Legend tells of a mysterious place hidden in the heart of the ocean: Christmas Island. Once a year, on the 25th December pirates from the Seven Seas would put aside their rivalries and gather on its shores to celebrate Kraken Christmas. For one magical day, grudges were forgotten, rum flowed freely, and daring tales were shared around roaring campfires.
But as centuries passed, the island's shores became perilous, its once-welcoming coastline a trap for even the most seasoned sailors. One fateful year, a notorious pirate ship was wrecked on the island, leaving its crew stranded. Yet somehow, against all odds, the pirates managed to escape—though no one knows how. They left behind only whispers of their ordeal and hints of treasures hidden deep within the wreckage.
Now, as modern-day adventurers brimming with hope and holiday cheer, you’ve arrived on Christmas Island, eager to explore the wreckage and uncover the treasures left behind. But beware—these pirates may have been festive and full of holiday spirit (quite literally do doubt) but they were still pirates. They may have escaped, but they left traps in their wake. One wrong move could seal your fate and leave you as baffled—and as stranded—as those who came before
