Grab your shovel, map, compass & get ready for an adventure!

The Story

Pine Lake used to be a public park that people visited and used to go camping, fishing, canoeing & have great outdoor adventures! In recent years people have been going missing and as that became more and more known, the park slowly was not visited… some say the curse was unleashed after someone went digging where they shouldn’t have…

The Jack dawn, a pirate ship known for its successful plunders, had finally met a foe that has long been hunting them down. The Revenant, who had been waiting for the pirate’s next attempt to recover a long lost treasure.

The pirate captain of the Jack Dawn was a leader to be feared, but over time of plundering he had made multiple enemies, some royal navy and other pirate crews.

His last battle was chasing a treasure that would set him and his crew for life, but like many things too good to be true, their adventure took a bad turn. They had to fall back to the Green Pine Lake for safety, but being low on supplies and the ship taking on water, they sank at Pine Lake with no food or water to survive for long.

The Player
