    Start your quest by travelling here and downloading the pdf sheet as well as pondering over the first clues!

    The Pirate Umbra is marooned on the island where the Golden Bananas are hidden. But she’ll need your help to decipher Blind Bob’s maddening clues to the treasure’s ultimate hiding place.

    FIND CLUES
    Gather a pirate crew of up to four people. Starting at 8:00AM GMT, a new clue will be released every 3-4 hours over 3 days. Answers to these riddles could be anywhere, so look sharp. There are 15 fiendish puzzles to solve!

    COMPLETE THE RIDDLE
    Enter each answer into one of the 15 blank spaces in the Passage. But you won’t be able to submit them until all 15 puzzles have been released, so keep track of your answers as you go.

    ENTER YOUR TEAM
    When you have filled in all 15 answers in the Passage, submit your crew’s entry. The fastest crew in each region with all the correct answers will be invited to take part in an Ultimate Test - where one victorious crew will win the Golden Bananas!

    @personalc0ffee I know, we're a bit behind but during Gamescom the discussion thread was amazing, with everyone discussing ideas and suggestions for the clues.

    Good luck everyone!!

    I hope in the end after a long and difficult journey, that the lesson that Rare wanted you to learn was that the Golden Bananas were inside you all along.

    Followed by a dash to the local hospital.

    This is now the only thread I can hide in for the next 13hours to stay away from spoilers... Also I may have gone too far or not far enough for the first riddle, clue 2 will confirm that but I certainly have an answer :)

  • radwan10

    thanks, and i believe it will be fun,
