Family Island Treasure Temple Guide for Beginners (2025)
The Treasure Temple is one of the most exciting limited-time events in Family Island. It’s all about smashing tiles, uncovering hidden treasures, and collecting rewards before the timer runs out. But if you don’t understand how it works, it’s easy to waste your tools and miss out on the big prizes.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through everything: what the Treasure Temple is, how to play, how to get Treasure Hammers, how to clear Gates, and the best tips to win more rewards without wasting your resources.
Let’s get into it.
What Is the Treasure Temple in Family Island?
The Treasure Temple is a time-limited mini-game where you smash tiles on a board to reveal Ancient Gems hidden underneath.
Think of it like a mix between Minesweeper and a puzzle board. Each board is called a Gate, and every Gate contains a group of hidden shapes (called silhouettes) that you must uncover.
Your main goal is to complete all the silhouettes on each board using Treasure Hammers.
Once you find every piece of every shape on a board, you clear that Gate and move on to the next one.
You’ll also get a milestone prize after each Gate.
If you complete all the Gates before the event ends, you earn a grand prize at the end.
How to Access and Start the Event
When the event is live, you’ll see a Treasure Temple icon on your island screen.
Just tap it to open the event and jump into the first Gate.
There’s no need to craft anything or unlock a new area. The game drops you right into the puzzle.
The event usually lasts between three to four days and once the timer ends it disappears. So don’t wait too long to start or you might miss the rewards.
What Are Treasure Hammers and How to Get Them
You can’t do anything in the Treasure Temple without Treasure Hammers.
Every tile you break uses up one. So you’ll need to collect as many as you can during the event.
How to Get More Treasure Hammers:
- Complete festival tasks or other event missions.
- Chop trees or break rocks on your home island. Sometimes they drop Hammers during the event.
- Open reward boxes and gifts that include Hammers.
- Buy Hammers from the in-game shop if you’re short on time or want to progress faster.
- Check the magnifying glass icon next to your hammer count in-game to see all current sources.
Tip: If you’re farming materials during the event, activate energy or tool boosters to get more Hammers while saving energy.
How to Play Treasure Temple: Step-by-Step
Here’s how to play the event from start to finish:
- Enter the event by tapping the Treasure Temple icon on your island.
- You’ll see a grid of tiles and silhouettes on the side of the screen.
- Start tapping tiles to uncover parts of the hidden shapes.
- When you find a part of a silhouette, keep tapping nearby tiles to uncover the full shape.
- Complete all the silhouettes to finish the Gate and unlock the next one.
- The next Gate unlocks automatically.
There’s also a progress bar at the bottom of the screen that shows how many Gates you’ve cleared and what prizes you’ve unlocked.
Best Strategy to Win the Treasure Temple
Winning the Treasure Temple is not just about tapping quickly. It’s about tapping smart. Here are the best strategies to help you go further without wasting your hammers:
1. Start in the Center of the Grid
Most of the bigger shapes hide near the center of the board. Target those first so you can complete more silhouettes quickly and get clues for what’s nearby.
2. Work Around the First Clue You Find
Once you hit a tile that reveals part of a shape, focus on that area. Clear the tiles next to it to finish the full silhouette before moving on.
3. Don’t Waste Hammers on Corners Early
The corners and edges usually hide smaller shapes or nothing at all. Save them for later when you only have one or two pieces left to find.
4. Use Boosters to Gather Hammers Faster
If you have any energy-saving or extra-item boosters, now’s the time to use them. They help you collect Hammers more efficiently from regular island activities.
5. Monitor the Event Timer
Always check how much time is left before diving into a new Gate. If you don’t have time to finish a board, you risk losing progress and wasting your tools.
What Rewards Can You Win?
Every Gate you complete gives you a milestone reward. These usually include:
- Rubies
- Energy
- Keys
- Cards
- Bonus hammers
The further you go, the better the rewards. If you manage to complete all the Gates before time runs out, you win a grand prize at the end. These often include rare items, big energy bundles, or booster packs.
You can see what’s coming up by checking the reward bar at the bottom of the screen.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even experienced players fall into these traps. Don’t make the same mistakes:
- Tapping random tiles without a plan
- Forgetting to check the silhouette shapes
- Wasting hammers on obvious empty areas
- Starting a new Gate too close to the end of the timer
- Not using boosters to collect more hammers efficiently
Play smart, and you’ll go a lot farther.
Final Thoughts
The Treasure Temple is one of the most rewarding events in Family Island. It mixes luck with logic, and the better your plan, the more treasures you’ll find. Start at the center, focus on the silhouettes, manage your Hammers carefully, and keep an eye on the clock.
If you follow these tips, you’ll move through the Gates faster, earn better milestone rewards, and have a real shot at grabbing the final grand prize.
