The object of the game is to collect treasure from a maze without losing lives and thus to achieve the highest score possible. Each item of treasure is worth a number of points, the more treasure collected, the higher the score.

There are a number of hazards within the maze, pitfalls, trapdoors, portcullis and wandering SKULLS. The SKULLS will attempt to guard the treasure by catching you but you may find within the maze a green cross which will give you a period of safety during which you may attack the SKULLS.
