The Scents of the Seven Seas - A Themed Sniff & Go Adventure!

Legend has it that Goom-B-Jones, the most notorious pirate dog of the seven seas, buried a legendary treasure before disappearing. His ship, The Black Paw, was lost in a fierce storm, and with it, his treasure map. But before his disappearance, Goom-B-Jones left behind cryptic clues that only the sharpest noses could uncover. Your mission is to follow his trail, retrieve the hidden map pieces, and track down Goom-B-Jones’ long-lost treasure.
