St Mawes - Castle & Harbour

The Centuries-Old Treasure Hunt - Journey Through St Mawes to Unearth the Secret!

Long ago, in the year 1588, the soldiers of St Mawes Castle were on high alert. The Spanish Armada had been sighted, and they were worried about the safety of their possessions and documents. In a rush, they instructed a young lad named Lipsar Sealed to bury their gold, silver, jewels, and paperwork somewhere in St Mawes. They also handed him a map of potential stash spots to aid him in his task. But in the chaos leading up to the battle that never happened, they couldn't quite remember where they left the map or the boy!

Now, several centuries later, the ancient map has been discovered by The Exploration Society. But they need the help of their BEST Adventurers (YOU!) to follow the clues and unearth the loot buried by the Silly Soldiers.
