It provides instructions for playing the game, which involve students or teams taking turns guessing squares on the grid until someone finds the square marked with hidden treasure.

3. How to Play
1. You can divide your class into teams, or you can let
each individual play.
2. Develop a set of review questions for your topic.
3. Open the Sunken Treasure.
4. Ask the first team a question if they get it right then the
team or individual gets to choose a square on the grid.
5. Click on their selection from the small yellow boxes at
the bottom. That box will appear on the grid and it will
show if they found the treasure or not.
6. Continue until someone finds the square with the
treasure.
*Note: Each time you use the game you will need to
change where the treasure is located. All you need to do
is click in the box that says Treasure, and type Try Again.
Then choose a square and type into it Treasure.
