Mark as done to rate
Race against another team or enjoy as a separate experience. This is one of two games that are both epic, pirate ship-themed games featuring great thematic elements, challenges, and puzzles. In this adventure, you are one of the Pirate crew in the middle of an attack by the British Navy. Your captain has hidden gold on your ship and you must find it before the British find it or ship sinks into the depths of the sea. Can you keep what you've rightfully stolen? While also enjoyable as individual games, The Combat on the High Seas rooms are both side-by-side, allowing larger groups to divide in half and compete through the puzzles to see which team makes it to the end first! Unlike many competitive rooms, which are simply mirrored rooms, our competitive rooms are individually unique while being carefully balanced to allow for fair competition AND rematches!

This is one of two paired rooms that are designed to be played competitively (the British Navy room is the other). Both rooms are about the same size, have about the same number of puzzles, and are about the same difficulty. The plot is as simple as can be: you are racing the group in the other room to get to the ship’s hold and grab the gold. We liked this room (Pirates) a little bit better, but they were both enjoyable. Both rooms are linear — we played with four and that might have been too many in terms of everyone having stuff to do. Good puzzle design throughout with a variety of different puzzle types. Mostly four-digit codes and physical keys. Some of the locks and props are showing their age (be careful of splinters, there is a lot of wood on the set). Recommended, but only as a pair: either room is too short to stand on its own. Played back-to-back in either order, these two rooms felt like a complete and satisfying experience to our group of experienced solvers. For novices, either room by itself might be a good introduction to escape rooms, though.

Really cool concept for completion room this side felt like the easier of the 2. Puzzle and flow between the 2 different sides were not comparable, but neither were overly difficult

This was a fun game for the family, but nothing really stumped us. Definitely a more ‘beginner’ game, but really entertaining. The puzzles are thematic and, aside from one clue we needed to discover one key, clues are unnecessary to get through it. Probably the easiest game we played at Urban Escapes.

My team blew through this one, definitely our fastest escape. Enjoyed it though, a great room for beginners but still enjoyable to play through. Cool concept being paired with an opposing similar room
