8 escape rooms

In a way the pirate theming is not unique, but it was different enough that it was still fun. The puzzles were not as linear that it will be fun even with a larger group of people since multiple puzzles can be solved at the same time. There was one puzzle that was challenging to figure out, but once you did it sounded so easy. One drawback in my opinion is the number of padlocks in the rooms, feel like it’s relying a bit too much on padlocks although it had some high tech puzzles, but there were quite a few padlocks for my preference. But overall still a very fun experience.

We did this escape room with 2 adults and 2 children (8 years old and younger). While this room has a lot of puzzles to solve asynchronously, the children were able to participate in some of the puzzles with the guidance of an adult while other adults can tackle harder ones. Our gamemaster Harmony was great! She helped us when we definitely needed it and allowed us to discover when we needed it.

Easy

Parking on the street would be the cheapest for those who can arrive early enough to find one. Otherwise, if you're running late, paying for parking in the lot right next to the location can be pricey.

Liked this room a lot. The puzzles were intuitive and you had to work to solve them but not impossible to figure out which are my favorite kind. 5 of us made it out with no hints and 24 min left.

There is one game that would be difficult without 3 people

Was really surprised by how much I liked this room! The first room had more traditional puzzles but the second room too it to a new interactive level that I liked a lot. we had a bit too many people, but we covered a ton of ground. The room isn't very linear so you can divide and conquer. Be aware that the room is on the darker side with lighting so if you have trouble in low light, avoid this room.

I did not like the way clues were at GM discretion, we struggled a couple times and got no help. If it was GM discretion you figure they would of helped us to stay on time, but did not

The last room was not my favorite

I did not like the way the GM would decide to move you along, we needed help and they would not help us, this is the first time I have been in this situation

This has a very high puzzles per hour rate. Tons of little locks to decode. We were busy the whole time because it was just 2 of us. It was satisfying to get out but the final stage of the room wasn’t my favorite. It was not very intuitive and I’d call it buggy.

Gameplay

There are a ton of locks in this room. The end game was not my favorite but did feel like an epic conclusion.

Atmosphere

Well made with lots of things to do. It felt more like a pirate themed room than an immersive ship or brig or whatever it was supposed to be. But very piratey.

Customer service

The staff was fine on this visit. The operator was almost too relaxed with us and was kind of unprofessional. We don’t really care but some people might. They were in sweats and texting while going over the rules and story with us.

Man, we overthought several puzzles and wasted a lot of time doing it. If we hadn’t done so, we would have gotten through the room and ‘escaped’. Still fun!
