Stop calling me a gimp, I'm a Pirate!!!

Found three pieces so far. and I was able to fit them together in good old Paint. No scale problem here.

All three of my pieces fit together using MS Paint. No scaling needed. Maybe it's how you printed them that is the problem.

Make sure you have "Transparent selection" turned on Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

"The first time "treasure" popped up there wasn't a map piece on the item page. You had to be there."


Just a lie to try to weed out competitors.

The word TREASURE should be in all caps.

It's such a mysterious, arcane, ancient secret, even I was unaware of it!

Aha! Thank you Jason I think I've got it. Still not sure how to put the pieces together, but I'll figure it out...maybe. Yay I'm so excited!

Lol, I've got all three pieces so far and have them put together, but even looking at the thing put together I'm not really sure what I'll need to do once the other pieces are found...

Also it looks like we're going to need several more pieces, so let's hope things move quicker than that macbook did from now on...

Here is a tip for those who are using paint: The select dropdown has a "Transparent Selection" option. When checked, this will make the white transparent and allows you to connect the pieces easier. HTH

Can I assume the Buccaneers of Caribbean will be pirate themed. Like rum flavored gum and some bootlegged copies of The Avengers.

Came here to be sure someone noticed this. Good show, what?

..aaannnd 4.

I click under treasure and nothing happens.

4th piece is up!

So what do we do when we find it? We can't click on it. Do we save the image or something?

i got 4 pieces so far....anybody got more? ive only found them on the main woot items, any luck on the home, sport, etc ones?

So I'm fail. I see these TREASUREs but I see no images. =/

here is my guidance for those requesting assistance/hand outs. Think what you would do if handed torn pieces of a real map IRL. Would you click on it? Would you look at it? Would you put it in your mouth? Would you burn the edges for the cool distressed look?
Look at the sale item, find the clues and assemble them logically. And GL getting my Booty Of Crap!!

I have OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok number 4 just popped up but i'm having a problem getting the transparent thing in paint

They are cleverly hidden with the other images.

Think E.T.

By me guesstimation, there will be 5-6 more pieces to go (unless there will be some very large pieces revealed). I wonder if it's possible to find the treasure now, like the map leads to somewhere that is currently available?

I'm thinking it will only work when all pieces are revealed.

Part of the X is already revealed!

Will there always be a fragment? I have clicked on the details page and see no map.

I kind of hope it's up already; that way if someone is really clever [not me] they could find it early, rather than everyone racing for it at once.

OK, what do we do with the completed map?

(When it is completed.)

Up to four...

I don't understand how we "win". Do we have to have both maps to understand it all? I don't get it.........

Or do it the old fashioned way with scissors and tape

adamant628 wrote:Part of the X is already revealed!

I don't think that is the destination, but possibly the origination. I do think the destination is shown elsewhere though.

I FIGURED IT OUT!
It's in southern Africa.

How many pieces to one map?
