History
Ocracoke Island has a long maritime history — its light station dates to the early 19th century and the inlet is linked to the 1718 Blackbeard events that shaped local lore.
Conservation
Barrier islands are fragile: stick to marked paths, avoid trampling dune vegetation, and follow local guidelines to protect nesting shorebirds and the saltmarsh ecosystem.

Bring a fully charged smartphone
The hunt is hosted remotely — you must provide a working domestic phone number and have a smartphone with GPS, camera, and data or WhatsApp available.
Wear comfortable shoes

Plan around ferry and parking
Ocracoke access depends on the ferry schedule; arrive early in summer to secure parking and avoid missing your start time.
Be courteous to locals and businesses
Many clues require interacting with shops and residents — be polite, brief, and mindful of service hours.
