## Key points

- Ubisoft's month-long AC Black Flag Resynced treasure hunt was solved within days
- Players found all three hidden chests, skipping the weekly clue schedule
- Rewards included in-game currency and the legendary Uncrowned Prince rapier

## Summary

Ubisoft ran a community treasure hunt for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, planning to drip-feed cryptic location clues each Friday through July to lead players to three hidden pirate chests. Instead, players cracked all three spatial puzzles within days of launch, well ahead of the intended pace, which mattered because it undercut the campaign's design of sustaining weeks of community engagement and speculation.

The three chests yielded rewards including significant in-game currency and rare legendary gear such as the Uncrowned Prince rapier. With the treasure found almost immediately thanks to what players described as remarkably lucky guesswork, Ubisoft's staggered clue schedule was left largely redundant, and the hunt concluded far sooner than planned.
