Follow the map, dig up the treasure, get rich — A Simple Plan which seldom works. First, the heroes have to find the map. If they're lucky, someone will conveniently drop dead at their feet with the map on them; if they're less lucky it will have been hidden in some old heirloom. If they're really unlucky, it'll have been cut up into pieces, each held by a different group of treasure hunters; the heroes will have to collect all the pieces before they can even start looking for the treasure. Next, they'll need to find the starting point, the right tropical isle or hidden cave. Getting there may be an adventure in itself. Once there, the heroes have to find the actual location of the treasure. This can be as simple as "X" Marks the Spot", or "fifteen paces south of the dead pine" (though might find that fifteen paces for one of their group doesn't cover the same distance for another, and there's always the possibility that the landmark is no longer around - trees fall down or catch fire, rivers change course, rocks roll to a new position, etc) up to having to navigate a Bamboo Technology Death Course, with only cryptic comments scrawled on the map to help them find the safe route through. If Status Quo Is God either the treasure will turn out to be worthless or the heroes will have to abandon it for the greater good. Expect at least one group of antagonists to be on the heroes' heels throughout all this. If both sides have a copy of the map, and the treasure goes to whoever gets to it first, expect some "No Rules" Racing to occur. The treasure can range from criminal loot and pirate gold to ancient temples and powerful MacGuffins. The heroes will never think about handing it over to the authorities. The Adventurer Archaeologist will often come across treasure maps. This trope is also a form of A MacGuffin Full of Money. This trope is often associated with Pirate Booty, despite the fact that pirates rarely buried treasure - the typical pirate would spend most of his income from a voyage outfitting the ship for the next one, and squander the rest on high living before setting out on said voyage (Given that piracy is a rather high-risk career, there's a pretty good chance that a pirate who cached his loot with the intent to spend it some years later wouldn't be alive at the time he planned to dig it up. As the pirates were smart enough to know this, they spent most of their loot at the first opportunity they got). A Treasure Map does not always have to be a literal map, as in topographical chart. Encrypted messages often form an essential part of a Treasure Map, and sometimes an encrypted message is the map. If it turns out that the map isn't real, it's a Fool's Map. In a series that doesn't usually feature this plot, see the Sub-Trope Treasure Hunt Episode, or otherwise Pirate Episode. See also Never Win the Lottery. Examples |

Romancing SaGa pulls this off well several times: One Treasure is the Opal of Wind that was stolen by Captain Silver from the Bafal Empire, Silver employed Gecklings to haul the treasure in a cave in the jungle, and then killed off all but one who escaped; the one who escaped created a map to get there. You will get this when you complete the Gecklings request regardless. The Second is the Moonstone which is hidden in Twinmoon Temple, but you need to get the directions in an ancient language and decipher it in order to get the keys to enter the temple, however you have to be quick in getting it because if you do not, Hawke will get it, which is a better idea since you can pull Wutai Theft on him to get the directions. Also you can find maps to regular treasure throughout the game, often more valuable than other treasure you can find. |

In Mampato and the pirates, there is a treasure and a map, but the only one who knows where this is an extremely irritating and rude parrot (when the villains get him drunk in an attempt to reveal the place where the treasure is hidden, the only thing that they get a lot of insults loudly). But after an accident with a little powder, the mystery is discovered: He has the map tattooed on his skin, they only discover it after he lost all his feathers. | |

The Simpsons: In an episode, Bart and Grandpa do find the treasure, and it's not worthless, but it's immediately seized by the US State Department for return to its original owners. Another episode subverted the idea with a parody of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World - the criminal lied about the treasure to give himself the time to escape from prison. Of course, the Springfieldians are too stupid to realize that there's no treasure, even after they find a note from the crook telling them the truth. |

His old crew know what island it's on but not where exactly it's buried — there was a map, but it mysteriously disappeared after the first mate killed him for it. The map never does reappear, but the protagonist figures out what happened to it, which gives him to clue to where the treasure was buried. | |

Tattered Maps in Wayward provide a very grainy image of some place in the game world. If you keep trying to read it, your cartography skill will increase and you'll get more hints such as the map image being larger and less covered up, the general direction of the treasure, and the approximate distance. If you manage to find and dig at the precise right space, you'll find a treasure chest with random items that may or may not be worth the trouble. And a number of powerful enemies might suddenly spawn. | |

According to Moist, any criminal worth the title would simply remember where he's stashed the loot.

