Ubisoft has announced a real-life Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced<\/a> treasure hunt with a $500,000 prize, buried somewhere in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The hoard is made up of specially-minted solid gold coins (collectively worth $350,000) and a rock crystal skull adorned with a red opal jewel (valued at a further $150,000) \u2014 a nod to Black Flag’s mysterious macguffin. <\/p>\n

This prize has been dubbed “The Lost Treasure of Edward Kenway”, referring to Black Flag’s pirate-turned-Assassin hero, and will be available to claim to anyone who solves an elaborate treasure hunt with 15 elaborate riddles. While the puzzles will be Black Flag themed, however, no prior knowledge of the game will actually be necessary.<\/p>\n

The whole scheme is a collaboration with Unsolved Hunts, a real-world treasure hunt company that already offers a similar set of puzzles that lead to a \u20ac250,000 replica of King Arthur’s sword Excalibur. You do have to pay to access the clues, with copies of the game available in packs from \u00a331<\/a> (around $41) and up. Paying more will get you a physical version of the clues and other trinkets, all the way up to a \u00a3177 (roughly $240) Pirate Lord Pack edition.<\/p>\n

If you’re worried about missing out on Black Flag Remastered itself while you storm off to the Caribbean, shovel in hand, do not fear \u2014 while you can pre-order the treasure hunt now, full access won’t begin until November 9. And if you’re worried about this interfering with your GTA 6 time in November, you can still rest easy \u2014 this is designed to be a complex experience, with puzzles expected to take players between “two and five years” to fully solve.<\/p>\n
