Treasure Hunt (ko|보물찾기) is a South Korean survival reality game show that aired on the streaming platform TVING from its premiere on December 2, 2022 to January 20, 2023. Twenty-four contestants compete in a treasure hunt to find a ₩500 million (US$373,000) prize.[2] New episodes aired every Friday at 4 PM.
Director Chae Sung-wook and screenwriter Kim Jung-sun compared the show to an experiment, where they observed how adults will behave in what is considered a childhood game. With monetary issues becoming more and more important, they wanted to observe how the participants' determination and attitude shined in a childhood survival game.
The show had a large realistic set, with built-in hidden mechanisms and levers to further develop an all-encompassing environment for the participants.[3]
