Treasure Trove Cheat Sheet: HELP is a Trove room command, not on a sign. You need an active game pass to play. The Shelf has current item. The Tray has next items. INSPECT items on both surfaces to learn properties. Drawings take place every hour at top of the hour. LOOK DRAWER to see time left ’til the drawing. DROP TOKEN IN DRAWER to enter the current drawing. Each token is good for 1 use. Multiple tokens allowed per drawing. Winners cannot enter again for 36 hours. Good Luck!
