Lost Treasure (board game)

Deduction and Guessing Games

Lost Treasure is a board game published in 1982 by Parker Brothers for two to four players aged eight and up, billed at the time as an electronic deep-sea diving game. Players search the ocean floor for sunken chests of gold and silver, combining dice-driven movement with guessing mechanics as they probe hidden locations for buried treasure while racing rivals to the same finds. Setup takes five to ten minutes and a full game runs an hour or more, with an electronic sound unit reinforcing the diving theme that distinguished it from Parker Brothers more conventional board games of the period.
