Integrated Game Play Elements
Our Games are meant to be played using a variety of the tools we provide, including the Day 1 Poem, the Daily Clues, Hints, and Advantage Clues.
Our intention is that players will use these tools in a connected way over the duration of the hunt and enjoy the real-life adventure & fun as they make progress in finding the Lamp.
The Advantage clues have been spaced out in availability and have been limited in use frequency in order to promote a more integrated & fulfilling treasure hunting experience.
Setting up multiple accounts to try and circumvent the intention of the Advantage Clues pacing time frames and frequency of use schedule will be cause for disqualification. Only one account per individual subscriber is allowed. As long as a player has a paid subscription with full access then they can use the Advantage Clues as outlined even if they are on a team or playing as a family. Teams can only share clue information with their official team members in private. Signing up for a paid account to use the Advantage Clues and then cancelling your subscription after getting the results can get a team disqualified. Any attempts to exploit access to the advantage clues is not allowed. Make sure every member of your team has set up a legitimate account with real names and accurate contact information.
Advantage Clues and Lamp Zones
Each Wish Lamp has an Inner Zone and Outer Zone that are used for specific advantage clue reference.
The Inner Zone is a 10-miles radius in which the Lamp is hidden (not necessarily in the center).
The Outer Zone extends 10 miles out from the perimeter of the Inner Zone.
Some of the location-based advantage clues are measured against the Inner Zone and some are measured against the Outer Zone.
Note on accuracy
Measurements for the location-based Advantage Clues are designed with the intention to be as accurate as possible, but variances can occur due to several factors, including user devices, ages, types, settings, updates, surroundings, GPS function, etc. Along with impacts from different web & mobile distribution services. Therefore, complete accuracy is not guaranteed and should not be expected. But they can help as an added tool in the treasure hunt and can play a role in finding the Lamp if you choose to use them.
Treasure Views
The Treasure Views Advantage Clue allows players to purchase up to Five 2-Packs of photo reveals that are taken from the perspective of the hidden lamp. Each 2 Pack has 2 images included for a total of 10 images if you purchase all Five 2 packs.
One 2 Pack is available to purchase every 30 days from the region activation date starting on Day 30. You can find the activation date for an active region on the home page of the TG$ Website.
Treasure Views are not going to be images that clearly let you know what you are looking at. They are more like puzzle pieces in that they have to be used in conjunction with other information and clues.
Additional information
- Treasure View Images can be purchased on web or mobile.
- The 2 packs will be provided in order, 1-5 no matter when you purchase them.
- Your previous purchases will appear in the Purchase History section.
Examples
Range Finder
The Range Finder allows players to place a pin on a map to have it check whether that location is within the purchased distance from the Outer Zone. Each distance is made available at different dates and can be purchased once every 30 days from the date they are made available. You can find the activation date for an active region on the home page of the TG$ Website.
How it works

Hot & Cold Barometer
The Hot-Cold Barometer Advantage Clue allows a player to activate a hot or cold interface that shows them if they are generally moving towards or away from the Outer Zone. The Barometer lasts for 10 continuous minutes.
Availability and Conditions
- The Hot-Cold Barometer only works on mobile devices.
- The Hot-Cold Barometer only unlocks for players who have successfully placed a 25-Mile using the Range Finder.

How It Works
- After purchasing this clue, tap on Start to begin.
- You can begin walking in any direction and the barometer’s needle will begin moving into the cold (blue) section, or the warm (red) section of the barometer.
- Red means getting closer
- Blue means getting further away.
- As you get further or closer to the Outer Zone the needle will go deeper into the cold or warm section.
- Once you are inside the Outer Zone the activated screen will turn red and the barometer needle will swing back and forth indicating you are within the Outer Zone.
- Note: if the screen is red upon clicking start, that means you are already inside the Outer Zone
Additional Information
- It works best when physically within 100 miles of the Outer Zone.
- Using the Barometer at a further distance may not register much or any movement in the needle.
- It is designed to use while walking. Best to use when physically at a place you want to check.
Treasure Compass
The Treasure Compass points a player in the direction of the Lamp’s Inner Zone. The Compass lasts for 10 continuous minutes.
Availability and Conditions
- The Compass only works on mobile devices.
- The Compass only unlocks for players who have successfully placed a 10-Mile pin using the Range Finder.

- The Compass is available for 2 purchases every 24 hours (Midnight-Midnight Eastern Standard Time EST)
- You must use the Compass at the time of purchase.
- DO NOT USE WHILE DRIVING. YOU CAN BE DISQUALIFIED.
How It Works
- After purchasing this clue, tap on Start to begin.
- At this time the Compass time clock will start counting down.
- The player can begin walking in any direction/rotating their device to point the compass needle towards the $ symbol and walk that direction.
- The $ symbol points to the position of the Lamp’s Inner Zone.
- The player needs to point the front portion of the compass needle towards the $ symbol and move in that direction.
- If you cross into the Inner Radius Zone the compass needle will start spinning indicating you are in the zone.
- Note: If it spins upon clicking start you are already in the Inner Zone.
Additional Information
- Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the compass to calibrate after starting the Advantage Clue, meaning the $ won’t be in the correct position on the compass, but this quickly updates.
- It is also recommended that player calibrate their own device compass. Players can look up how to calibrate their specific device compass.
- It is designed to use while walking. Best to use when physically at a place you want to check.
