About this quest
Adventure has a way of finding you in Savannah. In Savannah Waterfront: A True Pirate, your quest begins with a brawl, a stolen glimpse of a treasure map, and a hairy hand dragging you into a life at sea.
With no choice but to play along, you must follow real-world clues, solve puzzles, and explore the hidden corners of Savannah's historic waterfront to plot your escape - or perhaps join the pirates for real. Lace up your boots, grab your crew, and dive into a swashbuckling adventure where every step uncovers a new piece of the story.
Walk, think, laugh, and connect as you create memories that would make any true pirate proud.
Is this for you?
Who it's for

Anyone after an indoor escape room or a live guide to answer history questions should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a scavenger hunt in Savannah, GA?
Yes. It is a self-guided scavenger hunt played on your phone along Savannah's historic waterfront. The app leads you through 11 stops, tells the story of each place and sets a puzzle based on what is in front of you. You can start any time, with no group to join.
Is this a guided pirate tour of Savannah?
There is no guide. The app tells a pirate story that begins with a brawl, a stolen glimpse of a treasure map and a hand dragging you into a life at sea. You follow real clues to plot your escape. You stay outside at each stop, as entering the places is not part of the experience.
Where does it start and finish, and how long does it take?
It starts at The Pirates' House and finishes at Rousakis Plaza, so it does not end where it began. The route covers about 2.2 km, passing spots such as the Olympic Torch Monument, The Old Harbor Light and the Cluskey Vaults. Most players take around 90 minutes, walking and puzzles included.
Is it free, and can we play as a group?
It is a paid quest, and one ticket covers the whole group playing together. There is no time slot to book: start whenever suits you, and pause and continue later if you need a break along the waterfront.
Is it good for kids?
School-age children usually enjoy the pirate story and clue-solving, but kids under 12 should be guided by their parents through the puzzles and the walk. The route is about 2.2 km and roughly 90 minutes outdoors, so think about whether younger children can manage that distance.
What’s the adventure here?
You arrive in Savannah chasing dreams, end up working at a pirate-filled restaurant, catch a glimpse of a treasure map... and suddenly you're “invited” aboard as pirate crew! You’ll solve clues, explore waterfront secrets, and try to escape—or embrace life as a pirate.
Who’s going to love this most?
It’s great for adventurous couples, friend groups who like playful challenges, and visitors who want more than just old houses and coffee—something with a little swagger.
Is this a good idea for a date?
For sure. There’s romance in the waterfront, sunsets, pirate tales, hidden alleys, and that “let’s do something outside the usual” energy—perfect for a date with personality.

Savannah waterfront context
A trading riverfront behind the pirate adventure
Savannah’s riverfront grew around wharves and warehouses serving an Atlantic port. Factors Walk connected the upper city with the working waterfront below, where goods and people moved through a trade network with both prosperous and exploitative histories. This quest turns that maritime setting into a fictional pirate capture; it does not claim its characters or attack were historical events. Playable languages: English.
