9 escape rooms
Great room theming. The room was very immersive and contained components I have never seen from any other escape room. That being said, the room gave us a lot of hints and clues that we did not ask for. We were maybe only three minutes into the room still exploring and a clue was given to us when we had barely any time to figure things out for ourselves! Yes, at some points in the room we were a bit stuck and the unwanted clues weren’t as bad, but at a lot of parts we were a bit babied and just told what to do with these hints. Also, this is a non-liner room, meaning you don’t need to do one thing to continue. This concept was fun as multiple people could all be working on different things at the same time, but this also led to people starting to do puzzles that were already done and did cause some people to miss parts of the story since they weren’t there to help complete something. However, all in all this was a very good room and would recommend!
Gameplay
It was definitely a fun room. Lots of puzzles were some that I had never seen done before, making it felt like a totally different escape room than all the other pirate ones.
Atmosphere
Very immersive. At some parts you even felt like you weren’t actually in an escape room and more an experience.
Customer service
Staff was very kind and helpful!
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Definitely much different and more in depth than almost every other pirate escape room I’ve done.
Story
The story was a bit lack-luster. There was a big story element given at the start of the room telling us about the treasure we were looking for and its purpose. But after that the story kinda fell off. The puzzles were kinda just there, without any reason for them being there. They’re definitely people who don’t care about the story and just want to do puzzles, but I do enjoy it when the puzzles have a meaning. For example, if there’s a map. Why is the map there and what was it used for. I think including these types of things add a bit more depth to a room.
Difficulty
Medium
Some puzzles were a bit challenging, but for the most part we didn’t get truly stuck on any puzzle.
Game tech
High tech
Very high tech. The room included animatronics that clearly had a lot of work put into them.
Ideal number of players
5
There is a lot to do so having a smaller group might make it a bit difficult, but having too many would definitely just make the room too chaotic.
Scary
Not scary
Besides from many skeletons and dark parts this room was not the scariest.
Minimum age
10
Was anything broken?
No
Live actors
No
Physically active
Not at all
Accessibility
There were a few parts where the floor changed level, but nothing too extreme. There were multiple color-associated puzzles and the room was quite dark for the most part. The animatronics would talk and speak to you and would sometimes include instructions crucial to solving the room.
Easy to find location
Yes
Parking
Easy

Hi Warren! We were literally just talking about how impressive your team was — you flew through the room with almost no help from us at all! In fact, you finished with one of the fastest times we’ve ever seen. The way you all communicated and solved puzzles was incredible, and it was such a joy to host your group. We totally hear your feedback about the hints, and we really appreciate you sharing it. What might have felt like “clues” were actually built-in story moments — they don’t give away solutions, and your progress was 100% all you. You definitely weren’t “babied”… you were just that good! Like so impressive! Thank you for highlighting the theming and uniqueness of the experience — that means the world to us, since we aim to deliver More Than An Escape Room®.
