The Pirate's Map

Recently, I realized that International "Talk Like A Pirate Day" is coming up. Actually, I don't celebrate "Talk Like A Pirate Day" - I only remember it because it's the same day as the birthday of twin girls in my church youth group - September 19th.
Anyway, since "Talk Like A Pirate Day" is coming up soon, I decided it was time to create another "Treasure Hunt".
The original Treasure Hunt was built a couple years ago, and was quite popular. As of the writing of this post, there are over 11 thousand people who have attempted the treasure hunt.
The treasure hunt was intended for high school students and beyond - some of the puzzles were exceedingly difficult! Unfortunately, the hunt was discovered by many elementary school teachers, who assumed it would be a good activity for their classes.
So, to those teachers I made a promise that I would eventually create an easier treasure hunt, which was better suited to kids.
(Not that adults can't have fun with it too - I hope kids, parents, and teachers will all get a kick out of this little puzzle!)
I just finished it up, and have only done a minimal amount of testing on the game, so I'm hoping that the readers of this blog will give the game a try and let me know (dtwitchell@virtu-software.com) if you find any problems with the game.
Here it is: The Pirate's MapLabels: pirate's map, theproblemsite, treasure hunt
