Blackbeard's Lost Treasure

This game does so much right! From the very start, they ask if you’d like the Intermediate or the Expert version of the room. I chose the Expert version, and it was a super fun experience with puzzles that weren’t insanely difficult but took a good amount of time to complete. I loved the accessibility features in the room, such as having a talking parrot say something every time a puzzle was solved helped me understand when I should look for the “effect” that solving the puzzle was the “cause” for and letting me use my cellphone as a flashlight to see better. The variety of puzzles was super cool, and all on theme. Very cool experience made even better by GM John who was amazing in helping me out to complete this room solo with minimal guidance!

Fantastic room! We were four people (two of whom were first timers) which felt like a good number. Very creative hint mechanism, fun set design and puzzles, and a satisfying array of puzzle types. Beware that if you play on medium difficulty, there are a few built-in set pieces in the room that you’ll be expecting to use that won’t come up.

We did the hard option and it was definitely harder than the other rooms I’ve done. There were a lot of puzzles and a huge variety of them too. Would recommend to experienced players.

The room is linear and contains a lot of reading and logic puzzles. Not my cup of tea but others in my group loved it. Gamemaster was great.

"Back in Time" really delivered with this escape room – it was a tough one, but absolutely one of their best! We just made it through by the skin of our teeth. The puzzles? Challenging, but really well-crafted. We had to ask for a nudge in the right direction a couple of times, but that's all part of the fun. If you're into brain-teasers and love a good pirate theme, I totally recommend giving this one a go. It's a thinker's delight! 🏴‍☠️🧠💡

It was pretty difficult. Alright game, I like Back in Time. Certain charm about them.

Overall, a very fun experience. Game master was welcome and helpful. Liked the idea of a time portal taking you back to Blackbeard’s ship. Would come to another room based on our experience!

Overall the room was fun. There wasn’t much plot it’s pretty straight forward. There was one part of the room that was super unique and really fun! All and all it was a good experience

Knowing where to start was the hardest part, but after that, things started to make sense. I love layered or logic puzzles and this room had plenty of them. The atmosphere was okay since their rooms were mainly about puzzles. I feel like 2 experienced players are enough for this room.

Blackbeard’s Lost Treasure is a high seas pirate adventure. Every element was perfectly on theme and the puzzles were delightfully tied into the atmosphere. You can choose the regular or advanced (two puzzles are removed) version. We did the advanced and just eked out an escape with two minutes to spare. There are LOTS of puzzles in this room, but there’s a good narrative progression to guide you through them all. Getting started was tough for us because we missed the opening clue… focus on your searching when you get in! The were nearly all mechanical, not combination locks. Gameplay was fast and fun. Everything worked. In advanced mode, you gotta book it through the room. GM was helpful and friendly. I’d give this room a hard rating. Good room for a bigger group so you can grind on different elements at the same time. Parking was easy.
