In the second syndicated version of "Treasure Hunt," two female contestants were selected from the audience to open a surprise package on stage. One of the boxes was empty; the other contained a pop-up jack-in-the-box. The contestant selecting the latter box got to choose one of 66 surprise boxes on stage, each containing a cash amount and an unknown prize. After host Edwards revealed the cash amount (between $700 to $1,000), he offered the opportunity for the contestant to keep the cash or take whatever was inside the box.
