In Search of Inca Gold: A Family-Friendly Treasure Hunt Through Oundle
Years ago, a man by the name of Jack Tar arrived in Oundle and became the landlord of an inn in West Street. Jack claimed he wanted a quiet life after years sailing the high seas. Time passed quietly for him until one morning his body was found in the inn. Rumours spread about pirate treasure and retribution, but nothing was proved. But recently, a series of documents including a curious map entitled 'Inca Gold' was discovered in the cellar of the old inn. Was Jack one of the Caribbean Buccaneers who plundered Spanish galleons? Can you, trusty adventurers, uncover the truth by tracking down and solving a series of clues scattered around the market town of Oundle? The Trail could lead you to Inca gold!
