    It is just random.
    There are often people on the AC who post winning links but most of the times you won't win anything by clicking the same links.

    Edit: Just found this board, maybe it is interesting to check ;)

    Bet I'm going to sound really stoooopid here, but has anyone else noticed when you click on the buried treasue map, the whole picture acts as the link - like, I get a border round it like I get when I click any link ... so doesn't that mean that the boxes aren't actually separate, it's just one big box that gives a random outcome, and you would get the same result no matter where in it you click .... ?!?

    Oh, and I always click the centre of the compass ... it's my OCD's ... gotta keep 'em happy :)

    Nope. Try moving with your mouse and you'll see that each spot has different coordinates, therefore it is not a random place, you can choose for it. That's why there are boards with coordinates of where they won because people believe the treasure/big prizes is/are near winning spots.

    Yes, I see what you're saying, but I don't believe the co-ordinates prove anything, but I do understand why people would think they do. I still stick by my original opinion ... stubborn I know, but unless someone posts some kind of definate proof I still think it's one big link with random results.

    (sorry)

    I play that game like every day. I've never one ONCE. I'm not kidding.... The window goes black after I click something in the flash window.... Maybe my adblocker...

    Possibly, I had problems with Test your Strength for a while doing that. Deleted cookies/temp files etc and it seemed to work fine after that. If not submit a bug report?

    On Buried Treasure, from the guides I've read, the treasure "floats" around the map in a 3x3 coordinate area in which the middle is the jackpot, and surrounding/nearby areas are lower prizes, or booby prizes.

    I chose the coordinates 317, 200 earlier today and won 500np (though that's it for what I've ever won), so if someone else wants to try out clicking near there, maybe we can verify that theory?

    There's usually a board that tries to trace the location of the treasure by having people post coordinates and results.

    Keep at it, you'll get it eventually. I've been trying to get Snowager and Turmac for *years* :(

    I don't know if its random, you see i clicked a spot right and i won 3k. So i remembered the EXACT spot and went on my other acc. I clicked a spot close to it and again won 5k. So i guess there you go.

    In a sense, it's not random, those on the AC sometimes post a board with a winning link and at least 25% of those people that try it win, from my experience.

    Buried Treasure makes me mad.. I've almost never won from someone posting their winning link. I guess it's the same with all the other random crap on neo.. persistence is the key.

    I'm quite sure winning spots don't move far so if you win some neopoints remember where you clicked and move one across from it ^^

    I try to use the treasure-drifts-around theory, and sometimes it seems to work, the rest of the time it doesn't.

    Regardless, I still play it at least once a day for the sake of hopefully someday attaining the avatar.
