### 3/5 — Always blocks my account when I travel

*2023-01-02*

I really enjoy the game and have been on a ship for years burying treasures around the globe. Unfortunately, when I travel and/or my GPS has issues I end up being blocked. Last time I had to write them 3 times before they unblocked me, and now I am blocked again. I had traveled and had returned home when I opened the game and was blocked again. Probably because my GPS had not readjusted to my location as I was not on WiFi. I don’t understand why they haven’t fixed this and why it takes so long to be unblocked. Please help resolve this!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work for me

*2022-12-22, version 9.4*

Sadly doesn’t load past the first screen, wanting me to enter a name but nowhere to enter it.  Version may be obsolete.

### 3/5 — Lost its appeal

*2018-09-10, version 7.9*

Played this game a long time and getting bored with it now. The collections dont feel like treasures anymore, u dont get the same thrill of picking stuff up as the “treasures” arent really treasures anymore. There has to be a story behind each collection which isnt very appealing as the collections are more goblins and witches rather than diamonds and jewels. Im also pretty  sure the no1 player who uses various alias on various phones is a cheat who gps jumps picking treasures up that you would feel are quite safe in obscure locations. Sad as use to really enjoy this game but can see it being deleted soon.

### 5/5 — It's a drug

*2018-07-02, version 7.9*

Why can't I stop playing this game

### 5/5 — Fave game

*2018-05-26*

Definitely my favorite game - causes me to actually get off the couch and see the outdoors :)

### 3/5 — Ok

*2018-02-13*

Right away I see the scam. Traveling across the us gives prizes not traveling in your own city

### 5/5 — Great game if you're willing to put time in

*2017-05-10, version 7.3*

While it can be kinda tedious to get started (and know that you're gonna have to pay 99c to really play the game), it's totally worth it. Pick it up, hit up the devs on Facebook, and keep playing. It's worth it.

### 5/5 — Great fun!

*2017-04-01*

This is such a fun app! Particularly if you travel a lot! It's fun when you're going on a road trip to see what new treasures you can find and bring home with you. And how long you keep your treasures buried in different obscure areas. We do this as a family and it's so much fun to share! Also, admin are very responsive and helpful when you have any issues. Try it, you will LOVE it!

### 5/5 — Award winning game that's a must !!!!

*2017-03-04, version 7.3*

Have been playing this game for over 5 years now it's developers are just amazing with both their support and work ethics giving the game longevity and interest for everyone if you only buy one app game make it this one Brilliant !!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Best Ap EVER!!

*2017-03-04, version 7.2*

I've been playing this game for years now and it is by far the best GPS game out there!! If you travel for a living (or if you don't) you need to play this game.

### 5/5 — Totally addictive!!!

*2017-03-04, version 7.2*

The only game I have on my phone.  The only one I've ever spent real money on.  

Easy and SO FUN to play!!!  Collect, trade, and bury treasures nearby and all over the world!

### 5/5 — So addicting!

*2017-03-04, version 7.2*

At the moment this is the longest app I have ever kept on any iPhone and certainly the longest I've ever played any one game. It's gotten me connected with people and places I never would have encountered on my own and is so addicting I don't think I've gone more than a day or two in five years without playing it! Definitely worth a download but be warned ;)

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2017-01-31, version 7.2*

Playing for years!! Love it and awesome game play!!

### 2/5 — Good idea bad gameplay I guess

*2016-03-27, version 5.8*

When I was reading the directions I was so excited for the game. But then I found out that u don't actually have to look for the treasure u just have to be by it and then do whatever with it. It was pretty annoying when I found that out

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2025-11-07, version 11.3*

They are shutting down the game so don’t bother downloading it

### 1/5 — Unacceptable Response Times

*2020-03-25, version 8.8*

Phone stolen over two months ago. Replacement phone was installed by iCloud backup but system cannot find account. Asked for support with no response to date. Another request sent. Will update review if response is adequate.

### 1/5 — Steals your money!!!

*2019-11-19, version 8.5*

This app steals your money!!!!

I reinstalled this app, and it keeps saying that they’re unable to find my account, after I enter my password. 

Yet, when I attempted to create a new account, they said my email address was already assigned. 

I’ve attempted to contact support multiple times in the past week, and I have not yet received any response, nor is there any way to reset my password/reclaim my account. 

DO NOT MAKE ANY IN-APP PURCHASES!!!

### 1/5 — FAKE TREASURE HUNTING

*2019-10-14*

It sounded like geocaching which is way better and if you want to treasure hunt, then geocaching is the best scavenger hunt. This game has no treasure.

### 1/5 — Zzzzzzzz

*2017-05-19*

The pros: seems well written, doesn't crash, good load times, etc.

The cons: boring gameplay and all of the treasures that I have detected are clearly bots or automatic spawns. Boring graphical design and mediocre artwork. (Is this clip art?)

