Treasure Chest
Description
You and your friends have completed a treasure map and have discovered this tempting Treasure Chest!
Treasure Chests are given as rewards after a team has collected all of the Treasure Map Clues from a Treasure Map. There are two categories of Treasure Chests, Common and Rare. Common chests are awarded when Common maps are completed, and Rare chests are awarded when Rare maps are completed. There are 5 different chests for both Common and Rare.
The hunter that opened the map can add up to four other hunters to the map team. When an additional hunter is added to the map hunt team, this message is displayed for the new member:
- You're now following a Treasure Map! Hunt down all the mice to find the Treasure Chest!
The new member also has this event added to their Hunter's Journal:
- I have joined in on a treasure hunt! I should help catch the mice required to find the treasure chest!
While on a team, the heads-up-display includes a count of how many clue mice remain to be caught; clicking on that link gives a pop-up that includes a thumbnail of each mouse, and which team members have already claimed clues. The pop-up also includes a button where any hunter on the team can click to apply Rare Map Dust (it does not have to be the person that started the map).
- Rare Treasure Maps reward everyone that helped with upgraded treasure chests containing:
- - Two times the points!
- - Two times the gold!
- - Two times the Ancient Charms!
- - More loot!
- - And twice the chance of super-rare loot!
- An upgraded map doubles the rewards for each hunter!
- It will not change the difficulty of the map, nor will it modify the mice required.
The pop-up also has a button to Discard the map for the original owner (no recovery possible), or to Leave the map for the four additional hunters. If an additional hunter leaves, the mice they caught are still tracked for the remaining team members (no progress is lost). The leaving hunter has this message displayed in their Journal:
- I left the treasure hunt. I should hunt and catch a Relic Hunter to find a new Treasure Map!
It is possible to rejoin a map team as many times as desired, right up until the last clue is found, but a hunter must be on the team when the last clue is collected in order to receive the treasure chest. When the last clue is collected, all team members receive the following message in their Hunter's Journal:
- I successfully completed a XXX Treasure Map! Everyone who helped has been rewarded with one XXX Treasure Chest each!
- I should claim my Treasure Chest reward now!
Clicking on the claim link allows the hunter the option of sharing the news via Facebook, and rewards a Luck Charm to the first three friends that follow that post.

History and Trivia
- Treasure Chests were introduced along with the Relic Mouse on 29 August 2012.
- On 10 September 2012, the type and quantity of loot found in chests was adjusted, so that easy chests gave less loot while arduous chests gave more, to even out the rewards based on the typical amount of time needed to complete harder chests.
- On 17 October 2012, the first event chest, the Halloween Treasure Chest, was released.
- On 11 April 2013, all hunters were awarded a Rare Arduous Treasure Chest to make up for the fact that unplanned server downtime lost the progress of everyone's Treasure Map.
