It’s a treasure-hunting game with a simplified airport scene. There are 7 treasure boxes with different tasks in the game scene. Players are required to find all of them and complete the tasks to get golden coins.

When open a treasure box, players are asked to complete task. By then, it will trigger the next task.

Airport Scene

First part is the game scene construction. The airport scene includes common facilities in a real airport. Then search and download these objects on the Internet.

There should be equipment like Counter Desk, check-in desk, security machine and so on.

Interaction
