Treasure Mountain: Rocks & Minerals Adventure

Gem mining just became an epic adventure.

This is not an ordinary rock kit.

Treasure Mountain combines real gem mining, an interactive adventure story, an escape room, a scavenger hunt, a treasure hunt, collectible characters, trading cards, a map, and an online educational experience—all in one unforgettable adventure.

Young explorers enter Treasure Mountain, where mischievous Grumblins have captured the Gemlets and hidden them throughout the mountain. To rescue them, kids must follow the map, make choices, solve challenges, search for clues, capture the Grumblins, and uncover real rocks and minerals buried inside their Mystery Dig.

Every discovery moves them closer to defeating the powerful Grumblie and rescuing all ten missing Gemlets.

Along the way, kids learn how scientists observe, compare, classify, and identify rocks and minerals—without ever feeling like they are completing a traditional lesson.

They are not simply reading about Earth science.

They are living the adventure.
