The Pirate's Curse
A cursed gem, a dead pirate's hut, and thirteen years of sleeping spirits about to wake. The friendliest way into X-House — and the best place to start.
The brief
The Wizard of the Dark Side is free again and seeking immortality. He has spread chaos and havoc everywhere and plunged the world into darkness.
His house holds the only two things that matter: the secret of the immortality potion, and the philosopher's stone that powers it. Unpick the first, destroy the formula so it can never be brewed again, and carry the second out with you.
He is not gone long. You have one hour before he returns — and he will know the moment anyone touches the stone.
Bright, magical and full of physical puzzles — a favourite for families and younger teams. Minimum age 11 unless accompanied by an adult.
