World
Pirate IslandThe treasure can only be found together
Pirate Island is a world for children aged 6–12. World law: “The treasure is found only together — everyone holds a piece of the map.” It suits these topics especially well: friends and being left out, siblings, losing and mistakes, agreements and listening.
Legend
The map to the Great Treasure was once torn to pieces, and the wind scattered them among the island’s children. Only a crew that puts every piece together can find it — so nobody may be left out.
The treasure is found only together — everyone holds a piece of the map. The captain decides, but listens to the crew first.

The rival
Captain Greedy wants all the treasure for himself but always gets stuck, because he never has the whole map. And the Forgetful Fog, which covers the island when nobody makes a plan.
