Description
The puzzles are similar to those you would find in an escape room. Instead of escaping a room you will be working through a story and ultimately discovering some facts about Scotland's pirates and pirate myths. We are different to most other treasure hunts because we provide a physical bag and the entire game is played using a combination of objects along with permanent features of the city. You will only need your phone to contact the game master if you're stuck or need help. You'll need a phone with internet (preferably Whatssapp) for this. This is a small business and a work of passion created by some local tour guides that love games.
