Mei supplies photo clues for Treasure Cars. Match the photographed surroundings, find the abandoned vehicle, and use its restoration prompt; this is different from a seasonal Treasure Hunt chest.
Read landmarks before choosing a route
Look beyond the car in the clue: road shape, terrain, nearby structures and the direction of the approach are more useful than its paint color. This guide explains a search method rather than claiming unverified coordinates for every vehicle.
Build a small search area
Suggested method: narrow the photograph to a few candidate places before driving a long loop.
- Write down two distinctive background features from the clue.
- Choose one likely region and mark an initial waypoint.
- Approach from the road direction suggested by the photograph.
- If the background fails to match, eliminate that candidate instead of circling it indefinitely.
- Use the discovery interaction and check your collection afterwards.
Avoid the chest-versus-car mix-up
A Festival Playlist Treasure Hunt rewards an event objective and can expire. An abandoned Treasure Car is a vehicle discovery. Confirm which screen supplied your clue before using a chest guide from an earlier season.

Does a seasonal chest location reveal a Treasure Car?
It should not be treated as a car location. Check the specific photograph supplied for the vehicle you are trying to discover.
