Introduction
While vacationing with your family in the Florida Keys, you have been captured by a band of swashbuckling pirates! They have kidnapped you and dragged you on board their pirate ship, the Black Widow. These bad buccaneers are after some buried treasure and, blimey, they can’t read and decipher the treasure map! If you can help them read the clues, break the code and locate the treasure, then they’ll set you free. If not, you’ll be walking the plank, Matey!
