Gem Rush: Treasure Hunt Gets a Fresh Look

There is a new game in the mix, and it glitters. Gem Rush is a gem-themed take on the Treasure Hunt, built in Vibe Studio, and it drops into your setup with a single toggle. Players still dig for rewards that stack up as they go. The mechanics you know are all there. The look is brand new.

Meet Gem Rush

Gem Rush runs on Treasure Hunt mechanics, the same modifiers and the same reward accumulation logic. Rewards work exactly as they do today. Players just see a different game: a gem-hunting rush with its own art and pace, ready the moment you turn it on.

It ships as a global template, which means Smartico built it and every label can use it. Want it exactly as is? Turn it on and you are live. Want it in your colors? Keep reading.

Swap it in with one toggle

If you already run a Treasure Hunt, moving to Gem Rush takes seconds. Flip the Use Custom Game toggle on your Treasure Hunt mini-game, pick the Gem Rush global template, and the standard experience gives way to Gem Rush. No rebuild, no migration, no downtime for your prizes or rules.

One thing to keep straight: Gem Rush uses Treasure Hunt mechanics, so it belongs on a Treasure Hunt. Pair it with a different game type and it will not behave.

Make it yours

Gem Rush is a Vibe Studio Custom Game, so it works as a starting point as much as a finished one. Open it in Vibe Studio, describe the changes you want, and the AI editor rebuilds the art, copy, and animation while a live preview keeps up. Check it on desktop and mobile, then ship in one click. Your gems, your colors, your brand.

Your rewards stay put

Here is the part that lets you experiment without worry. The design lives in Vibe Studio. The prize pool, odds, caps, buy-in, and eligibility live in Mini-games, which stays the single source of truth. Swap the Treasure Hunt for Gem Rush, restyle Gem Rush next week, try a third look after that, and the rewards never move. It all runs on your live Smartico data, so what players chase is exactly what you set.
