How The Experience Works
The Crown called him a pirate. Six landmarks hold another side of the story. Follow their witness marks through Old San Juan and decide whose account you trust.
No Downloads, App Store Installs, or Accounts Needed
Launch the game directly in Safari or Chrome on your smartphone. Enter your crew's name, open the Corsair's Compass, and listen to the optional spoken welcome from Captain Tomás Vega inside the game.
Inspect Physical Exteriors & Authentic History
The six waypoints follow a scenic route across Old San Juan: Capilla del Santo Cristo de la Salud, Catedral Basílica Menor de San Juan Bautista, Puerta de San Juan, Plazuela de la Rogativa, Fuente Raíces, and Antigua Prisión La Princesa. All clues are accessible from public exteriors without entering restricted areas.
You Are The Final Judge
Weigh conflicting perspectives from the apothecary, the Crown administrator, the garrison sergeant, and the metalworker. Collect every witness mark and decide what happened in The Governor's Lie.
Optional Audio Narration
Listen to the captain's spoken welcome and optional in-game audio as you explore the route.
Play Remotely

Self-Guided & Flexible
Pause at any cafe, plaza, or park along the route. Progress remains saved on your device browser until you reset it.
Historical Separation: Real Landmarks vs. Fictional Mystery
The six landmarks are real historic places created across several centuries of San Juan's history—from 16th-century ecclesiastical foundations to 20th-century cultural monuments. This is a present-day outdoor investigation. The fictional characters and mystery plot are not assigned to a specific historical year, and modern monuments are not claimed to have witnessed early colonial events. The game clearly separates authentic historical facts and local legends from the fictional narrative.
Visitor Safety & Historic Preservation Guidelines
- Old San Juan streets feature historic blue cobblestones (adoquines) that can be uneven. Watch for traffic on narrow streets and watch your step while walking.
- All game clues are visible from public exterior spaces—do not climb historical walls or cross restricted barriers.
- Ensure your smartphone is fully charged before setting out on foot.
