Let's solve the treasure hunt step by step using the map and instructions provided.
---
Step 1: Understand the Map
- The map is a grid where
each square represents 1 km.
- There’s a compass in the bottom-left corner showing directions:
- North (up)
- East (right)
- South (down)
- West (left)
- We start at the
red arrow, which points to the starting point on the map. This is located at the
bottom-left of the island, near the water, just east of the "W" on the coastline.
---
Step 2: Follow the Instructions One by One
We will go through each instruction and track our position on the grid.
####
Start: At the red arrow → Position:
(0, 0)
We’ll use coordinates: (East, North), so (0,0) is the bottom-left corner.

1.
Go East 3 km → Move right 3 squares
→ New position:
(3, 0)
2.
Go North 5 km → Move up 5 squares
→ New position:
(3, 5)
3.
Go East 2 km → Move right 2 squares
→ New position:
(5, 5)
4.
Go South 2 km → Move down 2 squares
→ New position:
(5, 3)
5.
Go East 3 km → Move right 3 squares
→ New position:
(8, 3)
6.
Go South 1 km → Move down 1 square
→ New position:
(8, 2)
7.
Go West 3 km → Move left 3 squares
→ New position:
(5, 2)
8.
Go North 3 km → Move up 3 squares
→ New position:
(5, 5)
9.
Go West 4 km → Move left 4 squares
→ New position:
(1, 5)
10.
Go South 1 km → Move down 1 square
→ New position:
(1, 4)
11.
Go East 1 km → Move right 1 square
→ New position:
(2, 4)
12.
Go North 3 km → Move up 3 squares
→ New position:
(2, 7)
13.
Go East 2 km → Move right 2 squares
→ New position:
(4, 7)
14.
Mark a cross → Mark an X at
(4, 7)

Final Answer: Where is the Treasure?
The treasure is at
(4, 7) — that is,
4 km east and 7 km north from the starting point.
On the map, this location is:
- Near the
top-right area
- Just
south of the waterfall
- Close to a
small hut or building with a yellow roof
- In a grassy area near some trees
So, the treasure is buried
near the top-right section of the island, close to the waterfall and the small hut.

✔ Final Answer:
The treasure is in the top-right area of the island, near the waterfall and a small hut, at coordinates (4, 7).
You should mark a
cross (X) at that spot on your map.
