About this kit
** Captain Marigold Tidewhistle has hidden the crew's treasure chest for Treasure Day, but a big gust of wind has blown her clues all over the Wobbly Whale, and her parrot Biscuit has tucked them away in funny places! Your junior pirates read a picture-code note, follow map-grid coordinates, work out who the Lookout is with an easy logic grid, count the crabs, palm trees and starfish on the beach to open a paper chest lock, hunt for sea words and put every Treasure Letter together to find the Captain's Cabin. The story is cheerful and gentle: nobody is in trouble, the treasure is shared with the whole crew, and every lock is on paper. Print it, read the Case File aloud, and start the 45-minute timer.
What you get
- Ages 6-10, 2-6 players per crew, 35-45 minutes of play, about 15 minutes to set up

- 18 cut-out hint cards (3 per puzzle, from a gentle nudge to the full answer)
- Answer key with a step-by-step logic-grid solution, plus a Treasure Found certificate
- Every puzzle checked by computer: the picture code decodes, the map spots give the right letters, the logic grid has exactly one solution and the lock codes follow from the clues
