Hello, adventurer. This mission, should you choose to join us, is of the utmost importance. At one of our archeological dig sites around this area, our team of scientists made an incredible discovery: a mysterious tablet pointing to the fabled Vessel of Joy. Legend says that any who find this Vessel will be blessed with unending happiness and joy. There’s just one problem: in order to decipher the tablet’s secret, it appears that 10 special, lost Artifacts are required. That’s where you come in.
Given your expertise in archaeology and your penchant for adventure, we need your help finding these 10 lost Artifacts and assisting our team of scientists in unravelling the mysteries surrounding the Vessel of Joy. Clues to each of the Artifacts were uncovered with the mysterious tablet. Once you join the mission, we’ll give them to you to decipher, pointing the way to each Artifact. Follow the clues, retrieve the Artifacts, and we’ll be sure to reward you. And don’t forget to document your journey along the way.
So, are you up to the challenge? We can’t do this without you. Sign up for adventure today and help us in this epic Treasure Quest!

Treasure Quest is free to play, but you will need an internet-connected device to participate.
As you head out on your adventure, please keep these important reminders and rules in mind.

The app is browser-based and does not require any downloads. To access the app, please click the button below.
