Reality Escape Game

Across the world's oceans lie anestimated three million shipwrecks, with only a fraction discovered. It's believed every tenth ship harbors valuable cargo, including gold bars, coins, jewels, and porcelain, cumulatively worth around €30 billion, attracting treasure hunters globally. The Bermuda Islands are known as the "shipwreck capital of the world," with over 300 shipwrecks peppering its waters. These wrecks offer unique insights into maritime history and bear witness to the numerous ships that met their end due to accidents or navigational errors in the perilous waters surrounding the islands​​.

Despite the high number of shipwrecks already discovered, speculation abounds that many more wrecks and associated treasures may still lie undiscovered in the depths around Bermuda. The islands have a long history of trade and seafaring, including the era of Spanish and Portuguese treasure ships, which may have carried valuable cargoes like gold and personal items still waiting to be discovered. The exploration and recovery of these treasures are complex and regulated by the Bermuda Historic Wrecks Act of 2001, ensuring the protection of these historical sites​​.

Research projects like Bermuda 100, in collaboration with the University of California, San Diego, are utilizing advanced technologies such as photogrammetry and 3D computer models to create a comprehensive digital atlas of underwater wreck sites. These efforts not only enhance our understanding of the history beneath the sea surface but also open doors for possible future discoveries​​.
