Treasure

A paper puzzle I made for Global Game Jam 2021. The theme is "lost and find".

I want to recreate the experience of finding treasures with a treasure map when I was playing Sea of Thieves.

Goal

• Find all the buried treasures!!

Rules

• Each number in the grid represents a Faulty Treasure Detector
• The number on a detector means that at least one treasure is located within a N x N square covering the detector
• Each detector has its corresponding square range
• The position of a treasure is determined if it’s the only intersection of  three squares
• An intersection of four or more squares is a false-positive result, which means no treasure there
• Treasures aren’t buried under detectors
• There are exactly two more detectors than there are treasures

You need to construct a layout of the square of detectors and mark the position of treasures
