Ye Olde WebQuest (for serious gentlemen and gentlewomen of fortune ONLY)

Welcome to our People’s Light Panto WebQuest.

This could be a dangerous journey. It is not for the faint of heart!

If ye choose to participate, ye will sail uncharted waters to hide a magnificent treasure!

The Terms of our Treaty:

Ye will create a pirate identity, select yer crew, and determine the treasure ye would

like to hide. Ye will use the clues and portholes (otherwise known as “hyperlinks”) to

create an adventure that ends in “X Marks the Spot!”

For yer service, ye have the chance to receive free passage for ye and three

crewmembers of yer choosing on our next charter. (aka the show “Shipwrecked”)

The Dread Pirates of Treasure Island will choose the three best pirate adventures to

receive this adventure. The lucky pirates will also receive a swashbuckling lesson

(WITH SWORDS!) from one of our resident pirates at People’s Light.

If ye accept the terms of our treaty, ye must also commit to the ARTICLES OF BARTHOLOMEW ROBERTS.

Ye can find them on the last page of our PNC Arts Alive Discovery Guide, here: http://issuu.com/peopleslight/docs/treasisland_discguide/24

Yer Adventure Begins! Create Yer Pirate Identity

First, ye must choose if ye are a human or a fantastical creature.

Second, what do ye look like? Have ye got a big warty nose and bulgy eyes?

Are ye covered in barnacles? How will we know ye are who you say ye are?

Third, ye must disclose yer “pirate power.” Can yer big warty nose sniff out

extra rations of mouldy cheese? Do yer barnacles shoot poisonous pus?

Fourth, ye must determine how ye will travel. Boat? Skateboard? Jet Pack?

Finally, ye must decide what your treasure is. Is it a lifetime supply of

Tastycakes? Fabulous jewels and gold? A key to a secret book?

The next piece of parchment is for ye to draw a self-portrait

and describe all yer piratey characteristics.

(We will not disclose these to the “Dangerous “Pirate Database”…..unless ye commit mutiny!)

Aargh!

Pirate Portrait Do a nice job for yer dear olde mum.
