This week do we have a treat for you. After toiling away for months on Treasure Trooper’s $100 Treasure Hunt, I am here to release all of the answers to the public. The answers has never been released before, as most members feel that they are required to keep them secret. Yet examination of their terms of service and privacy policy yields no issues.

I wasted my time with this progress, and the fact that I see many other people doing the same disturbs me. So take a look at this walkthrough or whatever you want to call it… and decide for yourself if the treasure hunt is worth your time. There are 13 acts; click the images to enlarge them.

Act One - Stopped On A Bridge
Well… here’s where the headache starts. You will realize right away that this is not a treasure hunt, but a laundry list of things you need to pass on to the next act. Here, a “native” stops you on a bridge and demands that you give him 20 gold coins. These gold coins are from offers, the least of which are the 50-cent surveys that provide 1 gold coin apiece. That’s about 20 offers you need to pass on, get to it.

Act Two - A Missing Part
After struggling over your 20 gold coins (which are taken away), you know don’t know what to do as you are informed you need a “missing piece” to make a compass work. You need to purchase BOTH pages 1 AND 2 of the “Trooper Journal” to continue. Why they didn’t make it the first page is beyond me. Regardless, you will find out that you need to get the “Ruby” in the “Trading Hut” page for 15 gold coins. Total cost of this round is 15 coins for the ruby + 10 coins per page for a total of 35 coins… ouch.

Act Three - Beware of Villagers
Okay, by now you are probably thinking… what else can they throw at me. This is when they hit you with the news you will need 8 pearls to continue. Pearls are offered after completing offers in a mini-game. The odds of winning are roughly 1-in-3. I hit bad odds on this, but hopefully you won’t. Logically, this will work out to about 24 offers completed, although you might already have enough if you didn’t spend them.

Act Four - Carried Away
After handing over the 8 pearls you just collected (finally)… you find out, once again, the “villagers” have disregarded your offer and want more. Now, again, you will need a gem to continue. The photo drops a hint of “worship the sun,” and after you purchase the third page of the Trooper Journal for another 10 coins, you find that you need the Topaz gem to continue. This is relatively easy, you just need to complete 10 daily surveys. But if you haven’t done this before, you could be hit with a one-to-two week waiting time for the surveys to count. Get your Topaz and move on.

Act Five - Give Me That!
So you got together what you need to pass act four… congrats! Act five is a breeze. But you will learn soon that it actually kills you. The character “Clara” hold you up with a weapon, and forces you to forfeit the ENTIRE TREASURE MAP! You can now move on to Act 6, but it’s not gonna be pretty…

Act Six - Down For The Count
You get “shot” and now will need an elixir to continue. Of course, they guys down at Treasure Trooper have cooked up some random incoherent story about why you need to get the next gem. You don’t need another Trooper Journal page (for now), because they put the pages out of order with the treasure hunt. You need the Emerald, which entails referring 3 friends. Don’t try to cheat them… they will shut down your account in a heartbeat. Not to bad for now, continue on.

Next week we will cover acts 7 to 13, stay tuned!
