You’ve reached the tomb, and it’s time to get the treasure! Do you play it safe and take the small pieces of treasure, or risk it all to get the big score? This suspense-filled digital game challenges students to put their number knowledge to the test in a race for the most valuable loot.

In this game, students view sets of numbers and must identify the ones that are in the correct order. Focusing on numbers up to 120, the game supports number sequencing, ordering, and place value understanding. Each correct answer earns a piece of treasure, but players can choose to risk their prize for a chance at something greater—just beware of falling through the trap door if they get it wrong!
