According to the map, the lost treasure of Powderkeg Pierce, should be around here… somewhere. Unfortunately, it’s not specific and Powderkeg is famous for hiding a bunch of explosive dummy chests in the same area as the real treasure. Dig quickly to find the gold before the time runs out, but don’t hit one of the booby-trapped chests!
Aim:
Click on the map to find the buried treasure without setting off too many mines.
How-to:
Click the squares on the map. If that area is clear, a number will appear showing how many objects are near it (either mines or the treasure). Use shift + click to mark potential mines. If you mark the treasure, the flag will be gold. See below for details on the game.
Items/objects/areas of game:
| Item | Information |
 |
These are blank spaces that have no mines or treasure near them. |
 |
The numbers indicate an item (either mine of treasure is near). Items are within a 2 square area around the number. So in the example on the left, I would flag the top left, and bottom right squares. |
 |
This is what a flag looks like in-game. You will know if you have marked a mine as you will be awarded 10 points, which you will be notified about for a second. |
 |
The flag will appear gold if you have marked the treasure. Do not click straight away (see tips at bottom of guide). |
 |
Gold flag once clicked – the treasure will be revealed and the level completed. When the treasure has been revealed, nothing more can be done on that level. |
 |
The score box can be found on the right hand side of the game. Score increases by 10 for every mine correctly identified with a flag. |
 |
The timer box is under the score box on the right hand side of the game. Used for achievement – see table below. |
 |
This box lets you know how many flags you have remaining for that level. |
 |
This box shows you how many mines are in the level. This increases the higher level you are at. |
 |
Enter or exit Flag Mode using this button instead of holding down the shift key. |
