Find the Treasure. Recruit your crew. Build your Legend.
Redeem your gift adventure and begin your pirate experience!
Someone clearly thinks you’re bold enough to handle something more intense than socks this year.
You’ve been given an interactive, city-wide pirate escapade this holiday season you can play with friends, family, or solo, anytime, in almost any city.
Welcome to A Pirate Captain.
No schedules. No rules. Just questionable leadership and poor nautical judgment.

You’re a pirate captain with a ship-sized ego, zero crew, and a hat so magnificent that Captain Neckbeard simply had to insult it. He’s already bragging his way toward the greatest treasure of the age, loudly claiming you’ll never catch up.
To prove him wrong, you’ll dash through the city recruiting questionable sailors, collecting dubiously useful supplies, and making choices that may or may not be wise.
Assemble the perfect crew and the treasure is yours. Assemble the wrong one and you will almost certainly have to explain how the kraken got involved. Again.
👇 Watch the trailer to get properly prepared for nautical nonsense.

Now comes the fun part.
This adventure is location-based, which means you decide where the story unfolds. Inside the app, you’ll be guided through placing Frightnight story chapters at real-world locations that fit the narrative.
Setup takes about 15 minutes, and we recommend doing this at home, preferably somewhere well-lit, before heading out on your investigation.
🎥 Watch the short walkthrough below to see how route creation works:
In general, you’ll be choosing locations that are:
Yes, you can have one person set the route for your entire group.
Just mark it as a community route with a memorable name so your whole team can access it via the Select Route button.
Best played in: Downtown areas, waterfronts where available (ocean, river, lake, or pond!), or entertainment districts
Included location types you’ll need are:
If a location does not quite work, the app will guide you to alternative location types that will still keep the story afloat.
This gift covers one player, but every respectable pirate captain needs a crew.
You’re welcome to invite friends, family, or questionable sailors to join you. Each additional crew member will need their own ticket, and they can join anytime, even last-minute, at 50 percent of the regular ticket price.
Your story is waiting… and it knows where you are.

Gather the right combination and you may just beat Neckbeard to glory. Gather the wrong combination and you may hear the distant roar of something large, tentacled, and deeply unimpressed.
