Yamashita's Gold

Yamashita's Gold is a game requirement in one of our subjects back in college that I made using Adobe Animate. It focuses more on science questions for Grade 2 students as it is a mind game.

The Story

During World War II, Japanese Imperial Army invaded most of Asia. It is a well-known fact that Japan looted all of the invaded countries of treasures and gold. According to legend, there was so much of these confiscated treasures that it requires a full-time effort to transport all of it back to Japan. When American forces started winning and sinking a number of ships on the high seas, the royal family decided to hide the remaining treasure to the country which initially serves as their layover spot. That country was the PHILIPPINES.

Yamashita was tasked with organizing and carrying out the plans to keep these treasures. To keep it truly safe, he scattered these treasures and used Japanese soldiers and prisoners of war to dig out tunnels and move the stash into caves. To keep the location of these treasures contained, once the gold was transferred inside the caves and tunnels, they will explode bombs at the openings, leaving the laborers trapped inside to die.

After the war treasure hunters from around the world gathered in the Philippines in the hope to find the Yamashita Treasures. Among them, Rogelio Roxas, a former soldier and locksmith. In 1961, Roxas met a man whose father served in the Japanese Army and drawn a map showing one location of the so-called Yamashita Treasure.. The map contained every path and safe passageways. Now all he has to do is to decode the map by finding all clues given to him to find the exact location of the treasures
