The Treasure Key is a new feature in Adopt Me that lets you unlock hidden treasure chests during special tide cycles. But using it isn’t as straightforward as clicking a button — you’ll need to know when and where to look. In this guide, we’ll break down how the Treasure Key works, when to use it, and where to find treasure chests on the beach.
What Is the Treasure Key?
The Treasure Key is an item that allows you to open locked treasure chests that appear along the beach in Adopt Me. These chests only show up during a specific condition: low tide. Without the key, you won’t be able to open these chests and claim the rewards inside.
When Can You Use the Treasure Key?
You can only use the Treasure Key during low tide. The game cycles between high tide and low tide, and you need to wait until the tide is low for treasure chests to become visible. How to tell it’s low tide:
- The waterline on the beach recedes.
- Parts of the beach that were underwater are now exposed.
- You may get an in-game notification or visual cue signaling low tide.
Once the tide is low, treasure chests will begin to appear in various spots along the beach.
How to Find and Open Treasure Chests
Here’s how to use the Treasure Key properly:
- Head to the Beach
When the tide lowers, go straight to the beach area. You’ll need to look around carefully, especially in the newly uncovered areas. - Search for Chests
Walk along the beach and scan both dry and shallow areas. Some chests may be hidden slightly underwater or near rocks. - Use the Treasure Key
When you find a chest that glows or has an interaction prompt, walk up to it and use your Treasure Key to unlock it. Not all chests are interactive — some may just be decoration, so keep checking until you find one that works. - Claim Your Rewards
Once opened, the chest will reward you with in-game items, currency, or other bonuses. The contents can vary, so it’s worth opening multiple chests when you get the chance.
Tips for Treasure Hunting
- Be patient: Not every chest you see can be opened. Keep checking during each low tide cycle.
- Keep multiple keys: If possible, carry more than one Treasure Key so you can open more than one chest in a single session.
- Watch for underwater chests: Some might be partially submerged or hidden behind rocks.
- Play during active low tide windows: Stay near the beach and wait for the tide to drop so you don’t miss your chance.
The Treasure Key in Adopt Me adds a fun twist to exploration. You’ll need to pay attention to the tide and search carefully for treasure chests hidden around the beach. With the right timing and a bit of luck, you can unlock some exciting rewards. So, get your Treasure Key ready, watch for low tide, and start your beach hunt. You never know what loot you’ll uncover!
