The room was good if you like the older style rooms where everything is a lock. I think the room probably needs to be updated. We don’t mind locks, but if you are looking for more high tech, it’s not here. Room was relatively easy and straightforward. Good for beginners.

Hi Steven, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on Blackbeard’s Challenge. We’re glad you found it to be a good option for beginners and that you appreciated the classic puzzle flow! While this room leans into a more traditional adventure style with some lock-based challenges, it does incorporate a few tech elements as well—though we keep those subtle to fit the pirate theme. We always appreciate feedback from experienced players like you and will definitely take your comments into consideration as we plan future updates. We hope you’ll come back and try some of our other rooms—we have a range of puzzle types and styles, including some more immersive tech-forward experiences. Thanks again for visiting Downtown Escape Rooms!

We had a blast. Lots of activities for several people to complete at same time. Low tech. Good amount of easy and medium difficulty tasks. Good for families with kids around 10+.

The low lighting was a huge factor for us and we got stuck on one puzzle in particular.
