Part 2: Sail the Seven Seas

Students team up for an Internet treasure hunt to locate various objects. Each found item gives them access to a new clue. Can your students use these clues to reach the treasure?

Players start in Home Port. They are given a scroll with a clue. They must locate this item on the Internet. When they do, they can sail to the next island where a new scroll awaits.

Part 3: Make a Treasure Map
