Oak Island Treasure Hunt

About

Oak Island is a 140-acre island on the south shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. For hundreds of years, people have been searching for long-lost treasure believed to be hidden there. Many searchers have died trying to find the treasure, leading many to believe that the island and its treasure are cursed. In this challenging adventure game, you will lead the next treasure hunting party. To succeed where so many before have failed, you will need to employ your own strategies to uncover the island’s secrets, and if successful, discover astounding treasures. You will have a limited amount of time, money and crew members to complete your search. You must be wise with how you spend your resources to maximize your chances of finding treasure, while avoiding the many pitfalls that have thwarted previous searchers.

Budget: You will have a limited budget to fund search activities. Be strategic in your search methods and conservative with your spending. Time Management: You have very limited time on the island to conduct your exploration. Manage your time wisely and make the most of every opportunity.
