Escape This | Pirates

Plunder or the Plank

Captured by the infamous pirate Calico Jack, you've been thrown below deck aboard one of the Caribbean's most feared galleons. By dawn, you'll be walking the plank unless you can find a way to turn your fortunes around.

As a thick sea fog drifts across the ocean, the pirate crew lies fast asleep after a night of heavy drinking, leaving a rare opportunity to strike. Somewhere aboard the ship lies Calico Jack's hidden treasure chest, and it's up to your crew to uncover its location, solve the clues and escape with the loot before the pirates awaken.
