Players answer at their own pace, open chests for loot and raid rivals until time or the gold target runs out. A right answer is only half the fun when it also lets you pick a chest and hope for diamonds. Treasure Hunt Quiz is a scored quiz slide where players answer a bank of questions on their phones at their own pace, and every right answer opens a chest that can add gold, multiply it, or take some from a rival. ## Treasure Hunt Quiz at a glance | | | | - | - | | Type | Scored quiz game, each player's gold goes to the leaderboard | | Find it | **New slide**, then search for **Treasure Hunt Quiz** or look in the **Quiz** group | | Questions | 1 to 100, each **Pick answer** (2 to 6 choices, one right) or **True or false** | | How it ends | When the time limit runs out (1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 minutes) or a player reaches the gold target | | Pace | Every player answers at their own pace, in their own shuffled order | | Availability | On every plan, shown with a Beta badge in the slide picker | ## 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?". **3. 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. **4. 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. | Chest | What happens | | - | - | | Gold | Adds 10 to 100 gold. | | Gem | Adds 50 to 150 gold, from jade up to diamond. | | Multiplier | Doubles or triples the player's gold. | | Raid on the leader | Takes 5% to 25% of the leader's gold. A player who is already in the lead raids the player in second place. | | Raid on a rival | Takes 5% to 15% of a random other player's gold. | | Swap | Swaps piles with the leader, or with second place if the player is in the lead. | | Bad luck | Loses some gold, with a funny reason. | | Empty | Nothing inside. | 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. ## Treasure Hunt Quiz settings | Setting | What it does | Default | | - | - | - | | Question type | **Pick answer** or **True or false**, set per question. You can mix both in one hunt. | Pick answer | | End condition | **Time runs out** or **A hunter reaches a gold target**. | Time runs out | | Time limit | How long the hunt lasts: 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 minutes. | 5 minutes | | Gold target | The gold that ends the hunt as soon as one player reaches it, from 300. | 1,000 | | Music & sound effects | Theme music and sound effects on the presenter screen only, never on phones. Under **Advanced settings**. | On | ## Ideas for using Treasure Hunt Quiz * **Classroom revision**: set a 5-minute hunt on the topic you just taught, such as the planets or the parts of a plant, before a test. * **Training recap**: end a session with a hunt on its key points, so you can see what stuck. * **Team event trivia**: run a race to 1,500 gold with general knowledge questions about animals, food and sport. * **Energiser**: open a meeting with a 2-minute hunt of easy true or false statements. ## Treasure Hunt Quiz vs. Bubble Rush Both are self-paced quiz races. In [Bubble Rush](https://docs.ahaslides.com/using-slide-types/using-the-bubble-rush-slide.md), each right answer lights one bubble and the first to light them all wins, so the fastest correct player always leads. In Treasure Hunt Quiz, each right answer opens a chest of random loot that can also raid or swap with the leader, so luck and rivalry keep the result open until the end. For one question that the whole room answers together, use [Pick Answer](https://docs.ahaslides.com/using-slide-types/using-the-pick-answer-slide.md). ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Treasure Hunt Quiz scored? Yes. Each player's final gold is their score for this slide and is added to the leaderboard. There are no separate points per question. ### Can a player lose gold? Yes. A bad luck chest takes some away, and other players can raid or swap with them. A wrong answer never costs gold. ### Does it work in a self-paced presentation? Yes. In a self-paced presentation each player runs a solo hunt with the same questions and end condition, and can play again at the end. ### Why can't I add or remove questions any more? Once players have answered, the question list is locked. Reset the slide's results to add or remove questions or answers. **Have a question?** Contact our support team: if you're logged in, use the chat bubble in the bottom-right of your dashboard; otherwise [contact us here](https://ahaslides.com/contact-us/) or email [hi@ahaslides.com](mailto:hi@ahaslides.com).
