Treasure Box is a surreal little flash game thingumy. It's not quite a point'n'click adventure game in the normal sense, but playing around with all the clicking options certainly helps you through the thing - but in this case some of the things that happen when you 'fail' are as good as finding the successful path to the end.

Is it 'the end' when I have played the piano correctly?

Can't get the generator to work. Can anyone advise?

I can't get the generator to work either - please kind friendly person help!

I can get it to move round but no lights come on

I can get it to move round but no lights come on

Empty? I feel almost as letdown as I am about our election results. Ok, not that let down. In fact....no where NEAR that let down! ;)

Stupid box... I don't want to acknowledge my curiosity, I want glittering prizes...

For the generator click on the wheel, hold on and spin the mouse in a rotation

Walkthrough

1. Click on the head
2.Click red ball
3.Click the frame's
4. Click the lady over to the right the whole below her.make sure the water is running
5. Click the 2nd to last guy of frames
6.Click in the tunnel, and the arm will throw it.
7. click on the wheel, hold down your mouse and rotate the mouse.
8. over to the left click on the medal garage, leave it up, from there click in the garage and something will leave
9.on the right open the shutters click once
10.Then there is the piano you have to play to complete the game, I can't figure out how to play it.

Thanks for the walkthru GTO - I found the piano is easily completed by trial and error and a bit of patience. If you look at what happens as you press each key you can tell there is a difference between playing a good note and playing a bum note. Try all the keys to find the first 'good' note, and then look at the way the notes go up and down on the scale and do likewise on the keyboard. It's a bit tricky but if you persist you'll get it within a few minutes at most - note everytime you play a bum note you go right back to the begining so you have to remember the sequence that worked as you go along.

What are you supposed to do with the flying bicycle guy and the red ball?

Anita: oooops - I forgot I never figured that bit out as I had to go to bed....got to try again now :o)

as you move the flying guy around, the ball runs away from it. if the ball goes and touches the bottom of the screen, you fail. thus, make the ball go to the _____ of the screen to pass.

im so lost.. i got to the very bottom, underneith the guys feet.. and.. theres nothing showing except for the ground, the guys feet, and the occasional frog thingy.. in the corner.. did i mess up?? im soo lost

never mind, it wus my computer bein slow.. n stupid.. i beat it though.. very interesting..

man, this game is messed!

the game was quite easy... at least, easier than some other point and clicks... keep trying! you will get there in the end lol... :)

HOW do you get the generator to work???? GAH! is my computer just being slow, or is there something i'm not doing correctly- i can get it to say FASTER/ I WANT LIGHT but not beyond that. grr...

jeff yeh, can u fill in the blank " make the ball go to the _____ of the screen to pass." please? i cant figure what i should do.

move it to e top of e screen

whee! i beat it! it's kinda cool! i love it:)[just because it's the only pointnclick game i ever beat without looking at a walkthrough heehee] i love the artwork too and the big guy with the screaming head:P

YAY! I made it! Darn you king, I WANT THY TREASURE! lol

Wow, you have to have the best imagination to make such a cool game. And the best part is...I BEAT IT WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE WALKTHROUGH!

reminds me of the smashing pumpkins.
you know,the melloncollie and the
infinet sadness peroid? i call some of
there albums "peroids".

Absolutely excellent. Good art, good imagination, kind of wimpy ending - not that I wanted the treasure, but it isn't up to the rest of the game. Still, reminds me of some of Terry Gilliam's best work.

what r the numbers for the *@#!*$^ piano thing????
iv got 5 8 12 5 and i need 1 more

ok i might be really dumb but does it always come out empty

After the frog eats the ball and the fellow throws the ball in the air, all I get is the framed screen - and that's it. Suggestions?

Here it is its 5 8 12 5 2 4 but after that a framed screen is all you get i guess u have to find a dot or some shit im gonna try to get it if you get it please e-mail me with what u have to do! Thanks!

i beat it easy

when the screen is just blank with some leg type things at the top, after the piano bit, is that the end or is there something to do there? Please help!!!

im so disappointed, after all that time and effot. :-(

i need help, just please tell me which numbers to pusho on the Piano, ive been wondering which ones i pust for hours, PLEASE HELP, thanks so much, _!~!_Ciao_!~!_

hahaha. nice ending. although i still think it was worth the effort

i did it it is 5 12 8 5 2 4

and for all u stupid people out there hold down the mouse while using the generator!

ya hold down the mouse WHILE you turn the wheel. and make sure you go slow so you actually make the dudes arm move!

Is there anything you need to do after the blank screen!?

Yes, I finally beat it! I didn't even have to use any walkthroughs or help this time! That hasn't happened since...well, ever. Yeah! (Note: As all of you musical people realize by now, it really helps at the piano-playing puzzle if you can read music.) A fun little game.

i don' t know what to do when the screen is almost blank except for 4 lines!

im at a blank screen. Now what? plz help

Very interesting but kinda easy point and click. The viridian room's still the only one I've done with help. I demand harder puzzles!

this game is WONDERFUL. not really a puzzle, more of a game -- fun to play, and beautiful. lovely music.
the key to playing the piano is that it lights up the NEXT note as you play the correct tone, so figure out what note you started with and then how many tones up or down from that the lit-up note is.

that was such a beautiful game, so much effort went into that!

arrrrrrr what do you do with the ball and the bike i really dont get it help !!!!!! please

plase i'm so stuck I am in the beggining and i don't know what i have to do here.The ball always finished in the same place. I don't know a lot of english i wish you could understand me , please answer to me quicly

thanks i have do it I don't have water

well, that was an odd little game... wasnt too tricky though...
