This version addresses bugs and minor fixes. When the first version of this game launched on August 25, 2019, it had timed-released journal pages over 7-days. Once the 7th journal page was released, players had the chance to be the first to locate the final hidden treasure for a chance to win the $1000 cash prize. That prize was found shortly after the 7th day. Even though the cash prize has been claimed, you can still play the game all the way through without the time-release play. Please send us your feedback as you play through the game! Thanks!

Exciting concept!

This game has been really fun to play, I am so looking forward to the next chapter release!

Very slow,

Unfortunately, as I downloaded this app, I was getting exited at how you could win money for just solving some puzzles. Puzzles are extremely hard, takes to long to save up coins for a hint. Unless you don’t have a life and have all the time in the world, then you are wasting your time. :(

Great concept, okay execution

I played during the 1 week prelude period and thought the game itself was hit and miss.

The hits: The pages with the actual puzzles, hints, coin collecting via gps, and the world map final puzzle.

The misses: the repetitive mini-games, the ads, and the fact that only one person actually wins anything.

If this game can somehow do daily winners where multiple prizes are awarded (similar to The X), I think it will be much more successful.

Really challenging!

Great app with awesome clues. Loving this!

Fantastic Concept

This is a really great game. The story is engaging and the puzzles fun. I’m writing this on day 5 and so far the puzzles have been fairly straight forward, but they are steadily getting more challenging which is adding to the anticipation of the final cash prize puzzle.
The graphics are good and fit the concept of the story well. The physical activity required to go out in the local area and find page pieces is very much like a geo-caching experience and I love it. It feels like REAL treasure hunting! If you don’t want to do that you can collect page pieces by watching ads, which is a nice alternative.
Yes there have been a few bugs but I’ve been feeding back to the developers and they are very keen to iron everything out before the 30 day game.
Overall this is a fantastic concept delivered in a professional package. I can’t wait to see how this project develops. Well done Hidden Studios, keep up the good work.
