Synopsis of Curse of the Pirate Queen at Taktic Paris 13 :

"In the South China Sea, when the tide receded, a pirate ship would emerge from the depths. It was the ship of the terrible buccaneer Zheng Yi Sao, known as Madame Ching, feared by all as the Pirate Queen of Whispers. At the head of the legendary Red Flag Fleet, she scoured the oceans, waving her black flag and amassing priceless booty. Rumor had it that she held an ancient pirate calendar, capable of foretelling the future and granting her captain absolute power. But mutiny broke out.

Her own crew betrayed the Queen, who was killed defending her treasure. In their greed, the pirates attempted to break the calendar: the twelve sacred jade stones were scattered, triggering a monstrous storm that capsized the ship. It is said that her ghost still haunts the waves, whispering to sailors to lure them into the abyss. Today, it's up to you, the players, to take up the challenge. Your team will board the cursed wreck, transformed into a truly immersive room in the heart of Paris. Each player will have to join forces to explore the ghost ship, where each décor tells a part of the legend of the Pirate Queen".
