Mark as done to rate

Pirates rule the shimmering waters of the Caribbean, and you and your scrappy crew are some of the best of the best. You'll sail anywhere; no ghost story or old legend is enough to scare you away from a chance at glory and gold. Your endless search for treasure has brought you to Dead Man's Cove, a place that many pirates claim lies between the worlds of the living and the dead. You've heard that an ethereal enemy lurks its murky waters, but there's no reward without a little risk...

We love this location and have done a handful of their rooms. This room was delightful! Some really fun and clever features. It definitely has a Pirates of the Caribbean vibe. Recommend for groups of at least 4.

Fun and immersive pirate themed room. A couple of puzzles were mildly frustrating, but overall had some unique puzzles and fun twists. Also has a unique in theme hint delivery system. We did this one on Enthusiast Mode and made it onto the leaderboard!

It was fun but not overly. The Crypt was exceptional.

While we didn’t “love” this experience, it was still a solid room with fun puzzles. Effort was clearly put into the set design and atmosphere, but we felt some puzzles were lacking or not clearly communicated. For the price point of two players, I certainly would have preferred to play during a non-peak time, but a fun experience nonetheless.

I had to leave this review when I saw the last one posted. This experience is awesome! Great use of space, great use of tech and the set is awesome. Fun clue delivery system that’s in theme. Puzzles are easy but enough to keep you engaged for an hour. We had a blast. I guess if you don’t make it out and don’t get your hand held and shown the rest of the experience then you cry and walk away from this company. (Last review) This company is so awesome and all the employees are super rad. Their sets are movie worthy and all are so much fun.

We travel around the country doing escape rooms. The sets of these rooms are well made but I don't have much else positive to say. A well made set will often lead an otherwise bad room to good reviews. The staff were just going through the motions and didn't even walk us through the other room we didn't finish. This pirate room is fairly easy but the flow and story make it weak. My group did 2 and decided to walk away from this company. Not for us

Escape House Austin continues to deliver. A great fun pirate themed room with some unique puzzles I’ve never seen before. A good mix of tech and mechanical triggers. There are a lot of obvious things that are easy to overlook which make it fun. No spoilers, but make sure to look EVERYWHERE on this ship for clues. Sweeping the room again a few times we always found something we overlooked.

Gameplay

If you like all things pirate this will be VERY fun

Atmosphere

For a pirate themed room they nailed it. Effects were fun and pretty modern. Interactive puzzles

Customer service

Raiden was the best game master. Friendly and made the experience fun and memorable.

Game tech

Medium tech, medium mechanics, a good mix of both but not over the top on each.

Excellent pirate-themed room with a mix of physical locks and tech. Strong on story that was fun to play through and would work well for players of all skill levels. We loved our GM, Marie, who was friendly and helpful throughout!

Escape Hour Austin has some solid rooms, but Dead Man's Cove is a hidden treasure. We've played a lot of good pirate rooms and this is better than almost all of them. The set, the props, the theatrics, and the puzzles all make you feel like you're in a pirate movie.

  • The flow of the room was great ... This is by far one of our favorite pirate rooms so far.
