I understand that this is an evolving feature, but generally speaking, are future treasures going to be contingent on earning other treasures like it was the first month? Or will the groups be more independent? At the moment we can only see March and April which is a mixture of this criteria.

What timezone are the treasures in?  We're 11 hours into the 1st of April here in Aotearoa New Zealand and the April ones are still locked.

 

They start at 12:00 UTC, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow morning.

Just wondering how many eggs there are?  Original posting included a CITO but is not listed now.

Bug in treasures in app? Me and my husband found and logged exactly the same caches yesterday (April 1st). He logged them on a pc, I did it from the app. He received a treasure (mystery egg) , I did not. I should have, I logged 2 mysteries that meet the requirements.

I deleted and relogged from a PC, now it worked. Seems there is some bug issue here.

Was wondering the same thing.  Had organized a CITO for later this month specifically for this egg requirement. 

Snap me too ,

There's a lot of white space on the treasures tab in the app. I think it would look better to include something like most recent treasures collected, or completed collections images.

When looking at an unfound treasure it shows what criteria a cache needs to have to be awarded it:

But having found a treasure it tells you which cache qualified for it, but doesn't show the criteria which was required:

The qualification criteria should also be shown on awarded caches along with the qualifying cache.

I agree. Even though I have the collection, I'd still like to see what the requirement was to earn  the treasure. On the first three collections you can still see the criteria required after earning them, but on the egg collections you cannot. Yes, I understand that each egg has an image representing the geocache type you needed to find, but in the future I'm not going to remember if I only needed to find a type or if it needed to be a specific DT . I think it'd be nice to see the criteria listed with each cache found for each treasure.

Since nothing was fixed I assumed it was like that by design.

It is more likely that the error was caused by selecting a file with the wrong image resolution.

Tonight it seems that the carousel on my Android is missing, so the treasure promotion is not showing. 

 

Is it back yet?  Mine seems to be working fine today...

I researched 12:00 PM UTC for my area and got 8:00 AM. However, I logged an event cache after that time and did not receive a treasure.  Likely a glitch?

 

I don't see a find for you more that is recent than a week ago (June 3). The Treasure award keys off of the date of the visit, not the date on which you create and post the log.

Thank you for your input. I have logged and deleted my logs at least three times to see if logging it later in the day would award me the treasure.  Still no treasure.

Thank you for your input, but I have logged the event (as Attended today, 6/10) and deleted my log at least three times to see if logging it at a later time would award me the treasure.  Still no treasure.

As @Moun10Bike wrote, treasures will not be awarded when a found/attended log has been deleted and relogged.
