14 pieces 7 steps
A brown treasure chest with a gold band, a hidden treasure and a lift-off curved lid. Open it, hide a clue and send someone on a treasure hunt.
Free instructions. No account needed.
Have these shapes handy: Double curved brick.
A little before you begin
The lid lifts off; it does not hinge. Ease the plate off the rim with an adult.
The eight narrow wall bricks are 1 × 2 double-height bricks.
Count studs to check gaps and overhangs. New pieces keep their colour; earlier pieces look lighter. Before you build →
A LITTLE PREPARATION
Gather your pieces
Match the shapes and quantities. The pictures show our colours. Colour names in the steps refer to the pictures; keep useful contrasts, such as a light belly against a dark body.

WHEN THE BUILDING IS DONE
Now for the little story.
Lift off the lid and hide a folded paper clue inside. Make a trail across a paper island, then swap roles with the treasure hunter.
