Treasures & the treasure chest

Coins are not the only thing lying on the streets of Saigon Rush. Now and then a rare treasure sparkles among them, from a humble money bag to a royal crown. This guide explains what each treasure is worth, how often they appear, and how the treasure chest pays out.

Coins and a money bag treasure on the road, with a street vendor umbrella — A money bag among the coins. Ride over it to put it in your chest.

The five treasures

Whenever a treasure appears, the game picks which one it is. Most are money bags, and crowns are genuinely rare:

Treasure	Worth	Chance when a treasure appears
💰 Money bag	10 coins	45%
💎 Diamond	25 coins	30%
⌚ Gold watch	40 coins	12%
💍 Diamond ring	60 coins	9%
👑 Royal crown	150 coins	4%

On average a treasure is worth about 28 coins, but the average hides the fun: roughly one treasure in 25 is a 👑 crown worth 150.

Where treasures appear

In coin lines. Coins often appear in short lines along a lane. About one line in six ends with a treasure instead of a final coin.
During Rush Hour. About 16 seconds into every ride, coins rain down in both lanes with no traffic. Some of those falling items are treasures too.
With the right pet. 🐞 Catarina the ladybug, a rare pet from Mexico City, makes treasures show up twice as often in coin lines.

How the chest works

Treasures don't turn into coins straight away. When you ride over one, it goes into your treasure chest, and a small chest counter appears at the top of the screen. The chest opens when your ride ends. One by one, each treasure pops out and the total counts up.

That means a treasure only pays off if you keep riding. A crown you swerve into a bus for is still in the chest when the ride ends, so it isn't lost, but the crash ends your ride and all the coins, deliveries and treasures you would have collected afterwards. A long, steady ride with a few treasures almost always beats a short ride spent chasing one.

When the chest finishes counting, choose Collect to add the coins to your total, or Double it for twice the treasure coins after a short break.

Making treasures worth more

Rush Hour doubles them. During Rush Hour every coin counts double, and that includes treasures you pick up.
🐉 Rồng the dragon, a legendary pet from Saigon, makes every coin count double, treasures included.
🐞 Catarina doesn't change their value, but twice as many treasures means a fuller chest.

See every pet's power in the Pets guide.

What coins are for

Coins are saved between rides. You spend them on Mystery Boxes (250 coins each, the first one is free) to collect pets, and on unlocking new World Tour cities early if you haven't reached the score target yet. Coins can only be earned by playing; there is no way to buy them.

Treasure tips

Treat treasures as a bonus, not a goal. Switch lanes for one only if the lane is clear.
Rush Hour is the safest time to collect: there's no traffic, so grab everything.
If you're saving for a city or a Mystery Box, ride with 🐉 Rồng or 🐞 Catarina.
Remember the chest opens at the end. Surviving longer is what fills it.

Rush Hour: coins and money bags rain down and every coin counts double — Rush Hour: no traffic, double coins, and the best time for treasures.
