Treasure Hunt Concept

 Recently participated in Hunt The Mouse Event by Sqkii, after the event had ended I was inspired to create a better hints system for Treasure Hunt.

My Concept is base on Colour Number Matrix Table and it is related to Elements and Mythical Creatures. In the East is a Green Wood Unicorn named Jupiter. In the South is a Red Fire Phoenix named Mars. In the West is a Yellow Earth Lion named Saturn. In the North is a Blue Water Dragon named Mercury. In the Central is a White Metal Griffin named Venus.

The Colour Number Matrix Table start with Prime Number for Yellow Lion, then the Red Phoenix is using Multiple of 4. The Green Unicorn and Blue Dragon is random using a Table which is inspired by the Cicada Reproduction Cycle where it shift the cycle to Prime Number of 13 and 17 to avoid the Predator Reproduction Cycle of 4 Years Interval.

Cicada Reproduction Cycle

Yellow Lion Matrix using Prime Number

Red Phoenix Matrix using Multiple of 4 Interval

Green Unicorn Matrix

Blue Dragon Matrix

This Concept can be use for wide variety as it will give a 2 digits number which can be combine into a 6 digits Postal Code. Below is the Detail Explanation for the Treasure Hunt Concept.

The participants will start the hunt first by choose one of the 4 Mythical Creatures, they will be given the Colour Matrix Card accordingly depend on which Mythical Creature they choose. They must team up with 3 other people who are holding different colour Matrix Card as they will need all 4 to decode the numbers. After they get the Matrix Card they will be given Hints on the one of the location which is in the area related to their Mythical Creature.

Once they arrive at the Location they will find a Code which will lead them to the next related location, they will also receive an additional partial code which will later lead them to an intermediate location in Orchard Road. For example if the participant choose Unicorn, he will be given the Code B12G17R25. The Code will indicate 12th Blue Number which is 50, 16th Green Number which is 62 and 25th Red Number which is 96. Combine the three set will give 506796 which is the Postal Code for Pasir Ris Red House.

At Pasir Ris Red House he will find another Code B16B22R20 which give 669076 which is the Postal Code for Green House in Bukit Batok which is also well known as Hill View Mansion. He will also find an Additional Partial Code of Y9 which is 23 for the Intermediate Location. 

If the player is smart enough he would be able to link the two locations and find the remaining 1 or 2 locations which is closely related to it. The White House in Punggol which is well known as Matilda House and another White House in Marine Parade which is well known as 37 Sea Breeze Lodge.

After they have collected the Postal Code of the Intermediate Location, they will find 5 Buildings Orchard Road which is related to the 5 Elements. Each Building will contain a Final Code which will lead them to the Final Location in Simei and the 5 Portrait of China Ancient Beauties will mark out an area which the Treasure is hidden.

There are many possibilities with this Concept, as the Number Digits can be use for Number Lock for Hints Box. Also can use IQ Question to test the Participants before they can obtain the Colour Matrix Card and the smarter one will be able to get more cards if they can solve more questions.
