Treasure Hunt Quiz at a glance
Create a Treasure Hunt Quiz slide
1
Add the slide
In the editor, click New slide, then search for Treasure Hunt Quiz or find it in the Quiz group. Give the hunt a name in the title. It is shown as the heading on the big screen and on phones, so write the topic there, not a question.
2
Add your questions
Under Questions, click Add question, pick the Question type and type the question. For Pick answer, add 2 to 6 answers and tick the right one. For True or false, choose whether the statement is true. Players get the questions in a shuffled order and loop through them until the hunt ends, so write at least 8 questions for a 5-minute hunt, and more for a longer one. For example, a science review could ask “Which is the biggest planet?” or “The Sun is a star: true or false?”.

Or bring questions in
Click Import questions to turn a file (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text or a photo) or pasted text into questions, or Generate with AI to get questions on a topic you name. You choose which ones to add, and they go to the end of your list.

Choose how the hunt ends
Under Game rules, set End condition to Time runs out and pick a Time limit, or to A hunter reaches a gold target and set a Gold target of 300 or more. A chest usually pays tens of gold, so a target of 1,000 suits a short, lively hunt. Pick 2,000 or more for a longer one.
Present a Treasure Hunt Quiz slide
Click Present and share the access code. Players join on their phones and wait in the lobby, which shows every hunter on the big screen as they arrive. Click Start hunt when everyone is in. On each phone, a player answers one question at a time. A right answer opens a choice of three chests, and the player taps one to see what is inside. A wrong answer opens no chest and moves the player on to the next question. Each phone shows the player’s gold and how far they are from the next player up. On the big screen, the live arena shows the hunters, the gold in play, the time left and the top 5, with a call-out when someone takes the lead. You can click End hunt to stop early. When the hunt ends, a podium shows the top three and the final standings, and every player’s gold is added to the leaderboard.What’s in a Treasure Hunt Quiz chest
Each chest is a surprise, picked at random. Most chests add gold.
A raid or swap that has nobody to target pays a small amount of gold instead. The player who was raided sees who took their gold on their phone.