Final Fantasy XIV has treasure maps inside bottles that players can find while mining, fishing, or doing botany. The map shows a small section of the regional map and a red X indicating where the treasure coffer is located. After digging up the coffer, trying to open it will always have a group of monsters attack you since the coffer is rigged with a trap and you have to kill all the monsters before you can open the coffer for its contents (usually rare materials, tomestones, gil, or even a more rare treasure map). Certain coffers summon beasts so numerous and deadly that the map's tooltip recommends bringing a full party of players — these coffers also have a chance of summoning a portal to a dungeon full of even more treasure. | |

The four take a complicated map off a mugger in The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World. They're told it leads to a mine. “Why would we want to go to a mine?” George sensibly asks. The woman they asked tells them the mine is probably infested with monsters or bandits and must hold something good, since it requires a rare jump gem to get there. The four decide the map must have been given them by the gods to point them to the amulet Ringo wants so badly. However, when they finally get the requisite jump gem and go to the valley where the mine is, they discover that another adventuring party has beaten them there and is just about to come out with the spoils. Hilarity Ensues. | |

An episode of Xena: Warrior Princess included the search for a large, hidden treasure with a treasure map that had been ripped into several pieces. The different people looking for the map were forced to work together as they had memorized their portions of the map and then destroyed them. Most of the treasure was the usual gold trinkets, but it included a plate of Ambrosia, which would supposedly would turn whoever ate it into a god. | |

Another episode subverted the idea with a parody of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World - the criminal lied about the treasure to give himself the time to escape from prison. Of course, the Springfieldians are too stupid to realize that there's no treasure, even after they find a note from the crook telling them the truth. | |

There are several treasure maps to be found by the player in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, each leading to a particular location with a wooden chest containing loot equivalent to a large chest from the end of a dungeon. In the Dragonborn DLC, one particular map (obtained by besting a group of pirates) provides the locations of each piece of the Deathbrand armour, which belonged to the long-dead pirate king Haknir Death-Brand. | |

Pirate Master is centered around a fictional story of the pirate captain Henry Steel and the Treasure of Zanzibar. After acquiring the treasure, Steel divided the loot into 14 parts and hid them across the island of Dominica. A special chest, the Chest of Zanzibar, contains fifteen locked compartments, each containing maps and clues to help find one of the stashes. Fourteen of the keys — all but the key for the first compartment — are each hidden with one of the hidden treasures; thus, the treasures must be found, and the compartments opened, in a predetermined order. The final compartment contains a map showing the location of every gold stash on the island of Dominica, leading to the grand prize. | |

It gets stolen by a vindictive fellow prisoner who's due for release.

The "Kitchen Irish" arc of The Punisher MAX revolves around a modern version of this trope. An evil elderly Irish gangster had willed three map coordinates that would lead to his hidden money somewhere in New York, and given each to a different gang leader, knowing that they all hated both him and each other and would tear each other apart trying to get the others coordinates after he died. On the off-chance that they ever decided to put the hostilities on hold and find the treasure together (which they do at the climax of the story), it turns out the treasure wasn't even real, it was just a bomb with the word CUNTS! carved into the C4 attached to it. | |

Monk notably inverts this in one episode: Troy, the disrespecting, rebellious teenage son of Dr. Charles Kroger, Monk's psychiatrist, found what appeared to be a treasure map inside of a dead criminal's hand while playing hookie. He then ends up dragging Monk along to find the treasure. Turns out the map didn't lead to treasure at all. Here's what really happened: during the robbery, one of the robbers, Jack Connolly, was mortally wounded when he was shot by a guard (who was promptly killed by Jack's partner, said criminal that Troy's friends got the map from after he died of a heart attack). This proved trouble for Jack's brother Steven, who happened to be the bank's assistant branch manager (and had planned the heist with him), after Jack succumbed hours later, since the police would know the robbery was an inside job if the body was identified. So the heart attack criminal was drawn a map that indicated where to bury the body. | |

Popeye has a treasure map hidden somewhere in his house in an Al Brodax-produced episode, so the Sea Hag employs a circus midget to impersonate Swee'Pea and search for the map while she kidnaps the real Swee'Pea. Presumably successful, the midget and Sea Hag take off for the treasure (giving back Swee'Pea) while Popeye was hip to the plot all along. The map the Sea Hag has is a bogus map while the real map was used as Swee'Pea's diaper. Two theatrical Popeye cartoons also dealt with following a map to a treasure, which Bluto covets. |

