Treasure Hunt is a tile-based game with a limited number of moves. The game takes place on a 14×14 map, which the player starts on the southern side of. Only a 3×3 area around the player is visible at any time; clicking on any of the surrounding tiles will move the player to that tile, if possible. The map has three types of features scattered across it: treasures for the player to collect, enemies for the player to avoid, and islands that the player has to navigate around. The player starts with twenty points, and each move to a different tile costs one point. Collecting treasure increases the player's points, while sailing into an enemy takes away points. There are also three special items on the map: a shovel, a message in a bottle, and a crown.
