Win an X-Box X plus free cinema tickets on the Hastings Pirate's Parrot Treasure Trail 2021

Can you crack the parrots’ Q-Arr code?

Do you have what it takes to crack the Q-Arr codes and be in with a chance of winning an X-Box X, three months of free cinema visits for you and your family, plus a whole load of other loot?

Everyone who solves the puzzle will walk away with an e-Dubloon they can trade in for sweet stuff on Hastings Pier!

But one lucky buccanneer will take the big prize if their name gets pulled out of the captains hat – so get out now and start solving the clues…

Each Q-Arr code will take you to a local shoppe or tavern. Get there sharpish and hunt in the windows for another Q-Arr code to point you to the next one.

Collect all ten and solve the riddle to unlock the password and get a crack at the big prize.

Come back here at 9am on Saturday morning to get the first clue!
