Calling all Treasure Hunters! It's time to put your skills to the test in a new treasure hunting mode. Coming this Genesis Week, the Standard Treasure Rush mode comes to Upland to challenge you to find as many Treasures as possible in a given time period! The Treasure Rush is available starting Monday, June 6th, at 6:00 AM PT and the last instance starts Thursday, June 9th at 10:00 PM PT. Tons of UPX and Spark are up for grabs and the Uplander who finds the most Treasures in the Treasure Rush mode will earn an entry into the Genesis Week Grand Prize Giveaway for a chance to win the one-of-a-kind MV Motors Series 1 Genesis Trim!
Treasure Rush is a new Standard Hunting mode that is available from Monday, June 6th, at 6:00 AM PT with the last instance starting Thursday, June 9th at 10:00 PM PT. In this mode, Uplanders are challenged to spawn and collect as many treasures as possible in the 30 minute period; no sends will be consumed while hunting. The more Treasures you find, the higher you will place on each City’s leaderboard.
When the Treasure Rush mode is active in a city, you can start your 30-minute Rush at any time from the Treasures tab in-game. Hunt for treasures as you typically would and send your Block Explorer around the city to locate the hidden Treasure. As you hunt for Treasures in this mode, no Sends will be used (though you will still need to pay Send/Visitor Fees) and rewards are dynamic, based on the treasure hunting tier. Most times you will find a Blue Treasure with a small amount of UPX but occasionally may find a Gold Treasure Chest with a large amount of UPX! Each time you find a Treasure, pay a small fee (10 UPX) to spawn the next Treasure and continue hunting. Keep finding treasures until the timer expires and see how you compare to other top Treasure Hunters on city specific leaderboards!
To give all Uplanders a chance to compete in the Treasure Rush Challenge, the Treasure Rush Mode will be active in various cities throughout Genesis Week. The schedule is grouped by City Treasure Hunting Tier and rotates in timing throughout Genesis Week. Each instance lasts for 2 hours and you must initiate your 30-minute Treasure Rush in this window.
For example, on Monday, June 6th, 2022 at 6:00 AM PT, the Treasure Rush Mode will be active in Tier 1 Cities and remain active until 8:00 AM PT. You must start your Rush in this time and once you begin, you will be able to complete the entire 30-minute Rush.
Note: There are currently no Tier 3 Treasure Hunting cities in Upland.
In addition to the UPX from Treasures you collect during your Treasure Rush, the top hunters on the leaderboard will be rewarded with UPX and Spark! Each city’s instance has its own leaderboard so there are plenty of chances to show you are the best Treasure Hunter! The leaderboards for each city can be found in-game under the Challenges tab. Rewards for the Treasure Rush are based on the city tier and are outlined below.
Note: UPX will be awarded at the end of the Treasure Rush instance and Spark will be awarded shortly after Genesis Week.
Want to show you are truly the best Treasure Hunter? Compete for the top spot on the Master Hunter Challenge Leaderboard and earn an entry into the Genesis Week Grand Prize Giveaway for a chance to win the one-of-a-kind MV Motors Series 1 Genesis Trim! This leaderboard counts how many Treasures that you have found in the Treasure Rush Mode throughout the week. Maximize your score by completing multiple Treasure Rushes in different cities. As with other leaderboards, the Master Hunter Challenge Leaderboard can be found in-game under the Challenges tab.
We are excited to bring this new Treasure Hunting mode to Upland and can’t wait to see who are the best treasure hunters! Now sharpen those Treasure hunting skills, hone your best strategy, and show us what you got!

Will players be able to do several consecutive tries in the same city as long as it's within the time window?
Can I hunt in multiple cities of the same tier during the same time period?
Do I have to claim the rewards from Treasures each time?
