Discover the treasure by figuring out what secret visual clues the other players are holding!
What's the idea?
Everyone receives a unique clue in the form of a drawing. For example: “The treasure is next to a palm tree”.
When you know all the clues, they point to exactly one tile on the map: the treasure!
But you can’t just share your clues: you can only ask the players questions in mysterious ways …
This game is a spin-off of Pirate Riddlebeard. It was designed to be language independent (all clues are visual) and use simpler maps and clues. A more kid/family friendly version of the same idea!
What do I need?
Three steps.
- Read the rules. (Click the “Download” button.)
- Grab some pens and papers.
- Start the game on your phone and play!
Reusable version? You can also download a material sheet once and reuse that for all your games!
Phone? You only need a device (and internet) to generate the setup. Once that’s done, you can put it away.
Offline version? There’s a folder called “Generated Games”. Pick one, print it, cut the hints into cards, and you can play completely offline at some later point in time.

How does this game work? A smart algorithm! It creates a random map and tries to find a set of hints that lead to exactly one tile. I created the original algorithm for Pirate Riddlebeard. Then I refined it and switched to images (instead of text hints) for this game.
