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 need to channel your inner pirate as you follow maps, solve cryptic clues, and scour the city for answers. Captain Bess, your bossy pirate leader, will guide you via messages sent directly to your phones. It’s like an escape room, but spread across the entire city!
Where does your adventure begin?
Your adventure begins at Grey's Monument.
You’ll easily find it on your maps app. And for an effortlessly planned day, you’ll find some more helpful info here.
And yes, there are stops! 🍻
Exploring a new city can be thirsty work, so we’ve made sure our route includes some great pubs and cafes. Whether you’re into craft beer or coffee, you’ll find plenty of spots to take a break and soak in the atmosphere of Newcastle. Pirate fancy dress is optional ☠️
