The end is nigh! The FINAL KEY is all you have to claim;
A clue is at the end of the beginning of this game.
The Keys, the Gates, the codes, the points; they all come from a book;
If you're averse to spoilers then perhaps you shouldn't look.

The first line of the Crystal
The first line of the Crystal Key clue tells you what to look for, but you'll need to think about other words or idioms that might be unsaid. Once you know what to look for, the second line should help you narrow it down!
As of this moment, 3 players have found the Crystal Key, and 7 have found the Crystal Gate, but no-one has yet cleared the quest! Stay tuned, Questers!

Well, to those looking for the Crystal Key Code, you've got to have your game on. If you found the Key Riddle, you should already know which game we're playing!
As for the Final Code, it is a long one, but not the longest of the game. I won't tell you how long it is, but I will tell you it has to be a multiple of 4. That oughta help you a lot if you're almost on the right track.
KEEP QUESTING QUESTERS! 3 players have completed TREASURE QUEST and won a truly valuable prize; if you look closely at the leaderboards, you might be able to figure out what they won!

Eli I looked at the leaderboard and saw the valuable prize but wondering if you need to finish in the top 5 to get it? or is there something extra besides solve this Treasure quest?
Solved the quest but my number is not on the board. What do I need to do to get prize? another quest?
Mengland, you should be all
Mengland, you should be all set now. Anyone who completes treasure quest by May 31 will win the valuable prize, it's just not automatic. I've added the valuable prize for all 10 (!!!) players who have cleared treasure quest, and yes, the 12th key is the 'final key' badge. And let me say how delighted I am to see you questers passing encrypted messages back and forth in a public space! *sniff* So beautiful!
THANKS FOR PLAYING!

Thanks for the clue Eli! I
Thanks for the clue Eli! I found the key. I realized that Penguin Fish were actually two different words and objects.
This might be irrelevant, but I've had this pet peeve the whole time I've been playing Treasure Quest. I started Treasure Quest first, then Points-O-Matic. So on my player page, the Treasure Quest score card comes first, then Points-O-Matic. However, I've started to play Points-O-Matic less and less, but I was playing Treasure Quest more and more. I have to scroll down to the clues for Treasure Quest, but it's really hard to see where that ends and the Points-O-Matic score card begins. I can't move the score cards, and now I'm thinking of just deleting my Points-O-Matic score card. Any ideas?
Hey Morgsush, no worries on
Hey Morgsush, no worries on the score card. You can probably tell that whole page is esentially untouched from what we first threw together. It will be getting a MAJOR update soon as we start rolling out new features for Summer Game 2012, so don't delete any data, your player page is going to get a LOT more usable in coming weeks, with nice summaries, organized badges, jump to scorecards, etc.
And I have to say on the final code, it's more encoding than encrypting. Take the clue very seriously, it's a big hint.
I can still leave internal
I can still leave internal spaces in my code and they get stripped when I submit, right? I've been leaving them in to keep my sanity. And where applicable, capitalization doesn't matter, right? This is driving me batty.
good question, brady! when
good question, brady! when entering a code, spaces and punctuation are ignored, and case does not matter. so you don't need to worry about trying different combinations of space or case when entering a code. However, some encoding or encryption schemes will give different results depending on spaces and cases.... that's why the riddles where that matters will specify how to set up your text before encoding.
urgh! 48 hours later still
urgh! 48 hours later still have not solved the final egg? Nice hint from Eli but I fear I'm not on the right path. Any hints to find the right path or hints on which code is right?
I think I know what is to be coded but not how to code it.
Am I allowed to pout because
Am I allowed to pout because I am away from home and cannot reference my copy of RPO? I managed to remember enough to get the first two keys and gates, but not any further. It may have to wait until I get home tomorrow afternoon.
Update: I have managed the crystal key and gate now, and am hoping I can repeat the post-and-solve by complaining how the code for the egg should work IMO but isn't. lol.
Update #2: got through the egg. That was a tough code! But I am confused: 12 keys? I count 11. Where am I going wrong?
tough code? any hints? I'm
tough code? any hints?
I'm stuck again.

I have searching the last phrase of the clue and tried replacing the phrase with code from the website.
I'm thinking I have either the code(tried several) or the phrase wrong.
I have reread the clue but only come to one answer for the phrase.

Shreeman, I don't know if you were able to solve the jade key code. Here's the hint. Wiki has the exact phrase. It's a monstrous clue if you like to dwell in the dark. You'll be surpriZed by what you find in this game.

I'm so glad you hardcore
I'm so glad you hardcore questers had fun! It was a blast to put this game together, and of COURSE, the whole thing was inspired by the wonderfully fun final key item, that's why there's that big clue back at the beginning of the game!
As far as the deadline, don't worry about it; if you were here questing during the release period, you'll get your full prize for solving the final riddle. The thing to know is that when Summer Game 2012 starts, treasure quest will still be available to summer game players, and players who finish it during summer game will get a much smaller prize than you guys.
So, hang in there; Summer Game 2012 is on the way!

