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.

Somehow we got lost in the system and no one turned up to do our tour. They did refund us and gave us the opportunity to do a different event for free which we were not able to do. They were very pleasant to deal with but it was disappointing.

This was our second year of playing these games.
This year we played The Pirate`s Riddle.
The quests are very well thought out and you get to see and understand more of parts of Edinburgh that could be missed just by normal sightseeing.
This game would probably suit around 4 or more players but it was just myself and my fiancée and we did need some pointers and extra clues,
Our game master was very quick to reply.
We look forward to playing another game next year.
We highly recommend these games

Organised this for my birthday. Split in 2 teams and had a great afternoon. A lot of work has gone into designing the hunt with very creative puzzles and props and a nice storyline.

Did this for a work team building event. Very well run, excellent puzzles and props. Great way to get people talking and working together in a fun environment. Very enjoyable, would thoroughly disagree.

I took 18 of us on the pirates riddle and it was excellent! Good level of difficulty with us all getting stuck at different points and a competitive tight finish! Would definitely recommend and would try the other games in the future. Easy to organise and great contact beforehand. Thanks Sabela!

This was our second treasure hunt (did Sherlock a year and a half ago). Loved it! Very lucky with the weather. Beautiful views. Tricky clues, but managed this one without any help. Would definitely recommend as a great way to see the city and have lots of fun!

We did this on a rainy October afternoon and got a bit of a telling off for not dressing appropriately. As locals we're fairly use to the dreich days so this was a bit odd. After that, it was fairly challenging but generally fun. The treasure hunt involved a lot of texting back and forth and as someone who doesn't use their phone much I think my enjoyment was lessened by the endless texts and asking where we were. At one point I got sent answers I didn't ask for so ended up sitting watching my friends try to figure out the next stage without me.
It felt the organiser hadn't want to run it on a rainy afternoon and when we said we were happy to continue after being given the option to change dates half an hour before, we ended up getting rushed through the hunt.
We also ended up snapping a string to a prop and I got an angry text. It turned out the same thing had happened three times that week by different parties.
The bad humour that we got at the end about this left us all feeling subdued and like this might not be our thing.

Grate well thought out challenge. You see parts of Edinburgh you wouldn't normally go to. Well worth it.

A fun and challenging experience. Don't think it will be easy to complete the puzzles! It's good to do it in a team or against another team.
We can certainly recommend this, even in the rain!
