About this Deck

Created by the visionary duo Greetje Welten and Matty van de Rijzen, Treasure Hunters carries an atmosphere of warmth, safety, and wonder. The visual style is intentionally soft and evocative, using beautiful illustrations that speak to the heart rather than just the mind. This deck is designed to bypass the ego and tap into the authentic self, making it a beloved tool for parents, teachers, therapists, and friends who wish to celebrate the unique light each person brings to the world.

Symbolism and Themes

The system of Treasure Hunters is built on two distinct types of cards that work in harmony: Job cards and Treasure cards. The Job cards act as catalysts for action and reflection, offering assignments that stimulate self-discovery and meaningful interaction. The Treasure cards represent the "gold"—the specific qualities, talents, and strengths that often go unnoticed in the rush of daily life. Together, they create a language of appreciation and empathy, shifting the focus from what we lack to the abundance of character we already possess.
