42 escape rooms
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.
