Hong Kong, December 26, 1848.
You were relaxing in Hong Kong harbor, celebrating Christmas, when a friendly man befriended you and started to buy you drinks. That is the last thing that you can remember…
Next day you wake aboard the huge 3-masted, 800-ton Chinese ship called the Keying that has set sail on the arduous and risk filled journey to Britain, around the perilous Cape Horn.
You quickly realize that you have been fooled by the king of the crimps, Joseph "Bunko" Kelly, and forcefully drafted to work with the ship's company. Ahead lies months, if not years, of dangerous, unhealthy, and unsanitary conditions with little hope of being paid.
After weeks on the open sea, an impending storm drives the ship to seek refuge on a small island known to the locals as Samui.
While in the ship’s mess hall, you start to hear a familiar sea song: “Way ay up she rises, way ay up she rises, way ay up she rises early in the morning.” The crew is starting to prepare the ship to set sail!
Looking around the room, you make eye contact with a few of your shipmates. Everyone quickly realizes, now is your only chance to escape! The Keying will set sail again in an hour as the tide waits for no man.
Your captain, Charles Alfred Kellett, is no fool and it will not be easy to escape for he has rigged many obstacles.
The risks are high. If caught, you face a lifetime of punishment or worse, you could be hanged! The next 60 minutes will determine the course of the rest of your life.
You and your shipmates must search carefully to find the clues, solve the puzzles, and get off the ship. Leave no board unturned and above all, don’t forget to watch the clock.
Time is of the essence! Do you have what it takes to escape the clutches of Captain Kellett?
