The experience

About this quest

A storm has wrecked your boat, your treasure is gone, and your best mate has vanished into the mist. 

You’ve washed ashore in Port Credit, but this isn't the town you know. Here, the animals whisper warnings of the evil that has inflitrated their land. 

You are a castaway in a world of talking squirrels, jewel-dripping mermaids, and rum-soaked pirates. To save your friend, you must navigate the gaslit docks and eerie lagoons of the "Lake of Shining Waters" before the shadows claim you both.

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Families with children of about 6 to 12 who love pirates, mermaids and talking animals spend around two hours walking 2.6 km through Port Credit, past the lighthouse and pier, solving puzzles to rescue a lost friend. Local couples and friends get a playful lakeside outing too. If you want real local history from a guide, or have toddlers who tire quickly, pick something else.
