Game Description
You have this magical island with magical treasure. The chance for you to become the ‘King of Seven Seas’ is just few moments away as the treasure would disappear after seven minutes of you stepping on to the island. You need to start your hunt with first collecting silver coins (10 points each) to reach the Silver stage (at least 3 silver in your boat) and then gold coins (20 points each) to reach the Gold stage (at least 2 gold). But keep in mind that you can go for Gold stage only if you have once passed the Silver stage. Once you have passed the Silver stage and the Gold stage, then the KOHINOOR diamond becomes accessible. But after capturing KOHINOOR diamond you need to capture a gold coin as well within the next span of 5 sec to 15 sec, otherwise it will vanish from your boat and will appear at its initial position again. Another gem in the treasure is the HOPE DIAMOND which carries no point and is accessible throughout the hunt. In case of equal score points at the end of the hunt, the pirate with HOPE DIAMOND will be considered the ‘King of Seven Seas’. Besides this, you have the chance to steal the treasure of other pirate by moving the paddle(A rotatory rod pivoted at boat’s edge) of his boat but not going into the boat. At last the pirate with most points will be declared as ‘KING OF SEVEN SEAS’
Important points
- You need to cross the Silver stage just once. If after collecting at least 3 silver coins, you went for gold coins and in meantime, opponent removed your silver coins, you need not to collect them again to go for Gold Stage. Stage once passed will be marked as PASSED.
- Above point goes for Gold Stage as well. KOHINOOR doesn’t require the presence of at least 3 silver and 2 gold coins in your boat. But you must have crossed Silver stage and Gold Stage at some point of time to get KOHINOOR.
- Opponent can’t enter your boat and vice-versa is also applicable.
- If you accidently paddle out treasure from your boat, then that treasure will be considered out of your boat and you will not get any scores for that.
- Hope diamond has no points.
But in case of a tie, the Hope diamond will serve as tie breaker. The pirate with Hope diamond will be considered winner. In case, if hope diamond is not with any of the pirates and the scores are equal, then the priority order for the consideration of winner will be:
- Pirate with KOHINOOR
- Pirate with more gold coins.
The points of the coin or diamond will be given only if it is completely inside the boundary of the boat. In any case of dispute, the decision of coordinators will be entertained.

- After passing Silver stage and Gold stage, you can go for the hunt of Kohinoor diamond (blue colored diamond). To capture Kohinoor diamond, there are certain rules-
- As soon as you put Kohinoor diamond in your boat, a hope time starts. You need to stay still for first 5 seconds of Hopetime i.e., You cannot put any other coin for first 5 seconds in your boat after you put Kohinoor diamond in your boat, however you can defend your boat from the opponent in the meantime. Then from 6 th second to 15 th second you have to put a gold coin inside your boat, then only the Kohinoor diamond will be considered as captured by you. In any other case, the Kohinoor diamond will return back to its initial position in island.
- Once Kohinoor is successfully inside your boat, the only way Kohinoor can come out is by using paddle.
