Part live game, part treasure hunt, this thrilling mission is in your hands - for extreme suspense and adventure. Not only will you have to embrace your inner Bear Grylls, you’ll also have to prove yourself as a game designer as you decide the outcome of this mission. The story is in your hands... will you decide to betray your fellow pirates? Will you choose mutiny or submission? Your fate is up to you! Choose correctly and you'll reap the rewards, choose wrong and you might not make it home in time for dinner...
You’ll live through the ultimate buccaneer experience, as you learn how to turn RPG gaming mechanics into an interactive adventure. You’ll challenge your creative writing skills by incorporating player’s choices into your scripts of courage, adventure, fortune and greed. You’ll seek to capture this stark world of secrets and betrayal, by completing challenges, designing escape tools and putting your survival skills to the test. But be warned, there's a traitor among us...
Will your players find Captain Flint’s fabled treasure? And if they do… how many of them will be left?
