Treasure Chest Overview
Treasure Chest was one of those games you'd find tucked away on a Flash portal in the early 2000s. It belonged to that era of simple, browser based puzzles you could load in a moment and lose an afternoon to. The specifics of its release or creator aren't widely remembered now, which feels fitting for a game that was just part of the background noise of the web back then.
You control a cursor, clicking on groups of three or more matching gems to clear them from the board. The main goal is straightforward: remove all the gems to uncover the treasure chest sitting at the bottom. The mechanics are familiar but effective. Matching gems causes those above to fall into the new gaps, sometimes creating chain reactions. You also have to work around locked gems, which require matches directly adjacent to them to be freed. The pace is steady, neither frantic nor slow, but the boards get progressively more cluttered, demanding more careful planning. It feels like a quiet, methodical process of tidying up a crowded space, one satisfying click at a time.
