Treasure World


Treasure World, released by Aspyr, is an unique game. It is not the same as the most games. It combines your real world and video game.

It functions as Wi-Fi sniffer; you use it to collect signals, which then translate into in-game treasures. The treasures are then used to customize your world and create musical arrangements.

To collect the Wi-Fi signal, you have to run the Treasure World and then close your DS. This will hibernate the DS, but Treasure World keeps working. When you bring the DS in hotspot area, it will collect the signals. So you have to bring the DS from one hotspot area to another. This will randomly generate stardust that you then trade for treasures.

Treasure World is about searching and collecting. It is about finding treasure, playing around with it, and decorating in-game environments.
