How Treasure Square Works

Pick a location on the map and start revealing grid squares instantly — each one you open might contain cash, a clue, site credit, a free reveal, or a hidden Treasure Square coin itself. The hunter who uncovers the top Treasure Square wins the full reward pot. Some locations use a simple pay-per-square model; others offer an access pass that gives you a daily allowance of reveals. You can also visit in person to find hidden Treasure Square coins that reveal squares for free. If you can find it from our clues and videos.

Instant Treasure is a separate game mode where you buy a ticket and find out straight away whether you've won a prize. Prizes range from site credit and free square unlocks through to cash rewards. Every ticket is settled the moment you reveal it.

Tap any unrevealed square on the map to open it. Depending on the location, you either pay per square or use an access pass that covers a daily allowance of reveals. You can also spend site credit from your wallet — including the monthly credit that comes with a subscription — on any square.

Absolutely. Revealing squares, playing Instant Treasure, and watching clue videos all happen online — you can hunt from your sofa. Visiting the location in person is optional but adds the fun of finding hidden Treasure Square coins hidden in the real world.

Scan the QR code on the coin and enter the unique code on our site to reveal and claim your reward. Each coin can only be redeemed once, so claim yours as soon as you find it.

Yes. The reward pot at each map location is real money, funded by a portion of paid square reveals (and access pass sales where applicable). Whoever uncovers the top treasure square claims the pot. Instant Treasure tickets also pay out cash prizes — you know immediately if you've won.

Yes — there are two types of winning square. An ⚡ Instant Win credits your prize (cash, site credit, free reveals, etc.) to your wallet the moment you open the square — no further action needed. A 🪙 Hidden Treasure means a physical coin or card is hidden at that real-world location — you need to go there, find it, and scan to claim the prize. The main jackpot (the reward pot) goes to whoever finds the top treasure square.

A portion of every paid square reveal goes directly into the pot for that location when applicable. On access-pass locations, a share of each pass sale also contributes. Plays using wallet credit, subscription squares, or free daily reveals don't add to the pot.

When you buy an Instant Treasure ticket a prize is assigned to it the moment of purchase. Reveal your ticket to see if you've won site credit, free squares, a cash prize, or another reward. Every ticket is settled immediately. Every ticket also enters you into the main prize draw which gets automatically picked when the time runs out.

It depends on the prize type. ⚡ Instant Wins (cash, site credit, bonus rewards) land in your wallet automatically the moment your square is revealed — nothing to do. 🪙 Hidden Treasure prizes require you to visit the real-world location, find the physical coin or card, and scan it to claim. If you win the main jackpot pot, we'll contact you via the email on your account to arrange payment.

Every plan includes monthly site credit you can spend on grid reveals or Instant Treasure tickets, plus early access to subscriber-only clue videos before they go public on social media. Higher tiers add free square unlocks each month. Subscribers also get exclusive deals and offers that non-subscribers never see.

Site credit is in-app currency you can use to reveal squares on the map or buy Instant Treasure tickets. It's not cash and cannot be withdrawn. Subscription credit expires 30 days after it's issued, so spend it before it resets each billing cycle.

No. Subscribers get time savings (early clue video access), convenience (monthly credit and free square unlocks), and exclusive perks — but they don't get more chances to win the jackpot than free players. Every square on the map has an equal shot at containing the treasure.

Subscribers receive early access to clue and reveal videos before they appear on social media, subscriber-only discount codes, bonus site credit promotions, and first-look access to new hunt locations. Higher-tier subscribers get more free squares every month to play with.
