Treasure Hunt Adventures
Treasure Hunt Adventures is the quieter of the two hubs on Squibjoy: five free Android games built around searching, rather than fighting or racing. Three lean on match-3 mechanics in one form or another, and two are proper point-and-click adventures built around picking up items and working out what opens what.
What ties them together isn't genre so much as pace. None of these games are timed in a way that punishes careful looking, and all five are built to be played in short, self-contained chunks — a scene, a level, a chapter — rather than one long unbroken session.
The games
-
The Hidden Treasures: Objects
Captain Aimee and her crew search the Caribbean for a family secret, and every stage lets you choose between spotting objects or clearing a gem board instead.

-
Jewel Pop: Treasure Island
Joy the sea otter guides a search for jewels across a sun-bleached island, and matching same-coloured blocks slowly floods the board so buried gems can rise.
7.9/10Read the review
-
Jewels Jungle Treasure
Chain-clear jewels against a jungle canopy across more than 1,900 short levels — simple mechanics, simple ambitions, and no story to speak of.

The Lost Treasure
A classic point-and-click hunt across a pirate's cove, a ruined temple and old tree dwellings, built around careful observation rather than timers or taps-per-minute.

The Lost Treasure 2
Picks up where the first game left off, chasing pirate treasure through a newly discovered archipelago near the Galápagos, a desert crossing and an underground labyrinth.

What to look for in this hub
The five games here split into two real formats, and it's worth knowing which one you want before installing anything. The Hidden Treasures: Objects, The Lost Treasure and The Lost Treasure 2 all carry a running story that gives context to what you're searching for and why; Jewel Pop: Treasure Island and Jewels Jungle Treasure don't bother with narrative at all and are built purely around the mechanics of matching.
Session length is the other thing to weigh. The two Lost Treasure games ask for twenty minutes or more per chapter and reward sitting with a scene; the three match-3 games are built for five-to-ten-minute bursts and don't mind being picked up and put down constantly. Neither approach is better — it depends on whether you want a game that fills a commute or one that fills an evening.
How the five Treasure Hunt Adventures games compare
| Game | Format | Story | Session length | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Hidden Treasures: Objects | Hidden object + match-3 hybrid | Full running mystery | 10–20 minute scenes | 8.7 / 10 |
| Jewel Pop: Treasure Island | Match-3 + water-fill puzzle | Light framing only | 5–10 minute levels | 7.9 / 10 |
| Jewels Jungle Treasure | Match-3 elimination | None | Quick 3–5 minute rounds | 6.6 / 10 |
| The Lost Treasure | Point-and-click adventure puzzle | Full running mystery | 20–40 minute chapters | 9.0 / 10 |
| The Lost Treasure 2 | Point-and-click adventure puzzle | Full running mystery (sequel) | 25–45 minute chapters | 8.3 / 10 |
Format and story presence come from actually playing each game through; session length is a practical estimate, not an average.
