Treasure Map in Chop Chop Inc: Find the Buried Beach Treasure
Find the Chop Chop Inc treasure map and finish Find the Treasure: hold the map to reveal the buried Beach chest, then find the red X near the teleporter door.
If Find the Treasure is still active after you opened the obvious chest on the Beach, you probably opened a different chest. Post-launch Steam Community reports consistently describe a second, buried treasure chest that appears on the Beach when the Treasure Map is active.
Quick answer
- Check the mine shaft for the Treasure Map.
- Put the Treasure Map in your hand.
- Return to the Beach.
- Look on the sand for a red X, reported near the Beach teleporter / TP door.
- Open the buried chest marked by that X.
The visible chest near the boat or shipwreck is not the same chest used by this Treasure Map route.
Where to find the Treasure Map
The official Steam store page does not publish an exact Treasure Map location, so there is no official coordinate to quote.
However, multiple post-launch Steam Community answers point players back to the mine shaft when they are missing the map connected to the buried Beach chest. The same route also appears in discussions about the Chester portrait found through the treasure chest.
If you have not found the mine shaft yet, use the Mine / Mineshaft Location guide first rather than searching the Beach without the map.
Evidence note: Community reports support the mine-shaft connection. Do not add an invented map coordinate. A Steam thread describes the map as being at the end of the mine shaft, but the safer evergreen wording is to direct players to the mine shaft unless you have your own current-build screenshot proving the exact spot.
How to use the Treasure Map
Finding the map is not enough. Players who solved the objective report that you need to put the Treasure Map in your hand.
Once the map is active, a different treasure chest appears buried in the sand and is marked by a red X.
If you are carrying the map in your inventory but cannot find the X, equip or hold it first, then check the Beach again.
Where is the buried treasure?
Go to the Beach area and inspect the sand near the teleporter / TP door.
Several Steam Community replies independently describe the correct treasure as:
- buried in the sand;
- marked by a red X;
- separate from the obvious chest by the boat;
- located a short distance from the Beach teleporter / portal door.
Do not stop searching just because the normal Beach chest is already open.
“I already opened the Beach chest — is the quest broken?”
Not necessarily.
This exact confusion appears in several post-launch Steam threads. Players opened the visible Beach or boat-side chest before activating the Treasure Map, saw Find the Treasure remain in the mission list, and assumed the quest had softlocked.
The replies consistently point to a different solution: the Treasure Map creates a separate buried chest with a red X.
Before treating the quest as bugged, check all four points:
- You actually have the Treasure Map.
- The map is in your hand.
- You returned to the Beach after equipping it.
- You checked the sand near the teleporter door for a red X.
There are community reports of individual save issues in Chop Chop Inc, but the normal Beach chest being open is not, by itself, proof that this treasure quest is broken.
Do I need to dig at the red X?
A post-launch Steam Community reply describes hitting or digging the marked spot with the equipped axe. Because this interaction detail comes from player documentation rather than an official developer guide, treat the red X as the reliable landmark and follow the interaction prompt shown by your current game build.
Connection to Chester’s picture mission
The Treasure Map route also matters if you are collecting Chester’s photographs.
A Steam Community thread about missing Chester pictures directs players to the mine shaft for a Treasure Map when they are missing the portrait connected to a buried chest.
For all three portrait locations and the current Hotfix #10 status, use the dedicated Chester Portrait Mission guide.
If you still cannot find the treasure
Use this order instead of wandering across the whole map:
- Confirm the Treasure Map is in your inventory.
- Equip it in your hand.
- Travel to the Beach.
- Walk past the obvious boat-side chest.
- Inspect the ground around the teleporter / portal door.
- Look for the red X and interact with that marked spot.
If the red X still does not appear after those checks, confirm that Steam has installed the latest Chop Chop Inc update before assuming the location itself has changed.
