What Makes It Uncommon

Forget what you know about traditional role-playing games. Makers Yacine Merzouk and Michelle Rundbaken will transform your home into an interactive adventure. Your mission is simple: Explore the Caribbean Sea and track a treasure presumed lost during the Golden Age of Piracy. Not your ordinary scavenger hunt, this adventure feels so authentic you'll be asking yourself whether it really is just a game.

  • Set the quest in motion by opening a mysterious envelope filled with clues and artifacts, such as ancient maps, wax-sealed cryptic letters, and a golden coin (all included with the game).
  • You and up to four other thrill-seekers will use your wits to uncover hidden websites and solve puzzles that move the story along.
  • Unlike other challenges, you'll have access to a team of experts whenever you need reinforcements: The innovative adventure features a cast of characters powered by artificial intelligence that interact with you during gameplay via SMS text.
  • Made in Hawaii.

Yacine Merzouk and Michelle Rundbaken

Michelle was born and raised in Kauai, Hawaii, and Yacine hails from Montreal, Quebec. The two met while working at a resort where Michelle was a dance teacher and Yacine suddenly became very interested in dance. "We started our game-design career by opening an escape room in Hawaii," the couple explain, "but we wanted to share our games with more people." Today, Yacine and Michelle continue to design immersive, artificial intelligence-powered games that can be mailed and played at home.

Great evening with a mystery

This is exactly what we expected. We played with two of us and found it very challenging. We wish we had saved this one for a larger group but maybe the next one.

I highly recommend this mystery fun!

I got this as a gift for my husband and son. My son is 6, so I was a little worried that this may be above his head. I'm so glad I was wrong! This was a perfect family activity! It was so much fun!! The interactive nature of the game (with searching for things on the web, text messages, and clues) was so spectacular. It made you feel like you were really working with the team on the ground solving a real mystery! My son was able to keep up and he said it felt so real and loved that it felt like we were really on a mission. It took us a few hours to complete it, but we really wanted to do it together as a family and not use too many hints or guessing. There was a cool bonus surprise at the end too. I highly recommend getting this, especially if you like escape rooms, mysteries, detective stories, or pirates. Enjoy!

Children as young as 6 and 7 have participated and enjoyed it with parental involvement, while kids ages 9–12 can actively contribute as part of a team.

Customer questions

  • Springfield, IL

While the game is rated 14+ is that for content (language, violence, etc.) or for the challenge of the puzzles?

Verified reply from Jen

Great question, this is recommended for kids 14+ due to the challenge of the puzzles and the need to use the internet and a phone.

  • Denver, CO

Does each player need their own cell phone? My elderly parents share a phone.

Verified reply from Itamar

Great question! A phone is not required by each participant to play. The SMS AI characters are simply additional offerings to add personality to the game :^)

  • undisclosed

I am considering giving this as a gift to someone who lives in Europe. Is there any reason they would not be able to use it (i.e., due to websites that cannot be accessed outside the US/from Europe for GDPR or other reasons, inability to give a foreign phone number to receive an SMS, etc.)?

Verified reply from Itamar

Great question! As always SMS fees may apply. Please select the specific European country you are shipping to before checkout to see if this item is available to ship to your intended recipient :^)
