Ships Ahoy is a location-based project made in a two week time frame for a festival at Carnegie Mellon University. The team was made up of five people. In the game, 2 – 4 participants will be mutinied and given a small dingy boat so that they don’t drown at sea. However, he mutinied captain has other plans. The guests must sing originally made pirate shanties into a microphone. By doing so, the guests can gain speed boosts and shoot canons at their ship in order to beat their untrustworthy pirates.
