The word is Treasure in the name of the game. Pirate is the key.

In future when Bitcoin dominates the universe and 1 satoshi costs a lot, pirate40 will repent sincerely and invest 0.01 btc into research of time machine.... then he will collect painfully all the stolen coins and send them back to the trusted community member in a box with his apologies...

So my guess is stolen coins and a letter from pirate

Nope! Real box. Real game from 1985.

A side panel of the box reads:

Quote
Combine your love of problem solving with the thrills, mystery and swashbuckling adventure of a real pirate treasure hunt.

I did not make up the above, and will offer proof of such text later.

The contents is the box rattle when shoke.

"How to host a Pirate treasure hunt"?

Very nice guess, but no, albeit ONLY one word of your 7 word submission is part of the overall name of the game.

Which one of the following is it?:

a
host
How
hunt
Pirate
to
treasure

The box is prominently colored black with silver and white lettering, still wrapped in its original plastic shrinkwrap.

At some point, I will take a pic of it, offering up an image to prove it exist and is in my possession.

The word pirate is written on the box at least once.

I fear this is something I won't remember as it was before my time Tongue

I don't believe it was a major product on the market, hence not finding anything on the internet. Somebody surely would have mentioned it by now.

The outfit that put it out had an Inc. address in Denver.

Let me get this right we are guessing on what non popular game you have from back in the day just by box dimensions and Denver?

I guess mousetrap, that game was the best. Although I know that was to popular to be this game.

Hrmmm D&D?

No.

The contents of the box is stated on the one of the side panels, but that doesn't negate the statement of wondering what's inside.

A dead cat?  Which is simultaneously alive until you open the box?

It seriously is a game. The measurements of the box is 5 1/4" X 3 1/4" X 2 3/4".

I have a box I've never opened. It's a game, of sorts. I've yet to find any information about the game on the internet. I wonder what's inside. Care to make a guess?
