Arr, matey! Can you beat the sunset curse before it’s too late? Captain Goldbeard has spent years voyaging the seas in hopes of acquiring treasures beyond his wildest dreams. But one night, many moons ago, the Captain and his crew landed themselves in troubled water embarking on a quest where few others dare go, aboard an abandoned ship laden with treasure, known as ‘The Soul Catcher’. You only have one hour to break the curse before the sun sets beyond the horizon or you will be left prisoner aboard The Soul Catcher for eternity—and with no escape! Do you have what it takes to find the hidden treasure and beat the deadly sunset curse or will you become the next prisoner of The Soul Catcher?

I have now played five games at Escapology Waterloo, and the pirate's curse is the only one that I left feeling really unsatisfied. My friends and I are not pirate fans, so we are very bad with pirate references. English is also our second language (we are native English speakers though), and many things in this room just didn't click. What I like the most about escape rooms is going into something unknown and figure out what to do in an hour. The Pirate's curse is quite disappointing in that sense; it's very clear what you have to do, but unable to solve it try after try gets frustrating. I also find the room lacking logic flow and tech/variety being a bit weaker than the other rooms. If you're bad with words and directions like me, I wouldn't recommend this room, contrary to the high rating.

Another absolute banger, some tricky puzzles but overall one of their easier rooms.

I felt like a real pirate!

I forgot that I wasn't on an actual pirate ship, it even smelt like one (in a good way)

This is a really fun room! Great theme, good puzzles and once they get up and running smoothly (we went during soft launch) any hiccups we had will surely be solved. It's a well built set and we had a lot of fun with the game! Not super hard and probably best for smaller groups and kids would love it! Staff was very nice and want you to enjoy your experience.