In short... I buried all my treasures and then deleted the app

### 1/5 — 2008 called.  Wants its game back.

*2017-03-17*

What started as a good concept is flawed.  The developer is judge and jury it seems.  All of the top players cheat or have cheated with gps spoofing.  Sometimes your account gets shut down because you're guilty of association?  The game has lost its integrity.  It's a joke.   This is not how a business is run in 2017.   Good luck.

### 1/5 — Not enough nearby treasures!!!!

*2014-10-25, version 5.3*

Its impossible to get more things and the game needs to be an mmo

### 1/5 — Do not waste your time on this app

*2014-07-31, version 5.1*

I do not recommend this game to anyone that values their privacy.  The main developer is a player in the game (which is a conflict of interest). Myself and team members spent a lot of money upgrading ourselves in this game only to have the developer remove a valuable treasure from one of our collections and handed off to one of the members on her ship. The game has a lot of defects/glitches that allow others to cheat and the developer states this can't be helped due to lack of funds. Overall a very poor game with a lot of cheating and no privacy.

### 1/5 — Horrible Account Management

*2013-08-10, version 4.4*

I can't even begin to explain how frustrated and disappointed I am with this app. 
Every time I restore my device or upgrade my phone I need to go through days of communications with Kitty Code to restore account.
Other apps in the App Store use the Game Center information. Why not this app?!??
Don't waste your time or money on this app like I have.

### 1/5 — Treasure? Not really.

*2013-06-28, version 4.4*

I have traveled from Lake Superior to Lake Ontario and only found 5 treasures. 4 were in the same city by the same player. Too boring of a game if there are very few treasures to be found. No way to really get going in this game.  If there were at least some random system generated treasures available for newcomers, that would at least help hold interest and get them going. Bottom line is that, in its current state, you will waste more time downloading the app than you will actually playing it.

### 5/5 — Latest Update

*2024-06-30*

It would be nice if the players went into settings and turned on Share Treasure/Traveler History. Someone sold CRR  17 treasures and he has no idea who it was. 
We do Love the game!

### 5/5 — Awesome Game

*2023-09-29*

I have been playing since 2010 and have loved it! The game continues to get updates and the support staff is very responsive. My wife and I both play and really have enjoyed it for years. I hope one of the future changes/upgrades is the ability to bury all the treasures that are in the same vault.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2023-02-06*

Great game, wish there was more people playing.

### 5/5 — An amazing game

*2023-01-05, version 9.4*

I have been playing this game for five years now. It is amazing, the developers are also fabulous day take on all feedback and act on it. I am registered blind and therefore use VoiceOver on the iPhone to play this game. They have make sure that I can do this as it is fully accessible. Please give this game a try and spread the word.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-03-03*

I’ve been playing this for a long time.  6+ years.  Maybe 7.  Lost track.  That alone says what I think of it.  My wife plays, my grandkids play.  I’ve gotten to see LOTS of backroads I’d have never seen otherwise.  Easy to play, always plenty to help online.  GET IT!!!!!

### 5/5 — Extremely Fun and Addicting! This game has soooo much potential!

*2019-01-27*

I’ve been playing TQ for almost a year now and I love it. It’s a great way to get outdoors and to travel around the world to find new collections that you never knew existed. The system is cool, the displays of the overall game are amazing, and the satisfaction for finding a new treasure is exhilarating! I travel frequently and I’ve always saved up a lot of treasures to put them all in an exotic  place that I’m sure nobody will find. The problem is that it takes so long to drop 100 treasures, and the amount of time to drop a few thousand is exhausting! Please, implement an option where you can drop all of your current treasures or a certain number, specific collections, or them all at once! This will make dropping treasures much faster in times where you don’t have the time to drop 1,000’s of treasures. Please! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Arrrrrrrgh, fun for all ahead!

*2018-07-03*

We LOVE this game! The concept of treasure hunting is already pretty fun but what makes this game is the community of players (if you download it, definitely join our Facebook community group!) AND the ridiculously creative and equally gorgeous artwork for each collection of treasures!

### 5/5 — Fun, fun, fun!

*2018-07-02*

This is one of a handful of apps that I’ve had on my phone for any length of time; it has keep me engaged for that long. Great for traveling, although travel isn’t necessary to have a great time with this game. Hunt individually or in teams for fun treasures.  Developers respond quickly to any issues and continually improve/update the app. This app is a keeper for sure!  Just FYI; I’ve never reviewed an app before; this is my first time!

### 5/5 — Longevity and appeal

*2018-07-02, version 7.9*

Been playing this game for a long time now, and it still keeps me engaged unlike a lot of others that loose their appeal, it has a brilliant community playing it and the developers are brilliant in responding to queries and helping if you have issues, highly recommended 👍🏻
