Can you and your shipmates solve the crime and get off the ship? That’s the last thing you remember is relaxing in Hong Kong harbor celebrating Christmas with a friendly man who befriends you and buys you drinks. The next day, you wake aboard the huge 3-masted 800-ton Chinese ship called the Keying that has set sail on the arduous and risk-filled journey around the perilous Cape Horn. You quickly realize that you have been fooled by the King of the Crimps, Joseph 'Bunko' Kelly and forcefully drafted to work with the ships' company of 12 British and 30 Cantonese sailors. After months of living in dangerous, unhealthy, unsanitary conditions with little hope of pay, an impending storm drives the ship to seek refuge. You make eye contact with a few of your shipmates and realize now is your only chance to escape! Your Captain, Charles Alfred Kellett, is no fool and it won’t be easy, for he has rigged many obstacles. The risks are high. If caught, you face a lifetime of punishment or worse, you could be hanged!

We enjoyed this room more than Budapest Express. I think it flowed a little better. I do recommend doing it handcuffed as it makes the experience a little different.

Me and my friends played this room and decided to be handcuffed, it definitely added on more fun having to all be stuck together. This room was on the less difficult side but it had some great puzzles that I’ve never seen in escape rooms before.

We set a record in this room, it's super quick and easy and the room directs you well. We did opt to be handcuffed and didn't end up spending time on unlocking them, which helped our time. Everything flows well and makes sense.
