Organiser's Description
SKULL AND CROSSBONES THE GREAT ESCAPE
HUNT FOR THE CURSED TREASURE | 60-MILE VIRTUAL RUN/WALK ADVENTURE
A mysterious map has resurfaced, revealing the location of a legendary treasure lost long ago. But this is no ordinary treasure hunt.
Your mission is to follow the map, uncover its clues, collect what youll need along the way, and discover what has been waiting at the end of the trail.
This isnt your typical virtual mileage challenge. Over 60 MILES, the story unfolds as you travel across a weathered Treasure Map. Your adventure begins before the first mile when the mysterious map resurfaces and starts your hunt. From there, SOMETHING NEW IS WAITING EVERY THREE MILES.
Youll uncover clues and riddles, make choices, complete challenges, collect story artifacts, and unlock milestone and achievement badges. Some checkpoints will challenge you. Others will reveal another piece of the mystery. And just when you think you know where the adventure is leading...
THE MAP MAY HAVE OTHER PLANS.
YOUR 60-MILE ADVENTURE
Your journey begins with the discovery of the Treasure Map, followed by 20 MILESTONE CHECKPOINTS, ONE EVERY THREE MILES.
