a hint saves the most total time.
