Guides
Two of them, and they answer different questions. If the chest is somewhere and you cannot spot it, that is a reading problem. If there is no chest, no circle, or the Playlist never ticked off, that is something else entirely — and the fixes do not overlap.
Start from the symptom, not the region
Questions about these hunts nearly all arrive phrased as “where is the chest”, and often that is not the question being asked. Sorting it takes one look at your own screen.
You have a photo and a region, and you have been driving for twenty minutes. That is the reading guide. The clue wording is identical every single week — the same sentence on every hunt we have on record — so there is no riddle in the text and nothing to decode. What you are doing is picking the one object in frame that is not everywhere in that region, and that skill is learnable from past weeks.
There is no circle on your map, or you drove into the chest and nothing happened. That is the troubleshooting guide, and the first thing it does is ask which of three separate collectibles you are actually looking at. Treasure Hunts, Treasure Cars and the paid Treasure Map add-on all use the word, and advice for one does nothing for the others — most “the hunt is broken” reports resolve there rather than at a bug.
You found it last night and the challenge has vanished. Neither guide, and no bug: the Playlist rolls over every Thursday at 14:30 UTC and takes the week's hunt with it. What was there is on the archive now.
The clue wording never changes, so the picture is the whole puzzle. Worked through on the 6 hunts we have on record — what was in frame, which detail actually mattered, and three things a photo will never tell you. Read this one if you know the region and still cannot find the thing.
Three separate things in FH6 are called treasure, and most reports of a broken hunt are one of them mistaken for another. Includes the widely repeated “fixes” we could not find a source for, marked as such. Read this one if there is nothing to find.
What neither guide will give you
Neither of them is a walkthrough of this week. Both are written to still be true in six months, which means they stop exactly where week-specific detail begins — the coordinates live on the archive and on the front page, not here.
Neither invents a fix. The troubleshooting page carries a short list of remedies that circulate widely and that we could not trace to any player or developer report, and it labels them unverified instead of deleting them — knowing that the advice going around has no origin is more useful than a page that quietly omits it.
And neither claims to know what happens to a chest you found but did not smash before the reset. It is an obvious question, we could not source an answer, so both pages say so rather than guessing.
Where to go next
This week’s hunt
The current chest, with its sources and whether we checked it.
Every hunt on record
The evidence base both guides are written from, week by week, with the weeks we are still missing named rather than skipped.
How we check a location
What “re-checked” and “sourced only” mean, and the week we found our whole region table had come from a game-currency reseller.
