Tourism & Travel
Another outdoor activity game, where you pretend to be a smuggler and have to get past "customs" and other obstacles. I'd never heard of this game before, so I have no idea what the English might be, and Google is not cooperating.

smugglers
Just another possible solution. I checked in the Scouting Association's list of 'wide games' but this one is not mentioned.

Pirates / pirate game
Just another suggestion. Here's a reference in the context of a PC game:
"The main quest took me around 30 hours to complete, with plenty of that time spent doing other quests, trading, smuggling, and commandeering ships. "

I know this game from my "scouts-era". I have even found an explanation of the game on Google

nothing really. I once played it in England and it was called "smuggling", but I suppose you could add the word "Game" without any problem
