sails and the waves rocks the ships, a famous pirate
named Captain Horned lives. Renowned for his bravery,
cunning, and… his extraordinary bad luck at losing
treasure, he is a legend among sailors.
One stormy day, his precious treasure map was swept
overboard by the raging sea. Luckily, Captain Horned had
memorized a few key clues about where he had hidden his
most valuable treasures.
