Treasure Hunt appears to be an upcoming Chest Conquest-style Grow A Garden event where chests spawn around the map every hour and players carry them back to their gardens for rewards, but the event is still leak-based rather than officially documented.
Treasure Hunt is the name players are using for a coming Grow A Garden update feature, while Chest Conquest looks like the event name tied to the actual activity. The loop is simple: chests scatter around the map, players grab them, and the reward comes from carrying them back to their own garden.
Treasure Hunt may arrive as Chest Conquest
The leaked event is framed as part of the next summer update, with Chest Conquest starting once every one hour. When it starts, chests appear around the map and players race to secure them before other players do.
The event also includes a disruption angle. A shovel can be used to knock other players, which makes the activity closer to a map-wide scramble than a quiet collection task.
The closest comparison is the previous egg hunt-style event: get to the objective fast, survive the crowd, and bring the pickup back before someone slows you down.
Best prep before Chest Conquest starts
| Pet or tool | Use |
|---|---|
| Raptor | Use for movement speed so chest runs take less time. |
| Kirin | Use its speed ability when you need an active burst during the event. |
| Mimic | Pair with Kirin as an early loadout idea before the event meta settles. |
| Shovel | Use to knock other players during chest contests. |
KEY!Because Chest Conquest revolves around carrying chests across the map, the strongest early preparation is movement speed. The faster you reach scattered chests and return to your garden, the more chances you have to claim rewards during each hourly window.
The final best loadout cannot be locked in until Chest Conquest is playable, but the prep direction is clear: bring pets that help you move faster, and expect other players to interfere during chest carries.
Prepare a speed-focused pet setup now so you can swap into Raptor, Kirin, or a Kirin-plus-Mimic pairing as soon as the hourly event appears.
Leaked pets in the next update
| Pet | Ability |
|---|---|
| Sand Castle Crocus | Every 12 minutes and 51 seconds, targets a random fruit with Sandy and/or Tidal mutation and converts it into a random sand castle cosmetic; favorited fruit is ignored. |
| Jellyfish | Every 12 minutes and 51 seconds, stings a fruit or pet. Fruits have a 26.6% chance to gain Static, Tidal, and Shocked; otherwise, one random mutation is lost. Pets have a 26.6% chance to gain 10,820 XP and advance cooldown by 2 minutes and 20 seconds; otherwise, the pet loses one level. |
| Hippocampus | Every 31 minutes and 28 seconds, channels a current for 10.10 seconds. Pets within 30.30 studs gain 99 XP per second; fruits have a 3.5% chance to gain Sandy, Sandy fruits become Tidal, and Tidal fruits turn to Gold. |
These three pets point toward a summer update built around Sandy, Tidal, cosmetics, and pet XP. Jellyfish is the riskiest of the set because its failed rolls can remove a fruit mutation or take a level from a pet, while Hippocampus looks like the strongest XP support pet in the leak.
Current Summer content is separate
The currently available summer framework is centered on High Tide Harvest, not Treasure Hunt. At the top of each hour, High Tide begins, the tide rises, and the sand castle accepts valid submissions for 10 minutes.
That live loop uses Summer Fruits and fruits with the Tidal mutation. The same summer cycle also includes Team Harvest, the Summer Seed Shop, sand castle submissions, and the Lagoon Lily reward track.
Treasure Hunt is not part of those current event notes. The broad next-update slot around July 18, 2026 is where players are watching for Chest Conquest to appear, but its exact release timing and final values can still change before launch.
