›Story

As Captain Blackbeard. your mission is to retrieve the treasure map stolen from you by the despicable Red Beard, an underhanded swab who has not only stolen your prized possession but has scuttled your ship and taken your crew as his own. All you know is that the map lies inside one of the many chests secreted throughout the ship; but beware, members of your now mutinous crew lie in wait and will do their utmost to send you to Davy Jones' Locker and take the treasure map for themselves.
