3 minute treasure hunts??

[toonafeesh]

Anyone else find the 3 minute treasure hunts ridiculously hard, or is it just me? Audie just sent me on my second treasure hunt and I found the treasure JUST as the timer ran out so I failed >_<

the first time was during Bunny Day week so all I could find was eggs LOL

 

[Miiko]

Yeah I think they're kinda difficult... My very first treasure hunt my villager hid the treasure behind a rock on the tallest elevation at the top of my town, I was really surprised I found it. Second treasure hunt I failed, he hid it along the side of a cliff (those 1-wide tiles) and I didn't really think to check there...

I've only had this event happen once. I had the same issue, where it was in the middle of bunny week...but I did find the item with about 20 seconds left. Definitely wishing I would get more of these treasure hunts (and other original mini games)...but I seriously haven't had more than that singular one.

I didn't even know that treasure hunts were a thing lol, guess this is a spoiler for me

Do villagers just randomly ask you to do it in casual convo? Or do they run up to you and ask?

For my first one, Audie hid it right in front of her house and I didn't bother checking there :'D this second one was in an obscure place on a cliff haha

Wow lucky!! I pretty much gave up because I kept digging up eggs lol

I don't remember how it went the first time, but the second time Audie ran up to me to ask to play with her!

 

[Lady Sugarsaurus]

Wow! I have never had one of these! Lucky!
I wanna do a treasure hunt!

 

[LuchaSloth]

I believe they always run up to you. I'm pretty sure that was how the event was initiated for me as well.

Can't give a 100% guarantee on that...but, I'm about 98% sure.

I had trouble with my hunt too. I looked all over but couldn't find the treasure and the timer ended up running out.

Rolf randomly asked me if I wanted to play during conversation.

I've had a three minute hunt and a five minute one. Needless to say, I preferred the five minute one.

 

[toonafeesh]

AUdie please give me at least 5 minutes too q_____q

 

[LunarMako]

I don't know because MY DARN VILLAGERS STILL HAVEN'T ASKED ME TO PLAY. Lol. I still haven't had anyone ask me to play yet. I really want to play it. Every time they have a bubble over their head, I go to them, they just give me some piece of ugly clothing. UGH.

 

[Krissi2197]

I've had it twice and both times the villagers buried the treasure about 10 feet away from the starting point.

 

[Dewy]

My first treasure hunt was pretty easy because I had just started the game, no terraforming yet, and my island was super empty. So I got it with like 40 seconds to spare
Now however, a three minute treasure hunt is impossible because my island is way more developed lol

 

[Verecund]

Apple did one with me for 3 minutes. I dug up the treasure with two seconds to spare but she took it back anyway, and it kind of sounded like I was supposed to return it to her before the timer expired? I think she's just a sore loser.

 

[Xara]

i agree that they are a bit difficult - i’ve always found the item on time so far but it’s still a lot more stressful than previous villager games lol

 

[Amissapanda]

I had this happen twice now (the event) and I failed both times. It took me quite awhile after the timer was up to even find where they were hidden.

Makes me miss the 'hide and seek' event from New Leaf a bit, haha.

 

[mayortiffany]

Ava asked me to do it once... during Bunny Week... and the treasure was on top of the third level cliff! As you can imagine, I failed.

I wonder if hide and seek is still around. Sounds like it isn't though?

 

[Tasuot]

Um, what? I didn't know this was a thing??

All that my villagers do is just sing in front of Resident Services all day, whether as a solo act or in trios. I have yet to go on this treasure hunt you all speak of

The only villagers that have asked me to do this, only asked after we officially became "Friends" (according to the Nook Miles achievement for it, anyway). So you may have to reach that point with villagers before they'll ask you to play!

the only one i did i dug up an egg and then my shovel broke and by the time i made a new one i found it but the timer ran out so i went back to bunnie and she just took it lol
