They make no sense. The rewards are not consistent, meaning you can get the same number of higher level matches in two games, yet receive different rewards. I had a game where I matched two safes, and got 3 gems and 1 iron key (plus the gold and souls). A few maps later, I matched three safes, and got no gems or keys! Then, I had a bad game where I could only match a few green chests, and got 2 gems. Why is it like this? Also, the rewards should be better, I don’t think I have ever received a magic key ever from one, and I have probably done over a hundred by now.

Copper coin is 1 gold. silver coin is 3 gold. gold coin is 10 gold or 3 souls i think. i do not know what brown chest contain. gems start at green chests but you are more likely to get gold or souls. Keys start at red chests i think and i have not gotten anything higher than that.

Payout on PC has been tweaked a couple different times, but I believe this old guide is relatively close or exactly what the PS4/Xbox rewards currently are: [Steam Community :: Guide :: Treasure hunt - Possible rewards](http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=481440445)
