The experience
About this quest
Players are whisked into a ghostly vision, haunted by the famed pirate, Sir Francis Drake, whose spirit lays cursed and restless. Entrapped in Drake’s ethereal plea, players are embroiled in a Puzzling Pirate’s Quest, facing the challenge of unraveling mysteries deeply interlaced with pirate lore and the rich tapestry of St. Augustine’s history.
Drake’s formidable curse hangs ominously over the quest, with the peril of being condemned to the ocean’s abyss and an eternal twilight amongst his cursed crew.
Will your wit and courage prevail in breaking the chains of this spectral puzzle, or will the pirate’s curse seal your fate in the shrouded depths of eternity?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Families with school-age children and groups of friends can follow a ghostly pirate story through the old town, solving puzzles from the Ponce de Leon Statue past the Cathedral Basilica and St George St to the Castillo de San Marcos. It is free and takes 1.5 to 2 hours over 1.8 km. Anyone after an evening ghost walk should pick something else, as this is meant for daylight.