Bookbird, look for text on
Bookbird, look for text on the first treasure quest post other than the poem/riddle. Searching the names of the keys & treasures is not going to get you anywhere, unfortunately. Another idea is to Google the names of the three keys of this quest, whose names are found in above comments.

thanks cherylo! code then fake item right? or are the THREE codes and items this time? :)
Three keys, three gates, and
Three keys, three gates, and then a little more. Unless I am forgetting, there were no fake items this time. They all reference actual materials that relate to the source material plot bunnies. (Note: "plot bunnies" is just a silly way of referring to plot contents; it is in no way a hint of any kind.)
BTW: I am curious. Who managed to finish the quest without having read RPO? Anyone? If you have not read it, I highly recommend the audiobook version. It is meta and awesome, even though the book is arguably as misogynistic as the era it celebrates.
I didn't read RPO, and I

i got the treasure! but still have all the others not finished. i know its the wrong place to ask, but can anyone help me figure out the chrono key gate code? It seems very unlikely that there will be many skilled people commenting on that forum/whatever you call this (except eli)

Bookbird, think about finding quotes relating to what the gate riddle says....then see what Og says about it.
sorry ompopp, but i meant the
sorry ompopp, but i meant the thing about blaze, i guess i wasn't clear enough. The deadline is approching and i really want THREE/ all of, the secret shop tokens (not a minor prize), and i am trying to work on several keys at once so i can finish before summer game begins. stressing. so now i think i will ask for assistance on some other key. i already entered the gate code for nearly all of them (exception: boolean key, maybe because math and math related are not my forte. didn't even get the key code), now i need to CLEAR the gate. And everything else. i think that maybe the final key was easier than the others, despite of there being more riddles.
now i think the stress is helping me, because i got the chrono treasure. i will skip the boolean key and proceed to the minimoog. format? in catalogue, correct me if i'm wrong
wow. i just found the gate
wow. i just found the gate item in the catalogue. a case of giving up, looking for help, and succeeding a few minutes later without help
as usual, I'm having problems with crypter s again. i typed the music scolar and the last words, no luck.
these days i'm averaging about one code a day. (three days data) maybe i'll get more over the weekend
I know this isn't the right
I know this isn't the right place to ask, but I need some help on the treasure code for the Iron Treasure. The Usegi Checkerboard is just so confusing; I don't even know where to start. I can't find enough information on the web about the Usegi Checkerboard.
problem with iron key gate
problem with iron key gate riddle. think i found the honorific. don't know how to translate
also, as i've posted on the minimoog forum(that's what i call it, unless some one has a better name), stuck on treasure code. found nothing on GF's cryptogram/no mention of it on wiki
Bookbird, I left you a hint
Bookbird, I left you a hint in the minimoog key thread, and Shreeman, if you look closely as always at the gate item for the iron key, you can find a BIG CLUE on how to set up the checkerboard.

I'd have to agree with
I'd have to agree with Morgsush here....I literally spent 2 hours this morning and 2 hours yesterday morning NON STOP reading this book....it was way addictive.

...You know, I've spent about 12 month not looking into the treasure quest. If I hadn't known you would get a buttload of points, I would've spent my time and do this. But now it's june and I can't go back. I have the codes...But they don't work. *Sigh*.
But then again, there's more to life than points & prizes. And losing some pride in yourself is one of them, is it not? Otherwise, I had enjoyed my school year this year and all the events that came by. I've been through lots of fun trips and enjoyment through the activities. But then,
....Why am I not happy?
I had plenty of friends and supporter through the year and of what I do. We had a talent show the Thursday before school ended and man, you wouldn't believe how many people wanted an encore from me. I became the most popular kid in school (but there's no such thing as popularity in our school). When I came into the classroom, every one of my classmates clapped for me. When I walked by people, they would comment about how I did like "nice job" or "you did good out there" or "you were awesome!" and more. I had a great year. But I haven't felt like smiling much lately. Am I just tired? Should I see a doctor? What's wrong with me? Am I talking to the right people?
I think I'm posting the wrong comment in the wrong area....

I obviously don't know where
I obviously don't know where to look, as the hint says "You'll find the gate...if you know where to look". I've looked everywhere, it shouldn't be this hard right?
Maybe I'm too close & I need to step back, but I've literally searched over 500 items.
Could someone check to make sure that the Jade Gate is still appearing in the item? I swear I know the answer to this gate but I cannot find it.

I've got everything else
I've got everything else except the final code & the jade gate. So I definitely should take a break. I just don't want to take too long of a break & the summer game is over! I feel like I'm going in circles with the jade gate though.

You all have been so helpful
You all have been so helpful & basically spoon fed me the answer (even though I had already known the above hint). However, I STILL cannot find the Jade Gate, I've searched every PKD item in the catalog, including spin off movies. Maybe I'm not looking for the right thing, but the Summer Game is almost over so it doesn't matter now! Thanks for all your help everyone, it was fun.
I'm now (finally) readying Ready Player One & it would have definitely helped to read it earlier on in the Treasure Quest quest.
Yeah, Ready Player One really
Yeah, Ready Player One really helps you with Treasure Quest.
Okay, so I tried searching for the Jade Gate and I couldn't find it. I know what book it's in, but it's not showing up. Maybe you could try Contact Us, and ask eli if there's something wrong...
There's a chance I might not
There's a chance I might not be crazy?! I'll contact them - thanks for the suggestion!
