The player controls a LEGO minifigure exploring the titular Pirate Sea on a quest to find Captain Redbeard's buried treasure. The game world contains obstacles and enemies for the player to navigate around and treasures for the player to collect for points.

Treasure Hunt was published in October 1996 and was the first LEGO web game published on LEGO.com, which had launched earlier that year. Announced as an "advertainment" game, it was part of a new plan for marketing LEGO to children on the internet.
