Bush Buck
The explorer who travels around the world in search of hidden treasure and presents the game's geography challenges.
How it plays
The player guides Bush Buck through a globe-spanning treasure hunt. Progress depends on examining locations, interpreting clues, and selecting or entering answers related to geography and world landmarks.
The game is organized around a sequence of destinations and challenges rather than combat stages. Exploration, reading, and problem solving are the central activities, while successful answers advance the hunt and reveal further parts of the journey.
Plan your run
Read each clue carefully before choosing an answer, and use the surrounding location information to identify the relevant country, landmark, or region.
Keep track of discoveries and revisit information when a later clue refers to an earlier location. The game rewards careful observation more than speed.

Before you begin
Treat the game as a geography and reading challenge rather than an action game.
Record unfamiliar place names and clues so they can be compared later.
Bush Buck: Global Treasure Hunter is an educational adventure game for DOS, developed and published by Sanctuary Woods. It follows Bush Buck on a worldwide search for hidden treasure, using geography, observation, and clue solving rather than action-focused combat. The game is designed as a guided exploration experience, presenting locations and challenges intended to build knowledge while maintaining a light adventure structure. Its play style is slower and more instructional than a conventional arcade or action title. Historically, it is a niche early-1990s-style educational release associated with home-computer learning software, and its appeal is strongest for players interested in geography-themed exploration and retro edutainment.
