The summer Treasure Hunt in Dress to Impress runs entirely in Freeplay. You need to find five colored gems to open a locked cave on the beach, solve a seashell puzzle inside to earn the Trident, and dig up seven buried chests scattered around the map for exclusive items and coins.
Quick answer: Complete the five gem quests (Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, Purple), place all five in the star lock to open the cave, set three pink seashells on the pedestals inside for the Trident, then dig the seven marked mounds across the map.
Where to start the Treasure Hunt
Everything happens in Freeplay mode. Use the Teleport button in the bottom-left corner to jump into Freeplay, then head toward the beach. The locked star-shaped door sits on the right side of the beach, near the large cave entrance. It stays sealed until all five gems are collected, so gather the gems first.

You can complete the gems in any order. The steps below are grouped by difficulty, starting with the quickest quests and ending with the longest.

Green Gem: dig in the Backrooms
Yellow Gem: light all five lanterns
This is the longest gem quest. Five lanterns are placed around the town, and you light each one by clicking on it. Lighting the fifth lantern spawns the Yellow Gem on the path.

| Lantern | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| 1 | Outside the orange house |
| 2 | Outside the upper orange house |
| 3 | On the wall near the recording studio |
| 4 | On the balcony of the pink house |
| 5 | Near the freeplay stairs (spawns the gem) |
Red Gem: the flying bird mini-game
Purple Gem: the beach ball and volleyball match

Open the cave and unlock the Trident
With all five gems in hand, return to the star lock on the beach and place them to open the cave door. You will see the “3/5 Gems Found” style counters climb as you collect, and the door opens once you reach five.
Inside the cave, three stone pedestals wait for three pink seashells. Collect each shell and set it on a pedestal.
| Seashell | Location |
|---|---|
| 1 | On the stone arch ledge |
| 2 | On the shipwreck barrels |
| 3 | Behind a barrel near the ship |

Once the third shell is placed, an “Unlocked: TRIDENT” message confirms the accessory is yours.
All seven treasure chest locations
Speak with the pirate NPC Scarlet Fierce on the beach to begin the chest hunt. Then dig up the seven buried mounds around the map. Each dig updates the counter from “1/7 Chests found” up to “7/7 Chests found,” and each chest gives either currency or an exclusive item.
| Chest | Where to dig | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Beach shoreline near the water | +200 currency |
| 2 | Grassy island near the green water slide | Flower Basket |
| 3 | Lower ledge beneath the recording studio wall | +200 currency |
| 4 | Behind the yellow building next to the flowers | Stars |
| 5 | Underneath the wooden stairs behind the main lobby | Leggings |
| 6 | Narrow alley between the red and orange houses | Custom Face |
| 7 | Sandy alleyway next to the pink house | Gold Dress |

Tip: Freeplay servers restart on a timer, and a “Freeplay servers will restart in 5 minutes!” warning appears before each reset. Plan your route so you are not mid-dig when the server cycles.

Once the counter reads 7/7 and the gem lock shows 5/5, you have cleared the full Treasure Hunt. The Trident sits in your accessories, and the chest rewards, including the Gold Dress and Flower Basket, are added to your inventory for use on the runway.