One side-arc of One Piece featured a character who, while following a treasure map, got stuck in a box and was unable to claim the treasure (several chests at the top of a cliff). The trope was subverted when Luffy climbed the cliff for him and found the treasure chests were empty - someone else had taken the treasure long before the first guy got there. The Road Poneglyphs are four stone blocks that have locations written on them. When all four locations are plotted on a map, they'll form an X on the location of Raftel, the island where One Piece is held. |

Averted in the Tintin two-part story "The Secret of the Unicorn" and "Red Rackham's Treasure"; the necessary information is not a map, but three papers that when held together reveal the coordinates of the sunken ship's location. Even then, Tintin had to reckon with Capt'n Haddock using the Paris Meridian and not the Prime Meridian for his starting point and even then, the whole message on the papers really meant that the treasure was actually hidden in Marlinspike Hall. At one point they misunderstand the map, thinking the treasure is buried on the Island, then after digging realize that Sir Francis wouldn't have left the treasure on the island and never come back for it. | |

On the Sponge Bob Square Pants episode "Aargh!", Spongebob, Patrick and Mr. Krabs play a board game called Dutchman's Treasure, which Krabs becomes obsessed with. The next day, Krabs claims to have a real treasure map and takes Spongebob and Patrick on a journey to find it. Later, the map turns out to be the game board, which Krabs had taken for a real map. However, it does turns out to be a real treasure map, as they do find the treasure, only for the Flying Dutchman to take it back. He did give Spongebob and Patrick a gold doubloon for digging it up for him, while Mr. Krabs got a little plastic treasure chest based on the real thing. |

Treasure Hunt. Contestants in the studio were given a clue to the location of another clue, and the game consisted of Anneka/Annabel being flown to the location of each clue so the contestants could figure out where she had to find the next clue, etc. The object of the game was to solve the last clue and find the "treasure" within the allotted time. | |

Oceans in Minecraft are littered with shipwrecks in which you can find maps with spots marked with an "X". If you dig in these marked spots you may find a chest containing valuable loot, including exclusive "Hearts of the Sea" used as components in conduits, structures that provide various benefits to nearby players in water. | |

In The Sign of Four: Sherlock Holmes' Greatest Case, Small gives Sholto and Marston a map indicating where the treasure is hidden in the fortress. After Sholto murders Marston, the map ends up in Marston's personal effects and is eventually passed on to his daughter. She gives it to Holmes who is able to deduce from it what this case is really about. | |

The Monkey Island series features this often. Notably the Treasure hunting trial in the first game (also a slight subversion, since the Treasure Map was actually a set of dance instructions, and the treasure was a T-shirt), and the quest for Big Whoop in the second, where finding all pieces of the map took up most of the game. Guybrush was very unlucky in the third game, when he had to get the map off of some guy's back. The map was actually sunburned skin. Rottingham said it perfectly: "That's your map? Eeeew." |

In the Sherlock Holmes stories, the eponymous "Musgrave Ritual" was in fact a set of steps to find where the crown of Charles I had been hidden. The story glosses over the point that given that the ritual was created circa 1650 and utilized circa 1870, it was only chance that the instructions in the ritual weren't hopelessly inaccurate (The starting point of the ritual is determined by the shadow cast by a certain tree when the sun was above a second tree. After 220 years, both trees would have grown, changing the angle of the sun and the length of the shadow. In addition, all later directions were marked in steps, which vary from person to person. Had the treasure been buried rather than stashed in a hidden basement, they'd have never found it). | |

Kit Williams' Masquerade, published in 1979, was a picture book containing clues to a real hidden treasure: a jeweled rabbit crafted by the author to promote its sales. In a subversion, the "winner" didn't actually solve the puzzle: he just used information from William's ex-girlfriend and a metal detector. It's a sad story. |

In 13 (the American remake of 13 Tzameti), a 'contestant' in the Deadly Game draws a map of where he's buried money from a heist, and tells a guard that if he dies (a likely possibility, as they're playing Russian Roulette) he can take the map off his corpse and keep half the money, as long as he gives the rest of his son. Turns out he survives, so the guard tries to murder him for the map. The other guards intervene, whereupon the contestant brandishes a blank sheet of paper to taunt him, claiming there never was any buried money. He then burns the genuine map once the guard is out of sight. | |
