treasure room

Wealth storage space

A treasure room is a chamber where valuable items are stored and protected, whether gold, jewels, artifacts, or other riches.

The term appears most often in fantasy settings—dungeons, castles, dragon lairs—where adventurers seek hidden wealth: The map showed the treasure room at the heart of the labyrinth.

In video games, reaching the treasure room typically rewards the player with loot or rare items.
