How does it work? ☠️

It’s designed for adults, so you’ll have a laugh together. Crews can be any size, although it might be more fun to split into smaller groups and see who can be the first to solve the final clue!

You’ll be testing out your essential pirate skills - following treasure maps, solving cryptic clues, and looking carefully around the city to find the answers. You’ll be answering to Captain Bess, your bossy pirate leader who’ll send messages to your phones to guide you along the way. It’s a bit like an escape room, across the whole city!

Your adventure begins at the front of Chester Town Hall.

You’ll easily find it on your maps app. And for an effortlessly planned day, you’ll find some more helpful info here.

Of course there’re stops! 🍻
