Piratøen [Pirate Island]

Right from the introduction, you can tell that a lot of energy and love has gone into designing this room. When the door opens and you step inside, you’re instantly transported to the treasure island—and we were completely sold on the story from the start. You’ve been sitting at the tavern, The Slimy Squid, eavesdropping on a conversation about hidden treasure. Instead of getting drunk and missing out, you head straight for the boat to be the first to find the loot. As you enter the room, you’re standing on soft beach sand and must begin your search for the treasure from there. The lighting in the room is dim, but there are plenty of lanterns to help you see what’s going on. A large skull with glowing eyes set into a convincing rock face marks an impressive entrance to a dark and gloomy cave. The sound design supports the experience beautifully—both when you're on the island and later when you enter the ship. We’re still buzzing from how well the setting was done. The room is multi-linear, and you really have to stay sharp to keep track of what you’re working on, what’s been used, and all the little details. Unfortunately, we didn’t have our sharpest minds with us when we tried this room, so we needed quite a bit of help to make it through. Still, even though we weren’t at our best, we found the room challenging—and our evaluation reflects that. But we had a great time racing against the clock. If you’re in the area, this is definitely a room worth trying. Number of nuts (max 5) Difficulty level 🌰🌰🌰🌰🌰 Design 🌰🌰🌰🌰🌰 Scare factor 🌰 Entertainment vs price 🌰🌰🌰🌰🌰
