Singapore’s Treasure Hunt Gets a Grand Upgrade
After a month of suspense, the elusive mouse finally emerged from hiding—this time worth a cool $100,000.
Meet the Unsung Heroes
- Shafiq — 21 years old, turned detective in search of gold.
- Wesley — 30 years old, with a knack for clues.
Both found the glittering coin on Jalan Naung beneath the lamp post No. 12 on December 13, marking the breakthrough that endears the mystery to every Singaporean.
Sharing the Treasure
In a sweet twist, the duo decided to split the prize with seven other players who were instrumental in cracking the code. The beneficiaries’re still shaking in their boots, but the reward is already being divided.
Name that location? There’s no hidden cash—just a single gold coin waiting to be swapped for the grand prize.
More Gold Left in the Game
Squkii, the organizer—ex-lich—a faded piece of the puzzle—let us know that although the thirty‑thrush prize is claimed, there are still three silver coins worth $1,000 each jockey around the city for those who dare to seek.
Busters Outlook
While the treasure has been claimed, the hunt for the silver bones continues. Successful wizards, maybe you’re next.

What’s the Buzz About this Year’s Treasure Hunt?
It started with a quirky poem that set the scene:
- More often than not, you give me a shock.
- I know how hard you fought, to become an astronaut, so while deep in thought, don’t forget the moon shot.
- As I slumber in my spot, I must not, must not, be caught with an apricot.
That lil’ rhyme gave the whole event a playful vibe. And if you thought the last reveal was just fun, think again—over 210,000 people jumped in last time.
Where’s the Coin?
Forget the usual suspects: it’s not under the sea, buried on the ground, hanging in the sky, or stashed somewhere private. The organisers are keeping the clues tight‑rope‑tight.
How Did the 2023 Hunt Unfold?
Back in ’23, an OCBC‑sponsored trek ended on Day 23. A 46‑year‑old guy named Mr. Ting found the golden token tucked beneath a lamppost just outside Marina South Pier.
Players could buy extra hints from Sqkii’s partners—an extra cash‑add‑on for the adventurous.
Is This Year Sponsored?
We’re still waiting for confirmation. No obvious backing has been announced yet.
Netizens Have a Few Grumbles
- “Jasonhanjk” slammed the hunt: “99 % of the clues are rubbish. Not joining this rubbish game. Have to spend money on clues but actually worthless.”
- “lampano” added, “Not going to take the bait. End of the day, they’ll have more excuses for their errors.”
Despite the criticism, the promise of free cash is stirring up quite a bit of excitement.
“Taking MC to find coin nao [sic]!”—A Chatter
Some people are ready to dive in—for and against the bling‑blanks to go before the hunt officially kicks off.
Hunt The Mouse Starts Today—No Yesterday Debacle!
Get the scoop: everyone’s been calling it a “yesterday” launch, but the truth is the Hunt The Mouse adventure kicked off just this morning. Yep, it’s the latest sensation, and it’s still fresh on the scene.
Where Did The Clues Come From?
Contrary to what some people think, last year’s participants snatched up more clues not through the app but at Sqkii’s partner merchants. That means if you ever wanted a taste of the hunt, you’d head over to the stores, grab a clue, and then dive into the game.
Quick Recap
- Launch Date: Today, not yesterday.
- Clue Purchase: Merchants last year, not the app.
- Stay Updated: Keep an eye on the email for the latest tips.
So, if you’re ready to chase that mouse, remember the correct timing and the right place to snag your clues. Good luck, and may your nose for clues be ever sharp!
