"The legend of Pier 18 endures—a tale of a fisherman-turned-killer whose spirit is said to haunt the harbor he once commanded”. Or so the Spirit Stalkers Tour Squad will tell you! As your tour group shuffles past the condemned pier, you feel an undeniable pull, one that draws you beyond the safety of police barricades to the pier's edge. Waves whisper long-lost secrets, and you can almost hear sad ship bells echo, carrying the weight of eternal sorrow. The Sinkerman beckons. Are you prepared to confront the chilling truth behind the legend, or will you become another spectral footnote in the ghost stories told on the Pier 18 tours?"

This was SUCHHHH a good experience!!!! We played as a team of 4 and escaped with 6m 06s left! We also were thankful and SO gracious to celebrate two milestones today! My partner’s 100th escape experience, and my coworker and friend’s 350th escape experience - the team went the extra hundred miles and got both of them an escake and a bunch of balloons at the end of the room to celebrate and it was so special! Thank you so much to CJ, Derek and the entire team for making our trip so awesome!!!

Gameplay

Gameplay kept us super busy and puzzles were genuinely so fresh

Atmosphere

Jaw droppingly beautiful set design!! All special effects also were flawless

Customer service

The whole team is amazing🥹

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

This is absolutely not a generic theme you see everywhere, not only the theme but the puzzles are all so new and unique.

Story
Difficulty

Puzzles weren’t hard to solve, it was more so the volume of the amount of puzzles that contributed to difficulty

Game tech

A great mix of both!!!

Ideal number of players

3-4 would be perfect, we were hopping around the whole time but maybe a duo would be able to escape with the exception of receiving nudges and maybe going over-time

This escape room is Escape Venture’s fresh approach to puzzle design, featuring an abundance of layered challenges. While I recommend it to everyone, beginners may find it more demanding.

Good theming and plenty of puzzles to solve. Likely better for 4 to 5 ppl.

What an absolute treat to play such a new, fresh game during our 20 game vacation! We very much enjoyed stepping into this very well executed world, with so many very gratifying puzzles and tasks. Much longer/larger than expected. I thought we were really rocking with our solving, it felt like we were always busy, but still we went 8 minutes over time AND needed some assistance, absolutely humbling experience, but I still loved it.

Gameplay

Puzzles and tasks were superbly clued and telegraphed. A natural flow from one to another, and a satisfying feeling of progression.

Atmosphere

All sets are sublimely decorated, even more so then usual being as new as the room is.

Customer service

For three games we had the same host/GM, Paige, and they were positively delightful. We also had a great chat with one of the owner who was gracious with his time and knowledge. Everyone made us feel like a million bucks.

Space wise, two players was very comfortable, but as I mentioned before, there is a very large amount to accomplish in an hour and more eyes or dividing and conquering might be helpful.

Ventures knows how to bring you into a story and they just proved it once again with this game. This was SUCH an amazing experience from beginning to end. The puzzles were awesome, the scenic was insane, and the story was one of their best yet! I loved every little moment, this was an awesome game if your team loves to divide and conquer (and if you don’t then that’s great because you get to do a ton of puzzles as a group!) This was so much fun, a great way to end a tour of escape rooms across central Florida. Shoutout to Derek and CJ for doing it again! AND huge shoutout to KJ 2 for being such a fantastic guide!

Fantastic new room The theme and setting is wonderful. If you’ve played other Escape Venture games this is one of their finest theming start to finish One of the more challenging rooms but everything flowed so well Some very unique puzzles, set pieces and experiences start-to-finish We finished with two people but split up to work on puzzles individually to save on time A team of 3-4 should be in good shape (and fit comfortably in the room) KJ2 was our GM and has run all of our games at the location. We heard rumors or a new room on the way here and we can’t wait to be back for it Random thoughts: Easy parking Fun dining near the location as they are in proximity to downtown Winter Garden (driving not walking) Climbing will be needed

Once again TEV has knocked it out with another immersive experience! The set and puzzles all felt fresh and different. Not scary, but a great spooky atmosphere which led to a fun environment to maneuver through. Always love crawling and climbing in a game as well. Got out with some time to spare, but definitely need to be solving puzzles pretty quickly in this one!

My group of five flew in from LA and played all 6 escape rooms at their other Orlando vacation yesterday, and had such a great experience that when our last game master there told us about a new room debuting the next day, we couldn’t say no to opening day! We are so glad we signed up, as we got to be one of the first to see this room [and made it out in record time! ;) ] It was a privilege to have an incredible host (Sarina) and meet the creator/builder David! Highly recommend!

I love all escape ventures games. This new room is one of my favorites from all of their venues. The decor was top notch and the gameplay was fun and keeps you thinking and moving. I can’t believe how great their use of space is! A must do room for sure!

Gameplay

Very clever puzzles. A lot of puzzles but everything was smooth and thought out. All of the tasks were theme based and made sense.

Atmosphere

Decorated from floor to ceiling. Top notch atmosphere and decor.

Customer service

Incredible of course! It’s the escape ventures team. From the time you walk, until you leave, you are talking to friends.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Not an overused theme so it felt very interesting and new.

Story

Solid!

Difficulty

Hard

Not too hard that we didn’t escape. It was on the harder side but only because there was so much to do.

Game tech

Mechanical

Hard to choose one. Tons of tech in the room but there is a lot of stuff to open.

Ideal number of players

I only say 4 because there’s so much to do in this room. You will be busy and immersed!

This was an absolutely fantastic game! I’ve played over 60 now and this room has definitely made my top five. Top tier atmosphere, puzzles, flow, game room monitors, and behind the scenes creatives make the escape ventures one of the best escape room companies out there (my personal favorite). Couldn’t recommend both their company and this room enough! Simply incredible!
