The aim is to explore an Incan temple in order to find golden treasures. There are eight treasures and only six items can be carried in the inventory, so the correct treasures must be collected in order to leave the temple with the maximum score.

Notes

Although usually not credited as such, Charles Cecil mentioned Richard Turner as co-author.
