There are treasures aplenty at the Magic Kingdom and having not one, but two interactive games in one park may seem excessive at first, but A Pirate\u2019s Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas is well worth the time needed to undertake the voyage.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself: Do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death?<\/p>\n

If the answer is ‘yes’, then this be the game for ye.<\/p>\n

Your saga begins at The Crow\u2019s Nest.\u00a0 Here a scurvy crew member will press you and any other members of your landlubber group into the service of Jack Sparrow \u2013 that\u2019s Captain Jack Sparrow to you.\u00a0 After checking with the oracles and handing you a map, the sea dog will set you to sail on the high seas.<\/p>\n

There are five raids to your adventure.\u00a0 In each one you will help Captain Jack Sparrow search for a treasure of the seven seas.\u00a0 Each raid has its own map, storyline, lore, and props.\u00a0 Along the way, you will look for clues by finding locations on your map and then finding them in Adventureland (on your first couple of raids, having a park map as well as your treasure map makes finding your way that much easier).<\/p>\n

Groups are welcome to play together \u2013 during your set up process, the number of players is entered into the computer.\u00a0 One magic band, annual pass, or RFID ticket is required as your crew\u2019s identifier and that one media will be swiped at each location, so keep it close to hand.\u00a0 Asking with courtesy should enable the acquisition of more than one treasure map.\u00a0 If your powder monkeys are similar to mine, this one act will keep keelhauling to a minimum and reduce the requirement for parley.<\/p>\n

As you commandeer (it\u2019s a nautical term) a ship and set sail (figuratively), you will navigate to your first port.\u00a0 Once you have, in the manner of our Captain, out worn your welcome there, you will embark to several other ports as you track down informants and eventually, hopefully, the treasure.\u00a0 You might have the opportunity to fight both pirates and the British Admiralty (Yo Ho), just remember that the good fight will always prevail.\u00a0 At each location a bit more of your story is revealed until at last the treasure is within your reach.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that you will never be able to take the treasure with you.\u00a0 It is far too large and for Captain Sparrow, so you might want to explain to younger crew that the reward is Jack\u2019s regard.\u00a0 The maps are yours to keep.<\/p>\n

The order in which you experience the raids is decided by the oracles (okay, a computer system), however, at least the last raid is the same for all crews.\u00a0 In each raid, you will be looking for a different treasure and fighting a different foe.\u00a0 You can expect to spend about 30 to 45 minutes per raid depending on how quickly you find your targets. \u00a0Finding the correct locations can be tricky in a few sections, but do not worry, our Captain will send you back to the last port to regain your bearings if needed.<\/p>\n

One note on location: The A Pirate\u2019s Adventure \u2018ports\u2019 are not the same as the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom<\/a> \u2018Portals\u2019. Some are very close to one another.\u00a0 If there is a line and the players are holding up cards, then keep looking for your port.<\/p>\n

All of the raids are enjoyable and me crew, nearly two months later, is still reminiscing about pivotal moments, embellishing tales of monumental fights, and comparing dastardly deeds.<\/p>\n

Be aware: This is an interactive, pirate-themed game.\u00a0 Smaller hands who find Pirates of the Caribbean, skeletons, the supernatural, or sudden noises and lights confronting, might find this game a bit too intense.\u00a0 As the game is available during the majority of the park\u2019s opening, proceeding to the first raid during the daylight hours might be advisable.\u00a0 This will allow the First Mate of your crew to judge the appropriateness of the other raids for those members and allow them to set sail to Fantasyland before bed, if needed. We did most of our raiding after dark and enjoyed the effects against the night backdrop of Adventureland, however, keep in mind that some of the effects are dimly lit.<\/p>\n

If you complete all five raids, you will see a special ending to the last raid.\u00a0 If you complete all five in one day, that ending is very special indeed.<\/p>\n
