Puzzle: Get to the treasures
Puzzle: Get to the Treasures drops you into a series of compact, hand-crafted stages where the path to each shiny prize is never straightforward.

It's a crisp, satisfying mix of logic and timing that rewards patience over speed. As you progress, puzzles start layering multiple obstacles at once, turning each level into a mini strategy session. The clean visuals and responsive controls keep the focus squarely on the thinking, making it easy to dive in for a quick session or lose yourself for an hour. Whether you're a veteran of tile-based challenges or just looking for something to engage your brain, this game offers a refreshing twist on the classic treasure-hunt concept.

What is Puzzle: Get to the treasures
A thoughtful arcade puzzler that asks you to weave through moving barriers and locked rooms to snatch up every last treasure. Each level is a compact brain teaser waiting to be cracked.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys or swipe to move your character one step at a time across the grid. Reach all the treasure chests in a level while avoiding hazards and solving the spatial puzzles to unlock the exit.
Tips for Playing
- Plan your route before you move—count your steps and watch for sliding blocks.
- Prioritize treasures that are behind moving walls; they can shift your intended path.
- Use the environment—bounce off edges or use ledges to change direction mid-move.
- If you get stuck, reset the level and study the pattern of moving obstacles first.
- Don't rush; sometimes waiting for the right moment is the correct move.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I control the character?
You can use the arrow keys on your keyboard or swipe on a touchscreen to move one tile in any direction. The character moves only when you input a direction.
What happens if I run out of moves?
Each level has a limited number of moves you can make. If you hit zero before collecting every treasure, you'll need to restart that level from the beginning.
Can I restart a level without losing progress?
Yes, there's a reset button that lets you start the current level over instantly. Your overall progress through the game is saved as you complete stages.
Are the treasures all necessary to finish a level?
To clear a level, you need to collect all the treasure chests scattered across the grid. Once they're all gathered, the exit door becomes available.
Is this game purely logic-based, or is there a time limit?
It's entirely a logic puzzle—there's no timer. You can take as long as you need to think through each move, as long as you stay within the move limit.
What kinds of obstacles will I face?
Expect sliding platforms, teleport buttons, locked gates, and moving walls. Each introduces a unique way to interact with the grid and challenges your spatial reasoning.
