Treasure hunts are competitions between agencies. If the treasure hunt is no longer listed under the Active Treasure Hunts listing that means it's already been won by another agency. An announcement will be made in the City News whenever an agency wins a treasure hunt; also you can check your progress in any hunt under "Treasure Hunts" at City Hall.

Also, as a newer player, if you want to compete in treasure hunts you'd be better off joining an established agency. It is virtually impossible for a single-person agency to win a treasure hunt.

A treasure hunt involves doing favors for the townspeople in a certain order. You are told that the treasure was given to the waiter, for example, and if you do a favour for the waiter he'll tell you that he got spooked and gave the item to the banker, and you need to get a favour for the banker to find out who she gave the treasure to, and so forth. The strategy for hunts is for each individual detective in the agency to hold a different favour, so that when the waiter comes up, the person holding that favour does it and then immediately whoever is holding the banker does that favour, and then so forth. If you only have one detective in the agency, you are at a great disadvantage, because you're counting on randomness to get your favours, whereas other agencies have the power of numbers working for them.
