This page is like a prize counter at an arcade to reward volunteers and donors.
There are easy ways and hard ways to dig for treasure. The hard way is when "Scurvy Dog Pirates" use "create" to bury treasure and "Get Loony." Donors "Get Loony" the easy way by pressing the "loony" PayPal link to donate. Carnival barkers (Highly skilled pirates!) can recycle their loony booty into cash!  If you are watching the interactive TV series "Special Heroes" or the "Boat Parade" this is where "Secret Code Words" become active.  Code words let you sneak in the back door of volunteer venues and find treasure other people can't find.
If you are not 18, or don't want to login, you are in luck! Special Heroes Christmas stories, the George Washington Christmas game and the George Washington baking challenge are explained here and are more fun when you don't use your phone to register!  These are great Christmas activities for anyone!
There are a few minor construction projects still going on. These will be finished by Christmas of 2025! You are first in, and are the ground floor of this amazing adventure to "Share Good Cheer!"
Christmas day, 1776 George Washington crossed the Delaware with 2,400 marines that were called "Scurvy Dog Pirates" by the British.  3 activities celebrate Christmas and our countries independence.  They are much easier to play without using your phone or being online!  1) A Christmas story of Special Heroes, that can honor any family member or friend with a tribute. 2) A George Washington Christmas Game, where you trade good cheer instead of something you buy at a store.  You can share as much good cheer as you want with nobody going broke! 3) A George Washington baking challenge, where you tie, bake and eat the 5 nuati knots marines must know.
If you are online:
Below are the treasure maps where you can dig for "Good Cheer." The easy way to dig is to click on a flag or picture to open it, then click on "Share Good Cheer" if you dig it.  Avoid exploring and sailing off this page!  Use the loony button to fill back up with good cheer.  Your public ledger at the top right of this page keeps track of your adventure.
The hard way to dig is using the create button and volunteer to go sailing off this page to "Share Good Cheer!". If you volunteer you could win "President For A Day," while turning a Special Hero into a Super Hero.
You will be called "President George" instead of "King George" because you have the biggest booty! (In 1776 "Booty" meant the munitions and supplies liberated from British ships to help us win our freedom. What were you thinking this patriotic Christmas word "Booty" meant?)
In 1776 on Christmas day you could call the Tun Tavern in Philadelphia Pennsylvania a Thrift And Volunteer Exchange (TAVE).  The free exchange of hunting weapons, farm tools, fishing boats, Christmas baked goods and the joyous singing of "Yankee Doodle Dandy," created the good cheer that inspired the American spirit of the all volunteer Continental army. Every volunteer at the Pirate Dive Bar has a TAVE on their country page. All the volunteers of the Continental army had different things they could share. They gave the list to the quartermaster. Your list of good cheer is called your TAVE and is on the bottom of your country page.  If you see nothing on a country page keep digging by choosing another volunteer.
The ideal volunteer venue is a place you already regularly go to.  Examples would be the dog park, your apartment or HOA clubhouse is the best, the break room at work, a sports bar or community center.  A volunteer venue can also be mobile and your boat makes a very special volunteer venue for pirate school or the boat parade even if your family and friends are the only volunteers on it!  A volunteer venue makes it easy to know what good cheer to create and who you can easily share it with.
A volunteer mission has most of its planning, organization and even rehearsals online but does meet for specific events such as the "Karaoke Challenge Game," "Pirate School," "Meet New Dogs," and other activities.  To learn more about volunteer missions, train your scurvy dog at the "kennel" at any volunteer venue.
The Christmas game shows you gifts that have been created for this game.  Read them to be inspired to "share good cheer"  with your loved ones when you play the Christmas game.
The Christmas Baking Challenge are pictures you can vote on or share good cheer with.  They are a fun way to celebrate two miracle Christmas births.  One is the miracle birth of a nation.  If your place of worship is a volunteer venue with a bake sale of Christmas goodies, anyone from anywhere in the world, can click on  pictures of baked goods to share good cheer.  If you are too far away to pick them up, you might gift them to volunteers already at the venue.  Christmas bakers may be able to recycle the good cheer into support for any cause or mission they want.

Just like Christmas presents, you don't know what they are until you open them.
Christmas of 2025 is the 250th Christmas of the Marine Corps!  Merry Christmas, (you scurvy dog)  Marines!
They raised their flag for the first time at a Notorious Pirate Dive Bar in Philadelphia Pennsylvania called the "Tun Tavern," Nov. 10, 1775. Christmas gifts where you "Share Good Cheer" by volunteering to do "Good Deeds" celebrate our countries first volunteers -the Marines!
These gifts should only include volunteering, singing and Christmas Baking.  The gifts you buy at a store are found under your tree, not here.
Read about the "live" version where nobody has to register or login.  It is a lot more fun than logging in here and the whole family can play.
This section will be open in Jan. 2026.  In the meantime, take a look at the boat parade software! You will be able to choose a boat by picture, parade number, registration, username and lots of different ways.  Then you can watch their live-stream and participate in the activities they have.  Some boats will give you "Secret Code Words," to help you find buried treasure.  Some boats will practice their interactive live-stream during rehearsals, catfishing tournaments or during Pirate School.  See the "Catfishing Report" at 10 am Saturdays.
You can look who signed the 250th birthday card and what message they left!
These are gifts created for a specific mission. For example in the "Meet New Dogs" mission you might have dog challenges or dog treat prizes. In the Karaoke Challenge Game you might be suggesting props for a rehearsal. In pirate school you might be offering to teach sailing for a half day.
These are all the volunteers that have registered.  When you click on a volunteer you go to their country page and see what type of good cheer they are bringing to the 250th birthday party! 
These are local gathering places for volunteers.  Anyone can create them on the Treasure page.  When you visit the kennel, train your scurvy dog for volunteer missions at the volunteer venue.  Use secret code words you get from "Special Heroes," the "Boat Parade," or Mermaids to sneak in the back door for a pirate raid.
These are pictures of the baking challenge.  You can vote on them or "Share Good Cheer"
A Random act of Kindess! (ARK) This great idea was from Rabbi Levi Mentz at JewishForsyth.org.  Read and see pictures of anonymous acts of kindness.
These are people that want to volunteer for missions like the Karaoke Challenge Game, Boat Parade, Special Heroes etc. When you click on a person you go to their country and can join them on volunteer missions.
