Introduction to the Travel Town Treasure Hunt Event

The Treasure Hunt event is a recurring mini-game event in Travel Town – Merge Adventure. Players collect map keys by fulfilling customer orders on their main board, which are then used to unlock grid tiles on a hidden treasure island. In this travel town treasure hunt guide, you will learn key farming techniques, tile clearance priorities, and chest reward breakdowns to maximize your loot.

1. How to Farm Keys Efficiently

Unlocking treasure tiles requires brass keys:

  • Complete regular main board orders during active key-multiplier hours.
  • Prioritize high-level orders, as they yield larger bundles of event keys compared to low-tier orders.
  • Utilize energy saved from auto-producers to quickly complete order requirements.

  • Focus on clearing tiles that lead directly toward visible chest icons rather than clearing every single tile.
  • Target glowing compass tiles, which reveal hidden chest locations across adjacent obscured tiles.
  • Avoid wasting keys on isolated corner tiles unless they contain required progression keys.

3. Treasure Hunt Chest Reward Tiers

Opening island chests awards progressive rewards:

  • Wooden Chests: Small energy bundles and coin stacks.
  • Silver Chests: Gems, medium energy bolts, and 3-star card packs.
  • Gold & Diamond Chests: 500+ Energy bolts, 100+ gems, 5-star card packs, and Joker Cards.

4. Energy Management During Treasure Hunt

To complete the entire Treasure Hunt map before the event timer expires:

  • Save energy bundles accumulated from Daily Challenges specifically for key farming sessions.
  • Coordinate your main board merges with simultaneous Daily Challenge requirements to earn double rewards per energy point spent.
