Skegness
Embark on a thrilling adventure with family and friends as you follow in the footsteps of the notorious pirate, Gibraltar Jack. Legend has it that during a fierce storm in 1785, Jack attempted to land his stolen treasure on the beach of Skegness. But what exactly was in this massive hoard? The town's fishermen were overjoyed and danced in celebration, until Jack ordered them away and disappeared into town with his belongings, never to be seen again.
Recently, a worn map was discovered in the walls of a house known as Jack's Shack. Only skilled explorers like YOU will be able to uncover if this map holds the key to buried riches. But beware, time is of the essence before someone else beats you to it!
