What you’ll build
Your soggy map shows a red X. Copy it onto a grid, then use your marker to steer across the sea and onto land. Walk until you stand right on the X, dig down to the buried chest and claim the heart of the sea.
Finish line: You've dug up the buried chest, claimed the heart of the sea and marked the spot with a landmark.
Bonus challenge: Hide a chest and draw your own treasure map for a family member, with 5 compass clues ("30 blocks north of the palm"). Can they find it?
You’ll need
- A buried treasure map
- A shovel
- A boat
You choose
- My treasure crew's name
- My bet: the X is ___ blocks from home
- The landmark I'll build at the dig site
Stuck?
- Not on the X yet? Hold the map and keep walking until your marker sits right on top of it.
- Dug and found nothing? The chest is a few blocks down, so dig wider in a plus shape around the spot.
- The map only shows the area near the treasure, so sail toward the X until the coast starts to appear on it.
