Overview

The Pirate Escape Scavenger Hunt will take guests back in time to the Golden Age of Piracy along the Carolina Coastline. Two local historians have designed an immersive experience like no other scavenger hunts currently offered in Charleston.

Guests will start at the Powder Magazine where admittance is free as part of the experience. Using the provided packet guests will follow a themed escape of Pirates during the Pirate Siege of Charles Towne in 1718. The hunt will have guests visit sites and locations that were around during the very real pirate siege of 1718 and find items to help "escape." Information and details provided along the route have been vetted and will provide hidden insight that most guests would have difficulty finding on their own.

Great for families, friends, solo travelers and corporate groups; this scavenger hunt will provide a budget friendly way to explore Charleston's colonial era on your own time. Join us in taking this Pirate Escape Adventure!

Itinerary

Guest will have free entrance to the oldest public building in South Carolina as part of the Scavenger Hunt to start the experience! From there guests will find as part of the tour several other historic locations and items to complete the "escape." This self-guided experience covers about a mile and a half of the most historic district in Charleston.

This pirate themed scavenger hunt is centered around the very real Pirate Siege of Charles Town in 1718. As such you will need to find your way out of the city following the instructions on the packet provided. Finish the experience in the recommend time and you will have escaped a terrible fate as a pirate. Also find hidden alleys and objects along the way!

Historical accuracy was paramount in the sites designated as part of the experience and packet instructions and information has been vetted by two local historians and the director of the Powder Magazine. As such the experience is great for children but due to the length and historic basis it is best received by those 10+ years old!

    Tour was fun and you learn history along the way. Beautiful streets that you don't see on most other tours.

    My hubby and I loved our walking tour of Charleston guided by this clever pirate-history-themed scavenger hunt! What a great way to see things around the city we would've totally passed by otherwise. We loved the history and the way the hunt wove some playfulness into our walk!

    This was our favorite excursion in Charleston! We weren’t sure what to expect, but my husband and I both love history and learning about the places we visit. We’ve been here before, but this scavenger hunt took us to places in Charleston we never would have found on our own. We did a city tour two days prior, and, while good, this was pure fun. I highly recommend for anyone-kids would love this, as would couples, and other groups. Can’t speak highly enough about this experience!

    Awesome way to get some exercise and learn about historic Charleston with the kids. We divided in to two teams and made it a race.
